While the mother was clearly wrong in taking off and resisting arrest, she should also be charged with endangering the children.
The cops? Have they not got helicopters in New Mexico? Or spike belts? Both would be far safer than shooting at children in a moving vehicle! Maybe there was a dog on board, which would explain much of the cop’s actions!
One of the reasons I drive an SVT Raptor is that I can make a left or right turn through the fence and keep on going.
I've been jacked up before and one of these days, I'm going to be motivated to do exactly that and make them get out the helicopters if they want to jack with me again.
