New police tactics to ram thieves off their mopeds have left two with broken bones, The Met chief has said. The controversial move sees officers using their vehicles to stop dangerous chases and arrest suspects. The tough new approach was unveiled this month with dramatic footage of moped muggers being wiped out.

This is tame.

In LA they do the PIT maneuver and then shoot the perp.

Don’t have to worry about treating broken bones.

Is it required that all moped muggers have “mohammed” in their name?

A lot of ‘em just got up and ran!

But it was funny to watch ‘em go down first.

This should also be allowed for motorcycle high speed chases, too.

"The controversial move"

To whom ? Oh, yes, only the leftists, as these are their key constituents.

What do they mean, ramming thieves off “their” mopeds. If they are thieves, wouldn’t they be someone else’s? Or do they artive on their own mopeds to steal something else (and then attempt to make a getaway)?

Just wait until one of these muggers spills acid all over themselves. The police will really be in trouble!

The moped is the get away vehicle.

Think the ramming speeds should induce more physical harm, but it’s a start.
