Well i still say officers shouldn’t stand in the middle of the street when crazies are out in their cars. That is just common sense.
Oh sure, let the crazies control the streets and terrorize the populace.
That’ll work out really well, won’t it?
Right and officers should not bother with reports of shooting as it can put them in harm’s way as well.
Your common sense is anything but.
Also, the criminal in question backup up and put the officer in the line of sight she was driving in, she aimed for him, guess that is his fault to.
I say that people should start to consider a quote from FDR
“In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.”
― Franklin D. Roosevelt
Understanding the law, that the police and Federal officers can act if vehicles are coming towards them, think about the scenario. Two people drive from Colorado to Minnesota in the dead of winter to harass Federal agents and impair their ability to do their duty by the law. Then, one of them blocks them with her vehicle, the other gets out and videos while screaming at the first one to “DRIVE, DRIVE” as the officers surround the vehicle after telling her to stop......
Is this just and unfortunate event or is it coordinated by people around the driver, knowing the outcome, to distract from the Federal Fraud investigation in Minnesota and soon the rest of the nation? FDR would have an opinion about that.
You would love Colorado; the state highway patrol is rarely seen on the interstates, so folks seem to routinely drive 10-20 mph over the speed limit. My wife mentioned recently, however, that someone got pulled over for doing about 125 mph on I-25, north of Denver. So, maybe 125 mph is a bit too much, even in Colorado.
Hey, Renee Good was from Colorado - maybe that explains why she thought it was OK to block two police vehicles, ignore multiple commands to get out of her car, and just drive away, hitting one of the officers with her car! Or, maybe hitting an officer with your car while resisting/evading arrest would be a bit too much, even in Colorado...
;^)
Well, I say that "Monday morning Quarterbacks" should be trying to instruct officers how to act in the middle of an active situation while you're not even in the same state.
Yeah, just let crazy do what they wat! Good plan!
It’s just common sense to do what the nice officer asks you to THE FIRST TIME.
