“If he was aiming that truck at me, I’d have shot him in a heartbeat.”
So, if your vehicle was hit by another vehicle you would get out and shoot the driver? That doesn’t sound right but to each his own.
You don’t happen to live anywhere near Birmingham do you?
I *thought* the final impact of his truck was ~him~ ramming the parked cruiser but it seems more likely his truck was rammed by a cop again, from the front, pushing it back into the cruiser, otherwise, the dash cam would have surely shaken a lot more than it did.
Is it the norm for cops to repeatedly ram expensive cruisers into other vehicles as much as they did his truck?
Several years ago, over zealous, “blood lust” cops chased a kid down a back road in WV and wound up causing the panicked kid to die...and the driver of the car the kid t-boned in an intersection.
Pursuit laws changed because of them.
No longer can they indulge in “wild hunt” chases.
Seriously, are you retarded?
If you watch the video, he slammed his truck into the cops on purpose multiple times. When the cop got out of his car, he revved the engine as if was going to ram the cop who was no longer protected by his metal car.
Yes, I would have shot him. And I don't live near Birmingham (thank god! I visited once) but I'd shoot somebody in Birmingham or anywhere else if they tried to run me over on purpose.
You can kumbaya the truck away in that situation.
As a private citizen, with no obligation to even attempt an arrest, purposely ramming my vehicle, I would first attempt to flee, but if he followed I would shoot from inside my vehicle.
