Why do you say it's bs? Do you think he was going to assault the cop with the bottle of antifreeze?
Kid: "Oh, it's the cops. We're on a hill, and I don't think the parking brake will hold, I am going to chock the rear wheels so we don't roll into the guy."
For a 17 year-old, that might be a reasonable train of thought. Have you ever done any kind of project with a 17 year old?
For me - Thank God I wasn't killed for all the stupid things I did when I was 17. (and 18, and 19... through about 25.)
What do you think the cop would’ve done if the kid’s truck rolled into his car?
