“U. S. Citizens are a patient people. Enough is enough.”

I have little problem with this if it actually is a US citizen is defending themselves and their property with lethal force.

I don’t think a police sharpshooter in a helicopter shooting at people in a speeding vehicle is quite what we want happening in America.

Had they pulled over when instructed and identified themselves as such, they wouldn't be dead now.

Nine adult men in a speeding vehicle evading police. What could go wrong here?

Tell me, what’s your take if the vehicle rolls and six of those people are killed? What’s your take if that speeding vehicle impacts a vehicle with a family of five in it, the parents and two of the kids are killed?

Is that going to be the fault of the authorities too? Yes, it will be.

There is more at play here than you seem to want to think about.

There have been countless hour long pursuits on the streets in our region. If the officers can take the drives out from the air, I’m all for it.

Why should another citizen(s) have to die, just because we need to be nice to the person endangering everyone on the road around them?
