A real man would try to figure out how to help a cop who is hot pursuit.

And I don’t mean by being a Rambo. There are many ways; being a good witness for instance.

Or getting out of the way.

Posts such as yours are a discredit to all of the intelligent, sane gun owners.

An LEO in hot pursuit is allowed to pursue with no restrictions even if the bad guy enters your house.

Of course to be legal it must be hot pursuit, not “I think he might be in there.”

Your post is that of a fool.

How do I know that the black-dressed ninja shooting up my property, pets or family is a LEO? Moreover, if someone busts down my door without warning I'm going to defend my home.

In America, the police respected private property. They always identified themselves. They did not use lethal force as a first resort. They acted and dressed like officers of the law. They earned and kept the respect of the citizenry. That country and those police are gone, but one way or the other I will not live in a police state. Posts like yours are a discredit to those of us who choose not to live as subjects in thrall of our masters.

If we still are a Constitutional Republic, no one has the right to come onto your property and shoot your pets, members of your family. A "real man" would know that by definition.

Can an officer in hot pursuit crash his/her vehicle into other vehicles, bystanders, those in crosswalks, jaywalkers or do their rights somehow get in the way of that LEO's in hot pursuit rights to that win at all costs?

How much damage is okay until you've crossed the line and you're just as bad as or worse than the perp you're chasing?

It really is how you play the game, especially once you realize the game is just a test.

Agreed.

I get sick of all the bravado big talk on these dog threads, and any other time the poster could utilize a firearm.

Amazing all this big talk yet hardly any such stories of some big walker doing so and making the news, as a result.
