I’m a retired cop, and yes ... WOW!
If the constable was serving an arrest warrant following a failure to appear or possibly numerous FTAs, and the habitual traffic criminal said to himself, “Screw it.” and threw the car in gear, gunned the engine. A car can be a deadly weapon.
Usually I’m with the mob in cops v. dogs, but here that defense might work. If true.
Otherwise, this constable punks ‘Dirty Harry’ Callahan.
Or he might be as crazy as a thin-skulled woodpecker.
