| Topic | What do you think of cops who purposely jump in front of the car of a fleeing |
| streamofthesky 12/29/19 10:15:55 PM #29: | Depends what exactly you mean. I haven't seen videos of such instances, but if it's simply preemptively moving in front of the suspect's car before s/he has a chance to try and flee in order to discourage it? Sure, that's fine I guess. But when you describe it as "jumping" in front of a fleeing suspect's car, it conjures mental images of a car already accelerating to try and speed off, which makes it seem difficult for the suspect to actually react in time to stop. That would just be utterly reckless and stupid on the part of the cop, and would seem to me that it's just trying to create an excuse to open fire. Running from the cops is dumb and won't work out for most people, but I don't think it deserves an extrajudicial death sentence. If the cop's just trying to create such a scenario, then that's fucked up. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
