Who cares what the standard is? Maybe this is a new standard. "Running suspects over with a car?" you ask incredulously.

No. Efficiently handling a threatening situation. This cop saw an opportunity to make sure the situation did not escalate further. He should be applauded.

Fuck protocol...he easily could have saved several lives.

hopefully the next cop that pulls you over decides the new standard is to smack you like a little bitch

This is helping you come off as completely normal. Good job.

Something ever happens to you and your family because cops didn't do something and you'll be first in line suing the department and city for negligence. Just shut up with you're garbage. He wasn't going 10 over on a highway, he wasn't jaywalking, he wasn't loitering. This guy had committed breaking and entering, robbery, and vehicle theft and then had a rifle in the middle of a populated area. There is no right given to citizens in America to act like a piece of shit. Eliminate the threat.

You live in a society, you play by the fucking rules.

Use of force by the police is not illegal.

The whole "you criticize Cops but someday you'll need them" line is not a wise one. You don't lower standards for cops because "Hey, what if I need them someday?"

I'm more on IMUs side of this debate than Bagels but that's silly.

Bagels the guy didn't give cops a lot of options. IMU, there is no reason to celebrate what happened and I doubt anyone in law enforcement would call running over a citizen "efficient"


This is a sad story. The cop is probably gonna be in therapy.

i think it kinda was protocol. the guy was an immediate threat to the public. and im sure the cop is tired of seeing all these shooting stories in the headlines and he didnt want any part of that, so he just said "fine, cant use my gun ill use something a lot more fun anyway"

This is not what I'm doing. I'm saying the public's perception of cops will never be good. While there have been a couple unacceptable cases of police abuse of power, this is clearly not one of them. The system and laws are not broken. Maybe the police departments aren't being as careful as they need to be when promoting from the academy.

But the police have the ability to use force, and the actions of guys like this are the reason that use is justified. Let's say the cop did nothing, and this guy shot and killed 3 people in the area.

There would be a firestorm about how the media has handcuffed the police from doing their job since every cop on the job is now worried about being sent to prison for life for attempting to apprehend a criminal.

Lose lose.

This guy was a criminal with a rifle in a public area. This shouldn't even be a debate.

Allowing the guy to possibly take hostages or cause harm to others is certainly not efficient.

I stand by my use of the term efficient. This was efficient. It mitigated risk. It prevented escalation.

Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

I agree with this particular use of force.

To say the system isn't broken or write it off as a few bad apples is crazy tho


There are problems on an institutional level with police. From the literal resistance to intelligent people to the obvious racial bias, the problems exist.


It seems like Bagels has issues with police and you have issues with people who hate police and your taking it out on each other. I think its misdirected on both sides, but my formal training is in commodity futures so what do I know.

Should have swerved when he saw the rifle under the chin....but still get the footage!

I have issues with people who interchange "your" and "you're", and I hope the cops shoot and then run over them.

I think it starts and ends at "who" is being accepted as police. I don't think you 'break bad' once you become a cop. That is what I meant.

Edited. I'm allowed the occasional slip. With me, you know it is a typo.
