Modern Synthetics

I understand where you are coming from regarding the officers vulnerability while sitting in the vehicle if the perp were already off the bike or standing. I guess from that video though I am thinking the guy is still sitting on the bike and the officer is not really threatened so he could order the perp to raise hands, get off bike and lay down or something. Know that I think about it, a police officer could not duck to the side much at all with all the gear they wear and all the electronics in the center of current patrol cars. OK, I understand your logic for wanting to exit the vehicle instead of being a sitting duck. Thanks

Good job Newb, trying to stir up some shit with stupid comments. You can't be serious with what you just wrote. Just because a few cops make bad decisions as we all do on occasion, that does not mean that all police should not carry guns. If you were a police officer would you want to confront violent criminals with pepper spray and a taser? I doubt it. Deadly force is warranted in many situations. This shooting is the exception, not the norm. Are you a recent transplant from California or someplace like that?

Please help me understand your thought process. A motorcyclist is sitting on a bike where he can turn his torso approximately 90 degrees and The cop would be vulnerable. Isn't he sitting in his patrol car where he could duck behind a shitload of steel, plasic, glass and such instead of outside of the patrol car with nothing but his bullet proof vest? I'm confused by your thinking. If I thought someone might take a shot at me I would rather be surrounded by other stuff that may absorb some energy of the bullet or deflect it completely before it hits me instead of being an easy target approaching the subject in the open.
