Tpoppa Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Not accurate. Using the car as a 4500 lbs bullet is deadly force, and responding with gun fire is equal force, not escalating the situation.Are you speculating or saying this actually happened?

redkow97 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 I wasn't there. Can't say what happened. But I bet 13 cops will say that happened. If deadly force is being used against one officer, everyone who opened fire was justified. The chase itself is a separate issue. But that chase was not the cause of death. That's misconduct (or appears o be, based on the facts and the procedures ignored), and the officers will be punished for that without need for a criminal trial. The civil suit for wrongful death is anybody's guess. I expect a settlement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpoppa Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 What's preventing police from getting on the radio before every routine stop and saying 'He's got a gun?'That way they can defend any actions despite how wrong they are. They can lie and their partner will swear to it in court. It's a perfect plan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When's the last time you had one stand guard for you or bring you a glass of iced tea? How do you know the officer didn't really think there was a gun?
