And once again, that’s not what the article is about.  It’s about purse snatching from scooters.

You’re ignorant of the law—there doesn’t have to be. Google the legal terms “deadly force” and “force continuum”, dumbass.

Actually, it’s about the very legality of employing an act of deadly force against a suspect who has not done the same.

They are different in the level of their liklihood to cause death, under the reasonable man standard.  A “reasonable man” understands that shooting at someone or ramming them with your vehicle is readily likely to cause death.  Tazing or puncing someone is not, despite the fact that it can and has in unique…

Deadly force is deadly force, reagrdless of whether death actually result. People are shot all the time who do not die, but utilizing a firearm is ALWAYS deadly force, even if you miss altogether with your aim. Ramming someone with your vehicle is no different—it’s an act that can readily result in death.

I’m sure it is in totalitarian societies, but I doubt as “unilaterally” as you seek to proffer. Running from police, with no additional intervening circumstances, is a misdemeanor in every western country I’m familiar with, certainly the US.

While I don’t know what’s actually going on, on the streets of England (I’ve never visited), killing people and throwing acid on them from scooters is not what the article is about. It’s about petty theft suspects fleeing on scooters.

In US policing there is a “force continuum” principle whereby police may only bring…

The XR4Ti was only available in Ford’s 2.3L turbo. So if two were for sale, both had turbos, unless someone before you swapped the 2.3 from a base 80's Mustang or something.

It means that the lesbian community recently discovered your locale and found it quaint...

Don’t look now, but aren’t Trump rally attendees and US truck buyers pretty much the same group of people?

Hardly ever touched 5th *or* 6th in my C7. It was 3rd and 4th to get to highway cruise, and 7th to maintain it. Back to 4th again, if I needed to accelerate for whatever reason (passing, etc.).

Yes, that was my point—that the consumers not only cause the SUV booms in cheap gas times, but then fickle immediately on them when gas goes up (just what you said), and then are made further fickle with the US automakers by the predictable dishonest media smear we get every time gas goes up. The whole machination of…

There will always be a market for sub-economy cars, such as the Spark, Yaris, Fit, and yes, even the FourTwo (ugh), etc. These fill the niche for enviro virtue-signalers who don’t have the resources to pony up for a Model 3, Prius, or Bolt, but don’t want to buy used. The lesson Dodge learned with the Dart was don’t…

Also, don’t forget or discount how the media and the green hysterophants jump at the chance to vilify domestic automakers for their truck/SUV/CUV focus every time there’s a gas price spike. Like clockwork, when gas hits the $3+ mark the headlines fill with the buzzwords of “behind-the-times Ford/GM/Chrysler pushing…

No, it’s 600,000 employees that will soon be working better jobs, with much more stable and secure employers.

Many will say otherwise, but I think I would hesitate to characterize 2000's GM quality as “deplorable”. In the grand automotive scheme of things, GM vehicles of the era were generally reliable, albeit designed and styled deplorably in most cases, especially on the inside. Further, the grade of materials used was…

Perhaps because when the cost of the then-cutting edge technology in 2010 necessitated a $41,000 “Cruze”, to do so in a pickup would have put it into Maserati price territory. You have to remember how much battery technology has come down in cost today, compared to where it was a decade ago when the Volt was being…

Um...perhaps because when the cost of the then-cutting edge technology in 2010 necessitated a $41,000 “Cruze”, to do so in a pickup would have put it into Maserati territory.

I see what you’re saying, and yes, all those items are optional interior trim bits on the C7. One would hope buyers would have better taste restraint not to order all that crazy interior bling, but alas. If you get the chance, take a look at one with just the “regular” interior appointments (single-tone full leather…
