Agree completely. Don’t jump in front of tons of moving steel and DON’T reach in peoples cars and try and grab anything. You might be dragged. Alway’s funny how the media covers these types of stories. Headline “Cop nearly dragged to death!” Never a mention that they grabbed onto or stepped in front of a moving…

I did almost the same thing in my truck. The cops had pulled over another car which stopped in the middle of a blind S-turn. While cop #1 spoke to the driver cop #2 decided it would be a good idea to stand in the middle of the opposing lane to stop/slow down drivers coming the other way on this relatively narrow…

TJ Hooker he’s not.

How come the police can’t let someone actively look at the traffic cams and tell the other units in the area where the fuck this guy is, where he is going, and try to get the cars license plate? How come the ford explorer interceptor at 44 seconds didn’t do anything?

Stepping in the path of a car is a good way to get run over

My favorite excuse for overly aggressive policing

Deliberately running over? He attempting to go around

Maybe it’s a bad idea to step in front of a 4000 lb car with your 190 lb body. It was a brave move but foolish at the same time. He was a stab of the gas pedal away from dying. The only reason he’s not dead or heavily injured is because the driver turned away. If he’d just laid on the gas pedal, that’d be all she…

If this cop had managed to pull his gun in time to pop this idiot in the face, I would be completely fine with that;

Excellent point...being frustrated with a suspect, even if he tried to murder you, is not a justifiable response...dumping a clip at a perp in crowded area is probably only justifiable if you actually make contact with the perp, in which this case, LEO did not.

we are killing people for doing burn outs now? jeez.

I’m with you, but I think we need to get away from the idea that the standard for cops pulling (or shooting) their guns is whether it is “justifiable” and instead reintroduce the idea that it must be necessary.

Serves the dumbass right. Don’t step in front of a car if you don’t want to get over.

Hang on a minute here. The car proved a very poor choice for a deadly weapon, as the same officer who mounted the hood was seen running at full pace mere moments later.

Goddammit. Have your star.

Guys, I’ve seen someone stopping a car with his bare hands, in a movie.

There wasn’t a hit and run (at first). Pig stepped in front of a car that was being operated poorly. Why would you do that? Plenty of nypd cars on video. call them to do something.

He still should have holstered it while pursuing.

I can. There is no reason to draw his weapon. Shooting someone for trying to avoid being arrested is not ok, even if the cop was hurt. Also, he shouldnt have gotten in front of a car. Take the licence plate down and call ahead. Both cops are idiots
