Yep, the cop was acting appropriately for the situation at hand. The car was pointed right at them after they got hit. If he hit the gas at that point it could have killed someone. His actions were either intentionally dangerous or grossly negligent, and still dangerous. Note that the officer kept his trigger finger…

your car is a deadly weapon, the driver had just used it to hit another car, I am 100% okay with the police officer drawing his weapon on the driver of the car.

Id star you except for the dart you threw at "white land owners". I wouldn't exactly associate farmers with the privileged classes.

Well, it was the cops, yelling stop, loudly and clearly enough for Mr. Blevins to acknowledge it with a clear response, and yet he keeps running....???? That’s always just the craziest choice. Anybody think the cops should give-up on the chase? Even if he didn’t have a gun, he should have stopped, but he didn’t stop…

We begged police to wear body cameras to protect both the public and themselves.  Despite the video evidence, we still want these two officers punished.  Shouldn’t we pick our battles to avoid Tawana Brawleying an otherwise righteous cause?

A convicted felon with a rap sheet down to his ankles who was drinking liquor, shooting his gun into the air and had a gun in his waist and was running from cops.

Man had a gun running from Police. What if that man took the gun and killed a bunch of people? Run from Police and they’ll shoot you, teach your kids that when they say Freeze you become a statue. 

For once, you don’t know what you’re talking about.

So, to be clear...  a football player for a major University and brother to NFL player treated a police car like his own personal taxi service........ And, the COPS are the assholes?

Tough case to crack in regards to treason. Won’t happen. 

continuous improvement is not unique to tesla though. i work in auto industry and i can tell you all major automakers change parts throughout the life of the vehicle. design engineers usually design and release parts so that new parts are backwards compatible. Also if you know the part number, all parts have some sort…

Can you please just leave politics out of it? I come here, or to the AV Club for entertainment NOT political commentary. 

So now LIW is genuinely horrible? You’re not going to find a sinless, perfect idol anywhere - so that’s why they shouldn’t be idols. But there is no reason to tear down the honors given for someone’s contribution to the world.  Her work is valuable even if one of its uses were to teach about historical racism.

I’m sorry, but this kind of crap is why Trump is president.  You don’t get to gloss over history for it not being woke enough.

Despite the best of intentions, the CFPB has always had major issues, and those have been called out by both parties...those who are genuinely concerned should do a little research about its effectiveness, or lack thereof, starting here: https://www.forbes.com/sites/realspin/2013/10/03/the-consumer-financial-protection…

There’s that old Gawker feeling.

But you won’t hear any leading Democrat—even now—say we need to get rid of Border Patrol. You won’t hear any leading Democrat with any real power say we need to dismantle ICE. You certainly won’t hear any leading Democrat say we need to rethink the concept of “illegal immigration” altogether.

Tal, seriously, go fuck yourself

A) This didn’t need to be posted to the entire site.
B) From the child of immigrants - fuck illegal immigrants.

please take your common sense,rational opinions elsewhere. that kind of well reasoned logical take is not welcome at the gizmodo media group.
