    Dashcam video shows Arizona officer intentionally running over suspect

    Yeah just saw this disgusting...I mean what the guy apparently did what exactly great...So it's a new approach for Police abuse.
    It was hard to watch.

    You're probably right though- they should have waited until he at least shot someone.

    If a nutball is going to walk down the street firing random shots it is clear that he is a loony and you don't know what he is going to do next - no one does period.

    Taking him out like that was an equal response to his actions, it basically said "Listen pal, we don't know what you are going to do next with that weapon, you have already showed us you are willing to use it. Time to take you out. Your bullshit stops now".

    Good day for citizens not to be shot today.

    I'm going to say that as rough as this looks, this looks like the cop did the right thing. The guy was walking around with an apparently loaded weapon that he had already fired. Like you said thirty, you can't exactly wait until he shoots someone or himself.

    Agreed, and add in the fact that a person is probably more likely to survive a well placed car hood than 5 to 10 well placed bullets!

    I am actually ok with this. Of course the image is brutal, but he ended the threat as quickly as he personally could. The guy already fired the weapon once. Who wants to wait around and see where he fires next?

    That cop that ran the dude over is lucky he didn't kill himself. What if that CMU wall was reinforced or was a berm with soil on the other side?

    Into the fray! This cop may be a distant relative of this guy ...

    if it were not on video he would have been charged with nothing.

    i am going to start filming cops.
    Correct me if I'm wrong but I heard somewhere on the news where there's an app that you just push a button it starts to record then automatically uploads the video to YouTube. That's in case a officer tries to confiscate your phone or tries to destroys it....the video is already been uploaded. I think it's called something like You Watch?

    Anybody heard of this app.

    When I came home during lunch today, there was a pursuit on the local news. Woman who failed to yield, oddly observant driving (vs the assholes who just fly through intersections and the like). They executed a perfect pit-maneuver, and once she was out of the car and secured - even before, since there seemed to be a communication issue - the officers appeared to be gentle and concerned for her.

    Then two of the cops high-fived each other - I saw it as "yeah! Went down with no harm, no foul to anyone". It was pretty cool to see.

    Yeah it is hard to watch and the footage and a bit dsgusting at first then when you really think about it what the guy was doing I mean really what did he expect and the Cop did what he had to do and atleast people lived so problem dissolved there.

    I respect this post.

    I respect it because initially I got the impression you felt differently. Now it seems upon further reflection, you have come to another point of view- it's not signalling that you have abandoned your value system.

    Many here- including myself at times- become very rigid in our positions. This is not an ideal quality. Changing your point of view after discussion demonstrates much.

    I wonder if the officers already knew this guy had robbed a convenience store, set a church on fire, broke into a home, stole their car and then drove to wally world to steal a gun, all prior to him being run over that day.

    Yeah of course I see where your coming from but my point of view has not changed and I'm sorry you ***FEEL*** that way...So upon further "Reflection" of this incident I was CLEARLY just extending on what I said.

    Maybe read those two posts of yours and note the differences within them. You might then be able to understand how a reader could think you had changed your perspective.

    This post is weird given the pm you sent me.

    Pike Place... correct!

    It's the Eddie Vedder solo show poster when he performed at the Benaroyal Hall.

    * With regards to the other stuff... all is good (I hope).
