zero time for reaction or drawing his own weapon. hindsight bein 20/20, should have floored it and ran him down.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Draw his weapon? He was in his weapon.

Terrifying. Thanks for posting this. Cannot believe the press got this so soon.

WOW!


How is officer Fox doing?

 

[Denny347]

I could have done without the news commentary but watching the video is worth it. He stopped once before and stayed in the car, I bet the officer was thinking the same thing was about to happen. Reaction is ALWAYS slower than action. We are forced to be reactionary most of the time so we are usually at a disadvantage.

It appears they took the video down...or I'm too stupid to find it.

I read the story though & sheesh...not what one would expect when pulling over a white Volvo. I'm glad to hear that he's going to be physically OK. My prayers will be with him & his family.

I don't know if this was drug related, but it seems such shootings usually are...which really makes me question our unsuccessful war on drugs. IMO, it's not worth our officers' safety when they pull someone over to inform them their taillight is out & then get shot because the driver had 3 bags of weed in their car. Decriminalize drugs & most of the drug related violence would go away. Sad.

That's scary stuff. One of my best friends is an LEO. Much respect for the job you guys do. I don't think I could do it.
Thanks for sharing.

Prayers sent for a speedy recovery for all the officers involved!! +1 to the officers that stopped that idiot!

 

[IndyColtsFaithful]

I literally cannot think of anything to say to this. It leaves me speechless. Thoughts and prayers out to the LEO.

 

[bwframe]

OMG, there is some very scarey reality.

 

[Atkinsons]

My thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family. God bless!

Man i wish i lived in your world where everything was so cut and dry and perfect. You really think legalizing pot will make these kinds of things stop... really?

What?? Are you for real?? Thats the dumbest thing I've read in a LONG time. Some pothead sack of ***** is breaking the law and in possesion of an illegal substance, then breaks a another law, attempted MURDER. So he!!s bells, lets just make the first problem legal so as to prevent the second problem.

Thats pretty much the same logic the anti's use....

 

[Paco Bedejo]

I guess you guys don't understand why prohibitions cause violence...

 

[45calibre]

I think paco was trying to say that is the marijuana was legal he would have not had a reason to flee thus preventing the chase.

 

[looney2ns]

Terrible story, any0ne able to actually find the video refered to in the op?

I dont think you understand that Pot is not the same as booze. there are reasons its illegal almost everywhere in the world but booze are allowed.

Lets get rid of speeding limits entirely so people no longer speed.
