Gonna be a mess - got an excuse to agitate

It is always amusing how 100% of people killed by LEO are all "nice kids".

Not once has anyone said "Well tbh, the dude was a pretty big asshole, but it's not like he should've been killed for assholishness. But I'll put it this way, I ain't buying flowers for the roadside"

It's all, 100% "He was a nice kid, he was cleaning his life up, he was gettin' his kids back, he was going to stop snorting crack off hookers ass cracks and was going to invent the cure for cancer"

Becauae it looks better for the civil lawsuits that follow.

What's wrong with sniffing coke off a hooker?

You don't sniff Crack, even though it's the same thing as coke.

It must not be the same, based on sentencing guidelines and statutes written by people who snort it. :p

And the criminals who get shot by the police all of a sudden become a hero or a community idol.

Now wouldn’t that depend on just where on the hooker you are sniffing the coke from?

One from a couple weeks ago. You can skip to 1:30.

I can tell you, anytime I see a motorcycle officer in a pursuit it amplifies my stress so much. I also ride, and the empathy I suppose scares the crap out of me. Image being on a 500-750 lbs motorcycle with zero protection chasing a 7000 lbs vehicle that on top of being reckless, would be happy to kill/ram you at any moment. And oh yeah, while they can jump out of their car, you can't exactly just jump right off a motorcycle.

If I were in the officer's shoes I'd be thinking every one of these pursuits was likely my last even if shots were not fired.

Also, this officer is LUCKY that the perp is shit at marksmanship. Not that he did anything wrong, it is just such a shit-show being at the disadvantage.

ETA: If the perp was a different race, this would've been reported as "cop shoots unarmed black man in the back, who was running away from him in terror, 100 feet away".

I don't envy the person who has to break down the difference under oath.

Damn good shooting, accuracy wins and the good guy goes home.
