Chasing a cop with flashing lights is criminal. The reasons the lights flash is to keep people from getting too close..because if they get too close, they might get winged by flying bullets, arrested, or clipped by a cop car that is not observing traffic restrictions. In fact, the light alerts people to the fact that the driver is not observing traffic restrictions.
I was speaking in general terms, not about this incident.
Why?
Someone suggested to me that running someone off the road isn't criminal.
They do it all the time. Sometimes they push a rear bumper to make a car fishtail. Public safety matters more than the asshat's.
No, not hit the rear bumper, you are referencing a PIT stop, which entails precisely hitting the suspect's vehicle in the rear quarter panel with corner of your front bumper , causing a spin out, which disables the engine of the suspect. If done correctly there is minimal danger to human life.
As for THIS incident, kudos to Ravi and Bode for not jumping on the liberal bandwagon.
Closed Caption is being a moron. You don't try to pass a cop who has his lights on, and you don't try to pass ANYONE between the left lane and the median.
That's how you stay alive.
