Things might have ended differently, just sayin.

Once the suspects car is used as a weapon, as in charging at the police cruiser, it is open season on the car and occupants.

Sounds like they need some turret mounted mini guns.

Maybe a .30-30 or some THVs for the 9mms?

Cleveland, catch it!

The article did not say that the suspect's car rammed police. It said there was a collision. Could just as easily been the police cruiser hitting the suspect's car to pin it in place.

Or maybe a drone strike.

I thought the drones were busy blowing up neighborhoods along Stop 11 Road in Indy and blaming it on the gas company.

Or maybe a drone strike.

or maybe fired from their job...

Here's what 20 seconds of sustained fire sounds like. A warzone.

Many American police, particularly the green to blues and those who wish they were, have no problem with Fallujah tactics.

Well its dark, you don't know if the car has guns in it, been chasing them 20 mins, an a bunch of your buddies show up all at the same place an time.....one cop starts shooting and your not going going to get in on the fun........

That's what I think happened. After the first cop opened fire, threat assessment went out the window and gang mentality took over. It reminds me of when Jose Guerena was shot 71 times in his home. Video showed the last cop scurry up to the door and blindfire into the hallway, just to get in on the action.

Of course, excessive force wasn't in their vocabulary either.

A little bird told me that we haven't heard the whole story here.

How often does anyone get the whole story?

 

[phylodog]

That's what I think happened.

I think they made the whole thing up. I think this group of renegade cops were bored with smoking crack and stealing the goods from the neighborhood hookers so they took a vote on a color and the first car that drove by in that color they all took off after it like a pack of dogs on a rabbit. Once they finally got it cornered they had all forgotten that they had illegally converted their pistols to full auto and once they started hitting triggers it was impossible to stop. I think there were probably more like 137,000 rounds fired but a couple of the ring leaders were smart enough to sweep up most of the brass before the bosses showed up.

They should all go to prison now and when they die in there their corpses should have to stay for another thousand years. I think the children of these officers should be forced into slave labor until they're 65 years old. Their pensions and every police pension in the country should be forced to pay the families of the victims four hundred and elleventeen bazillion dollars.

Probably would have gone smoother for everyone if this car simply pulled over...

It's Cleveland, you could be right.

 

[j706]

I got an idea....everyone that runs/flees in a vehicle gets shot. That would put a damper on that BS.

I have no problem with the LE actions pertaining to the original post other than watching their crossfire. Those two in the car...they won't be doing that crap anymore.

Dude, you can do that sarcasm anywhere BUT Chicago, New Orleans, Philly, or Cleveland.
