Quote HistoryQuoted: Seems like Trooper did not know how to use brakes after truck was on its side right in front of him?!?! At that speed he was still going to take time to slow down. Just before he connects it looks like there is a drainage ditch on the right side of the road that the truck goes into; as the truck drops down it becomes the ramp for the still moving patrol car. I don't know what they're teaching now but that's faster than I was told you should attempt it except in an extreme situation. I'm sure we've got some driving instructors here who could better answer. Ugh, I can't type today. |

Could have just as easily launched that cruiser into oncoming traffic and killed an innocent driver. That was an extremely stupid call. Call off the pursuit and find him later geezus.

I would think (even if he had been on the job 3-4 minutes) that he would understand doing a PIT on a high CG truck at (probably) over 100 MPH would be pretty fucking stupid. Not to mention the fact that there is no way he could have seen from the drivers seat if there was any oncoming traffic. Again, I'm not a cop but I damn sure wouldn't try to spin someone at those speeds, especially for running a goddam stop sign. The Supervisor cant see shit from his desk. The Trooper had all of the information necessary at his disposal to use a bit of judgement. He failed. Glad he's OK and glad no innocents were killed. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Seems like Trooper did not know how to use brakes after truck was on its side right in front of him?!?! The front of the squad car got lifted almost instantly, leaving him with no control. By the time he had 4 tires back on the ground they were on the grass. The whole side/top of a truck digging into the dirt is going to stop much faster than 4 tires. Once they touched I'm not sure he could have done anything to prevent that. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Truck was dipping into the oncoming lane, only a matter of time before a bystander got killed. PIT was legit. This is what I saw. What’s the other option? Do nothing and driver kills family in head on collision? That’s exactly what some policy is. Because and I quote “well then that would be on them.” Many or in my experience most, supervisors would much rather do nothing and let the perp kill someone than kill a perp and take the heat before hand. Once the perp has killed someone for real then they’ll jump into action but they’re too risk adverse up front that something would go wrong. You see it a lot and it actually gets people killed but the brilliance is you just blame the suspect. Lawyers, insurance agencies, careerists and liberals are all to blame. |

good pit. Ahole pickup driver was driving in the other lane against oncoming traffic. I'd rather he died than some innocent family going the other way.
I have never done a pit, but the videos I've seen, normally the cop car swipes the back edge and immediately drops back, I was surprised to see him carrying with that car and then launch. glad trooper is OK. |
