You're 100% correct. Police departments need to bring themselves into 21st century case law and understand that USSC case Mullenix v. Luna allows them shoot criminals fleeing at high speed in motor vehicles, as they present an ongoing danger to the motoring public. Less grab on. More gunshot to back of head as they put it in drive/step on the gas. You have no Constitutional right to flee arrest and endanger innocent people as you do so.

A different article I read said that the cop tried to grab him after he clipped a car. And that they arrested someone else at the scene. Could RICO be applied in a case like this? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

ATV rider arrested after hitting police van in downtown Nashville
One of the ATV riders was arrested today for a hit and run involving a police van. He had weed and pills on him when arrested, but didn't have a motorcycle license. And, sorry, ARFCOM, no mention of the ATV having been stolen. If it been, I'm sure they wold have mentioned it and any charges related to possession of a stolen motor vehicle. NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) — Metro Police said they have arrested the biker who struck a police van during a massive swarm of ATV and dirt bike riders driving recklessly on Saturday.
Quintin Whitman, 32, is jailed in Metro on charges of reckless driving, two counts possession of a controlled substance and driving without a license. According to a police affidavit, Whitman was part of the dozens of riders recklessly driving four-wheelers and dirt bikes. Riders were seen doing wheelies and driving in and out of traffic and going the wrong way along lower Broadway. "They failed to drive with due care and had no regard for the safety of other motorists on the roadway," the police affidavit said. As a result, police said Whitman struck a police van. Police said Whitman doesn't have a valid motorcycle license. He was also found with amphetamine pills and marijuana. the affidavit said. Police said Whitman did not have a prescription for the amphetamine, which is a schedule II controlled substance. Meanwhile, Metro Police are still searching for the ATV rider who dragged a police officer down Broadway. View Quote |

Looks deliberate to me. ATV rider slows down and it looks like he's watching the cop before he speeds up and hits him. At the very least, the cop didn't jump on or in front of the ATV, like some idiots will try to claim. https://i.imgur.com/Qa3WSm2.gif View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:
