Anyone with reasonable intelligence would know that a pit maneuver at those speeds would be extremely dangerous...the trooper had real courage to do the maneuver at that speed.. Glad he lived through it.

It was lethal force. Justified lethal force to stop an immediate threat to the public. Of all the possible terrible outcomes, the cop managed to force the least terrible one to occur. Risky but it worked out in this case. |

That trooper might be out of the hospital but that doesn’t mean he’s fine. I’d bet his back and neck are fucked for life.

If the guy had pulled over, taken his ticket, he would still be alive. He is responsible for the outcome. His actions alone permitted the trooper to what he did.

Quote HistoryQuoted: If so that's bullshit I would acquit and buy a beer If a driver's reckless driving threatens the life of other people when police are trying to pull you over---or due to your reckless driving you cause death, property damage, or injury--- because you initiate a high-speed chase; then fuck 'em. The driver gets what he/she deserves. Driver should also get attempted felonious assault/murder charges on everyone that they almsot kill/endanger. Fuckheads playing "Dukes of Hazzard" in a 3000lb vehicle going 60+ mph, driving recklessly just trying to avoid capture or a ticket belong under a fucking jail for a long goddamned time. Especially if they endanger other lives/kill/injure or maim people in the process. |

The reporter says the pursuit lasted at least 17 minutes and involved multiple counties. Why wasn't he PITted 10-15 minutes beforehand? That would have been far less risky to the public.
What did the trooper do wrong in executing the PIT? It looks to me like he pulled up too far and contacted the rear or rear side of the tire which lifted the corner of his patrol car into the air. |

They guy was killed because his actions lead to law enforcement determining that deadly force was justified(as, at least in Wisconsin, a high speed PIT is considered deadly force). You're splitting hairs here and it's quite pathetic. The fact that anyone smart enough to figure out how to turn a computer on would have an issue with this technique being used on some fucking scumbag deliberately driving into oncoming traffic at 100+mph outside of the risk to bystanders and law enforcement absolutely blows my mind. |
