Topic	What do you think of cops who purposely jump in front of the car of a fleeing
Kyuubi4269 12/30/19 1:53:38 PM #38:	LinkPizza posted... It also endangers the public if they let the criminal flee. In the UK the police abandon chases when it endangers the public. It's not acceptable to create a danger to catch a criminal. In Japan, chases don't really happen, they just take down your plate and visit your house. Again, it is not okay to endanger the public, even to apprehend a suspect. _AdjI_ posted... Yes, it's not the fact that the driver is willing to run down anyone that gets in their way that makes their escape dangerous If you know they're willing to endanger the public to escape yet you will still instigate a situation where they will need to do it to escape, you have created a danger that otherwise wouldn't occur. It's not reasonable for the police to escalate risk. _AdjI_ posted... The driver has the option to stop when the cop gets in front of them (again, presuming it's not a matter of jumping out and shooting before anyone could react). If they choose to try murdering the cop instead, there's no reason that cop shouldn't shoot them. Nobody's getting murdered in a 2mph crash, but it's monumentally stupid and dangerous to throw yourself under a moving vehicle. They're trying to escape, it's up to the cop if they want to commit suicide. You don't blame lorry drivers when people commit suicide jumping under their wheels so it's not the criminal's fault if the officer tries to turn himself in to a wheel clamp. --- Doctor Foxx posted...
