Last I checked DC and Outback Steak house had the same slogan


No rules

just right


so you can do whatever you want there and you will be correct in doing so

 

DC's FIRST URBAN NINJA/SWORD-DEER HUNTER!!! WOOT!!!

 

It absolutly amazes me that people will pull attitude withsomeone whois armed with at least 2 firearms, tazers, pepper spray and various bludgening objects.

As tough as you think you are peace officers have training and most likely years of experience in putting the hurt on people. Wheter or notpeople deserve such treatment has little bearing if an officer feels threatened. They have high risk, high stress jobs people. Most people become enraged if their drive through order gets screwed up, imagine if in your line of work you may be shot at on a regular basis,thensome clown wants to test your authority and act oddly?

Personally I've never had any problems with the law merely due to the fact I act polite and respectfull when I do have to interact with them, and i feel I was actually let out of an 85mph ticket once because of such actions.

Just nod and smile, say yes sir, no sir, and you get to go home with no extra holes or electrical burns.

Views on the situation? You post yours then i'll post mine and the reasoning behinf them which i'm sure will surprise you.

 

I think we'd have a drop in DUIs if the punishment was immediate death by police officer.

 

5 shots may have been excessive, but assault on an officer with a deadly weapon is going to elicit a response in kind.

Not sure if its urban legend or even still in effect, but didn't N.Y. police have the option of shooting fleeing suspects?

 

Before anyone spouts off about how RONG the cop was, answer me THIS:
If *YOU* were the one standing there, with a side-arm, at night, and some obviously drunk guy you were attempting to help reached for his glove compartment then stomped on teh gas with you still in the door-way of his car...

Would you pull?!?!?!?

Answer honestly...

Why? Or why not?

Now, IF you said yes to pulling out your weapon, would you fire?

Why? Or, why not?

For those who answered "no," and "would not fire," tell me, how are you able to ascertain teh intent of the subject in question?

Who speaks up for your rights after the subject runs you down and speeds off?

...and, whichever of you moroons thinks "just shoot out the tires," GO TO YOUR ROOM, NOW!!!

 

I anwser when the cop who heads the thread does,and no i don't think the cop should have fired for reason everyone so far has mentioned as the cops life wasn't really in danger if he stepped back as the car was already d. I have a much more legaly complex belief about his actions that will be made after the honda anwsers,and again its not what ur expecting or thinking so let's wait a bit.

 

The story leaves out some important information necessary togive my opinion.
What time of the day (or night) was it?
Were there any other innocent bystanders in the immediate vicinity?

There was an incident with some similarities to this in South L.A. a year or two ago. A 13 yr-old boy stole a car. Cops surrounded him, but then shot the boy when he tried to maneuver around them to get away. Shooting was ruled justifyable use of force.

 

Guys, the block button doesn't work for me if you just quote what he says. Oh well, at least I don't have to look at his annoying sig.
