Are cops becoming too bloodthirsty in America?

[Gandrake]

last night near me a guy is caught up in a pursuit that was ended by a police officer intentionally pulling out in front of him. the guy has 2 broken ribs, a broken knee and god knows what else. a local article says he sustained life threatening injuries.

all because they wanted to stop him for speeding lol

it's literally all they got him for

It seems like all you ever see on the news these days anymore is that cops are killing people.

[Darkeon]

So you are saying.. he ran away?

[ParanoiD84]

Dont run from the police then.

[grexly75]

And you would be really angry if they had not caught him and the speeder T-Boned a car that happened to be owned by someone you know or a family member..

They are just stepping their game up to the level of their opponents.

He fled in a high speed chase that could have injured or killed someone. He needed to be stopped.

Then he shouldn't have ran.

Because the media is pushing a narrative that increases their ratings. They go out of their way to find the most extreme incidents to grab views.


Cops aren't, for the most part, blood thirsty. They just have to put up with the worst of civilization and sometimes they have to use means that would seem extreme to someone who is just sitting at a computer screen.

Nah, the cops were correct in stopping him.

If they had to force a cash, the benefits outweigh the risk.


(Based on your lack of evidence/article)

Why was he speeding then?

I don't think that could happen in EU-countries, not even with their terror-alert as high as it is in some.

Of course pigs lust for blood. They're insecurity in their manliness leads them to become pigs so they can abuse power they would otherwise never have. They prove that they are real men by hurting and killing people and generally being dicks while facing little to no consequences.

Make sure you do not criticize Sharia law next time in your posts, because this mentality fits right in.


Those who claim he shouldn't have ran away from cops, and by running he deserved broken ribs are ignorant of the basic concept of rule of law. If you speed, you get a fine. If you run away from police, there is also a pre-defined punishment for you, but certainly not police breaking your ribs on the spot.

The pre-defined punishment for speeding and running away from the police should be a bullet to the head.

Do you have a law you can cite that shows that cops don't have the right to stop a fleeing criminal?

Yes crimes have predetermined punishments, but that doesn't mean the officer enforcing the law doesn't have the right to bring a criminal to justice. A "pit maneuver" is dangerous but it beats the suspect crashing into someone else at high speeds.

there's some context missing.
care to link the article?

This.

Cops are always getting brow beaten on chases. When you run from the police it makes them question who you are and why your running, you could be Ted Bundy (Example)

They aren't chasing you for speeding. They are chasing you because you obviously have something to hide that is worth killing people over.

Let's assume that he's a criminal, neither stopping a "feeling criminal" nor "bringing him to justices" equates to "breaking his ribs". There isn't much to discuss here until you get some English lessons.

Too many american cops are just thugs. Why? Too many jurisdiction require very little education when hiring people as police officers.

Look to other countries... Most require 2-3y or specialize courses on top of a bachelor degree.

If this was a true story they would have gotten him for resisting arrest, and not just a traffic violation. I would pick a new and better source for my news.

police officers should have more power. they should feel free to shoot when and who they want and not have to worry about consequences.
