Cop that shot at minivan with 5 kids in it at New Mexico incident is fired

[Arcanist]

Well, it's considered breaking the law, and it tends to get you pulled over when caught.

Yes,yes, it's definitely a high crime. This speeding. Certainly justifies roughing up the mother and shooting at a van full of children. And the fact that she did not drop to her knees and immediately submit just adds further insult to injury.

How dare she try have a discussion with him? Does she think that he's his equal? Outrageous!

LOL, dat bitch be crazy.

Oh, the horror.

Speeding and then she decided it was a good idea to drive off without receiving the ticket, then she decided it was a good idea to try and evade the ticket again after being stopped a second time and her hero of a son decided he would help mom out by getting out of the car and beating on the cop. After that she drove off again after her and her son got away from the cop and proceeded to start a high speed chase through opposite lane traffic with a van full of kids.

Oh the horror indeed when you don't care to look at the post as to what happened.

He had no right to ticket her, harass her or chase her.

You asked why she was " harassed ", i figured you meant pulled over. No one is suggesting that she should have " dropped to her knees ", but the officer fired more to the fact that her son assaulted another officer.

I certainly hope that there aren't a lot of people who look to her as a model for what you do when pulled over by the police.... while the police in this case were absolute idiots of the highest order, I will say they had a right to be agitated and suspicious by the time they finally caught up to her the third time.

(That would justify an arrest or more forceful measures to bring her in.... how they decided that this justified beating on the van with a baton or firing a gun at her when no threat had been made apparent is beyond me.)

Yes. Driving away from the police after being pulled over is the same as not dropping to your knees and immediately submitting.

Yes. Children are often seen as threats by police officers. Great threats!

Well, he had a right to ticket her for speeding, then he had the right to harass her when she became belligerent, and they chased her when she chose to flee.

[Raptor With a Saber]

That sucks, hope they rehire him as a detective or he goes into private work. The guy did what was right shoot at the van and try and kill the driver to stop a possible mass murder of kids or not and let him and his fellow officers be known as the ones that let the kids die.

[darkwarrior42]

So going 16 MPH over the speed limit isn't cause for a ticket?

Teenager attacks police officer, and you still try to justify it, kudos sir, kudos.

[Wilhelm137]

He had every right to ticket her for going 16 over the original speed limit and then had every right to go after her again when she decided she would dodge the ticket by driving off. If you don't live in the US please do not post, this isn't about our laws versus yours, it's about our laws and how they are meant to be obeyed.

Felony, eh? You're speaking as if she actually robbed, raped or hurt someone! Whereas in reality, she merely deflated a police officer's ego.

Sounds like someone is mad after getting a ticket before when they broke the law. Good choice of words there, you really showed them.

Gotta give it to DEM POLICE. F DA POLICE MAN!!!! He has a habit of saying that or having said view.

[Arcanist]

Do you think going 15 mph over the speed limit justifies the entire incident? That doesn't seem like a measured response to me.

So, we're just going to ignore the felony evasion and assaulting a police officer?

Its about the best way to handle it.

That the police were wrong for how they handled the resolution does not mean she was right, nor does it mean they were not justified for pulling her over in the first place.

Evading arrest is a felony, sorry that you don't like that.
