it wasnt a split decision he did it intentionally and how do we know this? because he used the word nigger if he has a pre disposition about the black race then of course he has irrational hatred and thus felt no remorse for hitting him with a car he merely thought he was hitting an animal.

do you watch cops?? do you watch the news?? I see cops chasing after people all the time, are those cops without all the "gear" on them?? I don't know if you know or even realize, regardless of how much "gear" they have, like I said, they are TRAINED for shit like this. they are trained to run with pounds on them. So are the army folks. So that cancels your argument on that point..........



I'm not making anything sound trivial. He was running away pretty cut and dry. not sure if you realize man, but cops now a days like to shoot first then ask questions later. as exhibited here, he'd rather try to kill the dude than to follow proper procedure. in the article the officer's superior said the officer didn't follow proper procedure. What else do you want????

Thirdly, no excuse can be made in my opinion to justify what the pig did. He knows exactly how to handle situations, thats what they have police academy for....... Shit wasn't no damn split second decision, dude hopped out the car and ran on foot, theres no rocket science or split second decision involved in this one bud. he hops out and run, you hop out and run. If your not in the physical shape, don't be a fucking cop. plain and simple.

CO-SIGN

YOU ARE ARUGING ABOUT A COMPELTELY DIFFERENT Incident!

"In one video, a trooper uses his cruiser to chase a suspect on foot through an apartment complex; in another, a trooper tells a suspect, "You better run, (n-word), I'm fixin' to kill you."

that is NOT about the cop who hit the criminal w/ his car..that is a completely different incident

If anything its YOU who's arguing about a completely different incident. You quoted me initially.
You ought to READ CAREFULLY about the discussion before YOU QUOTE somebody......................................... Out

The article covers two seperate cases. The N-word is the second case, not the case where the cop ran over the runner.

And sure there was a decision to be made by the cop. Do I leave myself open and run after the perpetrator, who could be running to where he has a gun stashed? Or get him off the street faster by just running his ass over? Yep, I see a decision needed to be made.

huh? you lost me..come again? sorry sleep deprived brain isn't grasping how i'm arguing the wrong argument..the only thing that could come close to being off topic would be when i said cops wear a lot of gear but that was still on topic because it was reasoning why he might not have gotten out of the car...PLUS it clearly states the suspect ran across the road

THANK YOU!!! i'm glad i'm not the only one that realized this..people seem to be meshing the 3 different incidents into one and arguing about them as 1 incident

And obviously he now sees he made the wrong decision. I don't think it was the action that got him in trouble, but the comments afterward. If he had been smart he would have been quiet and handled it more professionally. I understand that adrenaline is pumping and everything happens quickly but these officers are supposed to be trained to handle these situations. I am not taking up for the criminal, hell yeah he needed to be apprehended. My beef is more about the fact that there are good officers out there that risk their lives daily to keep these kinds of people off of the street and they get a bad rap because of guys like this. I have found that guys like this are usually the kids that were bullied in school and choose this profession to get back at society for what they endured as teenagers. It is a fucked up situation and it happens a lot that we do not hear about. I feel that they guy made a bad choice and he should have to pay for that choice just like any citizen regardless of his job classification.

The OP doesn't make it clear that there are two separate cases.

Either way Police must be accountable for their actions. Whenever force is used it must be reasonable when weighed against the situation. If they are not held to firm standards you end up living in a shit hole like Nigeria where it's taken for granted that many cops are corrupt and beating confessions out of people is said to be standard procedure.

As to the troopers comments "I nailed the f--- out of him. ... I was trying to hit him." could be easily taken out of context (it's obvious he intentionally hit the guy to stop him & saying so to others in the locker room doesn't seem too bad to me, it's just the truth - saying he nailed the fuck out of him however does sound bad & reflects very poorly on the trooper.)

in another, a trooper tells a suspect, "You better run, (n-word), I'm fixin' to kill you." - that's the comment of a man who should not be in uniform. I don't break the law (much, I don't count d/loading films/tv ect), but if a police car follows me for a while I'm aware of it and drive careful & I'm uncomfortable. Same for the few times I've been pulled over or stopped. But if I lived somewhere where police were known to come out with shit like this I'd feel a lot worse.

He should be out of a job for making threats like that. I'd make an exception for heat of the moment stuff, but I'd still expect the officer to be penalized or reprimanded.
