  1. What about when a LEO decides YOU are trash? You think that can't happen? Welcome to reality.

  2. People in cities sometimes won't even pull over for an ambulance. It could be someone they know is in the ambulance! Some don't seem to think that way. The big city effect of leading people to feel anonymous and like they don't matter leads to this behavior.

  3.  @TheIrishRushin  - Curious, reasonable people don't respond to cops asking for the reason for the question by telling them, "You'll find out." That's reasonably interpreted as a threat and would hold up in court as justification for the police officers to detain the person of interest.

  4.  @Enderboiiii  - I was certainly not surprised, but still disappointed to see them half-heartedly using best practices. Except for large cities, few SWAT team members will ever call on their training. They know that. This can effect their training attitude (degree of intention to simulate concern) and even morale. Same goes for other people in training for crises. Look at how many people in fire drills act like it is the real thing. Very few! Same goes for SWAT. If you don't act like training is the real deal, you won't be prepared for the real deal.

  5. I was surprised the cops stepped out from behind the door. Maybe because doors don't stop bullets well?

  8.  @dotcassilles1488  - When you rang a neighbor's door and they asked who was there, a common lame joke was, "Avon lady!" But they stopped coming around eventually. However, the pyramid schemes continued, with Tupperware, Yankee Candle, and the One Crime Ring To Rule Them All - Amway! That criminal group is still in existence, unbelievably.

  9.  @MichaelCoffman-w6o  - I wonder if ANY former pilots have become cops. That would be a major step down in prestige.

  10.  @myartistryisunbound  - A cop that almost DID kill himself and others because of his ego. You sound like a childish young man., or an older one who never grew up.

  11.  @TheCaptainSlappy  - You don't understand causation, logic, or the law. In all three cases, the cop choice to PIT was a causal factor in the death. By law. By logic. By obvious causality as shown in the video.

  13. "Y'all ain't got to restrain me." Thanks for that authoritative legal advice!

  14. Anyone else try activating he Closed Captioning to follow the radio chatter? Rather than giving a readout of the radio traffic, the CC says [Music] (perhaps due to engine roar), the [Laughter] and even [Applause]! Machine Learning has a long way to go with automated CC! :--D

  15.  @GwynneWalkerTrujillo  - "PIT"ing at that speed seems pretty well guaranteed to create a multi-vehicle accident. I suspect a jury would find that reckless.

  16.  @0oJoe  - What a PERFECT imitation of the sales pitch. That extra .4% qualms any worries about fraudulent inaccuracy. ;-)

  17.  @bovineknievel410  - 1. Wrong. PITing from the right sends the rear of the perp to their left, but the perp then swerves to the right. If the pursuer does it right, they decelerate more rapidly while the perp swerves to the right in front of the police car. 2. The real world is not a video game. You don't know how the perp will react. What you DO you know is that two cars hurtling along at high speeds will potentially become deadly missiles after the PIT is executed. The cop doesn't know what the perp will do or how the car will handle. The risk is substantial. Tens of people have been killed by PIT maneuvers. They are not supposed to be done for excitement. They are supposed to help catch very dangerous people when no better option exists, including letting the perp keep driving and maybe even breaking off pursuit.

  18.  @feeltis  - The officer could not predict how the perp would react to the impending PIT, so PITing was reckless. You can't control a PIT outcome, maybe you can control your own car. The dynamics are too non-linear for reliable outcome prediction, especially since human inputs are involved from both the cop AND THE PERP. Also, at really high speeds next to a centerline divider and with guardrails on the other side, you are nearly 100% guaranteed to have some kind of impacts involved after the PIT. At those speeds, impacts are very dangerous to any near the perp or cop.

  19.  @randibgood  - So, if a jaywalker runs from the cops, you can shoot them? Well, your form of justice is crap in the eyes of most people. Police are not supposed to be executioners.

  20.  @jamesa.7604  - Grow up. He wasn't pursuing a terrorist who was about to delivers codes for triggering nuclear warhead explosions.
