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

@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.

@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.

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

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

@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.

@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.

@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.

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