It's wrong that cops intentionally put themselves in front of a fleeing car so they can legally shoot to kill?
A vehicle will fail to stop for a traffic violation and lead cops on a high speed chase and the vehicle will be pitted or momentarily stopped and a cop will get out and throw himself in front of the vehicle with gun drawn so that he won't get in trouble or get the department sued for shooting the suspect by saying the cop's life was in danger or the suspect was attempting murder... the cop is the one who put his life in danger by stepping in front the vehicle. He could have just as easily stepped to the side of the vehicle and shot the tires or used spike strips or some other means to stop the vehicle, but because many cops are adrenaline junky cowboys who think they are going to save the world, they have been instructed on how to avoid legal liability to get away with unjust acts. I am not saying people who lead cops on a high speed chase should not be stopped or should not be punished, but death should not be part of the punishment, especially when it is delivered on the streets with a bullet without having their day in court. Why don't people speak out against this kind of injustice perpetrated by authorities?
