What that man that evaded police did, could be thought of as attempted murder!!!! Yet the cop is on trial???? That is wrong!
Do you people that have a problem with this have any idea what it takes to be a police officer???

Yes, there are SOME cops that abuse power, 99% do not! They have one of the toughest jobs on the planet. If you do what they ask, you have no problem. It's the law people! Follow the law and guess what? NO PROBLEMS! If you evade police and go on a wild chase, you derserve ANYTHING you get. Maybe the law should be the cops can shoot with deadly force, then we won't have these issues.

I commend the police for putting up with what they do. Some people have problems with police because of their own issues...shame on those people.

Heck, even break the law and follow what the cop says and no problems.

Yeah, ok. Unfortunately, regardless of what some people seem to think, that is not true.

What's tragic to me is that a lot of people will argue against torturing someone who threatens to kill everyone in this country & everyone they are related to & anyone who refuses to agree with their way of life. That means that they will be happy to shoot everyone here in the face at point blank range (or heck, maybe even saw your head off for everyone with an internet connection to see) & it's terrible what we would do to them, but shoot a cop in the face & let the cops get vigilante justice for it & that's ok. Sometimes, I just don't get the double-standards.
