“While attempting to take the man into custody, he did not comply with multiple commands to stop, and he physically resisted when troopers tried to remove him from the car,” a state police statement said.
    “Troopers shot the man when he continued to drive in a manner that placed officers in imminent danger,” the statement continued.

    Why kill him, though? Why even try to pull him out of the car? Cops have the perp cornered in his car, so why didn’t they let the air out of all four tires, and sit in the squad car eating doughnuts until he gets bored and gives up?

    the retribution my family suffered

    I think it’s really funny that the cops got revenge on you and you still think this

    If that was the joke you were going for you should put the last 3 sentences at the beginning of your comment, which will tie back the punch line to the first sentence.

    Are you going to DIE for your job? I’m certainly not. Once you start trying to use the car as a weapon, all bets are off. Why is it that this particular group refuses to see cars as a deadly weapon? Police do tons of terrible shit every day, but every time someone tries to run over them it’s “they should have let him go and just taken his tags!” or “They should have just let the air out of his tires!”…

    Police are fucking terrible people, I know because I’ve helped a family member put 2 kiddie-diddler cops behind bars and the retribution my family suffered for that was indescribable, but being a police officer is just a JOB.

    Like this is a great joke you almost had it.
