"Dashcam videos released Tuesday show an Arizona police officer using his cruiser to slam into an armed robbery suspect who was walking down a street while holding a rifle and firing it in the air."
"Police in Marana, Ariz., a suburb of Phoenix, are defending the officer's action, saying the suspect was a danger to himself and others. But the suspect's lawyer is arguing police used excessive force, reports CNN."
"'Everything in the video seems to point toward an obvious excessive use of force. It is miraculous that my client isn't dead,' lawyer Michelle Cohen-Metzger said." ...

Editor's Note: I suppose the lawyer would have preferred it if the officer had just shot him? |

Excellent police work!
Give that officer an extra week of paid vacation. |

Good drills that cop.
Plenty of alternative actions could have ended worse, either for the armed felon or some poor cop who got shot whilst trying to talk the guy into giving himself up.
The guy should be thankful he isn't in the morgue with multiple gunshot holes. |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
