"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 |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
