Uh. How about "proceed with the traffic stop per the usual protocols"? -- nm

It looked to me that he wanted the guy out of the car to arrest him for possible DUI and the guy was not having any of that - zork Jul 29, 13:40 12
- I'm sure it happens enough that there are protocols to cover that. And that they don't include shooting the driver in the head. -- nm - tobor.2 Jul 29, 13:42 11
  - Obviously something was done wrong, but letting an intoxicated driver to race off is not the right solution either. -- nm - zork Jul 29, 13:43 10
    - Actually that is one option. Depends on the area, traffic, time of day, etc. - tobor.2 Jul 29, 13:46 9
      - During the day on a campus means plenty of pedestrians. -- nm - zork Jul 29, 13:48 8
        
        You seem to be arguing that shooting the driver in the head was a proper response. -- nm - tobor.2 Jul 29, 13:49 2
        
        and you're not reading me properly either. -- nm - zork Jul 29, 13:55 1
        
        "Seems" it seems that way. - tobor.2 Jul 29, 13:56
        
        It wasn't actually on campus. -- nm - Ender Jul 29, 13:49 4
        
        Was it on school property? -- nm - tobor.2 Jul 29, 13:52 3
        
        He was spotted on campus, and by the time the officer had called it in and everything he was already off campus. -- nm - Ender Jul 29, 14:09 1
        
        Then they should have called the city police to take care of him when he crossed the border. That's generally proper procedure. -- nm* - tobor.2 Jul 29, 14:10
        
        No, but close enough to be within the officer's jurisdiction. -- nm - mara Jul 29, 14:03
