What options exactly? -- nm - zork Jul 29, 13:44 16
- His option was to not stupidly stick his arm in the car and instead chase the guy as he drove off. -- nm - Ender Jul 29, 13:48 8
  - I think they try and avoid chases at all costs. He can hurt others if he's allowed to drive away -- nm - CQ Jul 29, 13:52 1
    - And chases by the cops ramp it up more. -- nm - tobor.2 Jul 29, 13:52
  - That's the thing. Everything is what he shouldn't have done (including shooting the guy). I'd like to know what actually should have been done. -- nm - zork Jul 29, 13:50 5
    - What do you think I've been saying? -- nm - tobor.2 Jul 29, 13:51 4
      - Maybe I'm not reading your posts properly but the only message I'm getting is to not shoot the guy, which I agree is desirable. -- nm - zork Jul 29, 13:54 3
        
        I think we can all agree that shooting a person in the head is not the most desirable outcome, heh -- nm - CQ Jul 29, 13:55 1
        
        absolutely -- nm - zork Jul 29, 14:01
        
        Calling backup, blocking the car, -- nm - tobor.2 Jul 29, 13:55
- Physically blocking the car with the cruiser for one. -- nm - tobor.2 Jul 29, 13:45 6
  - It was behind the suspect car and the guy would be gone before getting it going. -- nm - zork Jul 29, 13:46 5
    - That's why you call backup. So there's more than one car, and that one of them can cut the car off. -- nm* - tobor.2 Jul 29, 13:47 4
      - The other cop was out of the car covering the first cop. -- nm - zork Jul 29, 13:49 3
        
        They should both have radios on their shoulders so they can call for back up. -- nm - tobor.2 Jul 29, 13:50 2
        
        cops are stretched thin as it is, teh macho expectation is, you stopped them, you handle the situation - zeitgeist Jul 29, 14:03 1
        
        Well...he is now "that" guy who shot a possible drunk because he looked at him crosseyed. -- nm - tobor.2 Jul 29, 14:09
