Due Force
Welcome to today's rant! This is the place for those concepts that I just can't get my own mind to accept because of their absurdity. And lucky you... you get to read them!
Anyway, on to our inaugural rant:
The headline reads "Troopers Fire on Fleeing Motorist." It is almost true. The key word here is "almost." The motorist had been fleeing police, but stopped and a passenger got out. At that point in time, the officers approached the vehicle. At this time, the driver accelerated in reverse at the police officers! That is when the officers opened fire.
It turns out that one round did hit the driver in the elbow. Doctors aren't sure if he will regain use of his arm after the injury. Now the uproar is about whether the police used proper methods in trying to aprehend the driver.
Ridiculous. The driver initiated the chase by driving at high speeds with no headlights at night, endangering others. It was for this reason that police gave chase to begin with. Then, when the vehicle was stopped and the officers approached, he attacked with his SUV. Yet the family of the poor mistreated driver wants to press charges against the State Troopers involved.
I figure they should just issue the ticket for any traffic violations and call things even. Maybe his arm will keep him from driving without headlights at night, leading police on a high speed chase.
