Re: USA - Dude Dead After Cop Tases Him On Highway
The bottom line is that: yes, ultimately, 9 times out of 10 when a perpetrator, yes, even George Floyd, is shot or killed by cops, it is the perp who set things into terrible motion by chimping out, resisting arrest, or becoming dangerous and aggressive. That is absolutely the case here. Dumbfuck ran, dumbfuck died, killed by a dumbfuck deputy.

Re: USA - Dude Dead After Cop Tases Him On Highway
The #1 responsibility is on the guy who fled from the cop. However, the SUV driver was also responsible. That was a preventable vehicle homicide, had the driver been watching the road. But the driver was not watching the road until it was too late. Here's why: 1. The cop car with lights flashing was sitting at the top of the elevated exit ramp in plain sight of the oncoming car for at least a half mile, at least. 2. The 1st cop was in the roadway and had the flashlight pointed toward the fleeing man and the oncoming car 7.5 seconds prior to impact. The 1st cop continuously signaled the oncoming car for 4.5 seconds prior to impact, while standing in the middle of the road. The 2nd cop along the guide rail next to the fleeing man also started signalling toward the oncoming car with his high intensity flashlight switched to strobe mode, also 4.5 seconds prior to impact. 3. A car traveling 70mph = 100ft/sec. This means that the oncoming car was 750' away when the 1st cop entered the road and 450' away when both cops steadily signaled the car with their flashlights. 4. The common DMV rule of thumb is that headlights safely illuminate to 400', and that was prior to our modern high intensity lighting. Two people standing in and along the road signalling with flashlights, including a strobe flashlight, can be seen much further than 400', certainly within 750'. 5. Another common rule of thumb is a car going 50mph with simple brakes can fully stop within 4 seconds. Anti-lock brakes have shorter stop times. 6. NTSB allocates 2.5 seconds for a driver to take evasive action after first seeing a road hazard. That delay accounts for brain recognition, processing and instructing hands and feet to act. 7. If the driver was watching the road, pre-warned for at least a half-mile by the flashing cop car lights, the driver should have seen the flashlights 750' feet away, and acted on it starting 500' away. The driver could have braked and/or changed lanes. 8. The driver reacted 1 second from impact by braking, and followed up by the intelligent action of blaring the horn. Using the 2.5 second-reaction rule, the driver first observed the flashlights 3.5 seconds from impact, which is 350 feet away. So, what was the driver looking at for the 7.5 seconds that the cops were along and in the road with flashlights? |

You are right, let the runner cause a mass car accident by jumping in front of them |
