What that man that evaded police did, could be thought of as attempted murder!!!! Yet the cop is on trial???? That is wrong!
Do you people that have a problem with this have any idea what it takes to be a police officer???

Yes, there are SOME cops that abuse power, 99% do not! They have one of the toughest jobs on the planet. If you do what they ask, you have no problem. It's the law people! Follow the law and guess what? NO PROBLEMS! If you evade police and go on a wild chase, you derserve ANYTHING you get. Maybe the law should be the cops can shoot with deadly force, then we won't have these issues.

I commend the police for putting up with what they do. Some people have problems with police because of their own issues...shame on those people.

I agree with most of what you are saying and at one time I believed that the U.S. should give our police forces the same freedom to apprehend criminals that the German government gives the Polizi. The Germans are allowed to beat the piss out of you immediately, apprehend you, then ask questions later. This is due to the fact that their insurance basically states that they must do everything within their power to
detain the suspects to be covered medically in the event of a disaster. The reason that this would not work in the U.S. is because of the level of professionalism associated with the Polizi as opposed to our Police forces. Simply put, we have officers that have absolutely no right being a police officer. Telling them to do everything in their power to apprehend suspects would fuel some seriously excessive force.
