Yeah, they other car is actively shooting at the cop cars. Policy in that case is to work as fast as you can to neutralize the threat, which in this case means playing bumper cars and wrecking your windshield.

well, madmen who only shoot at police are still better than madmen who shoot at civilians, and we give the latter ones badges and uniforms

It's your own bloody fault.
I think the guy in the car wash they shot and tried to murder before fleeing probably had a uniform, though it's unclear if he had a badge.

The background is that the guys in the SUV had just murdered a guy at a car wash a few hours earlier. That, combined with the shooting at the police during the chase presumably opened the door to some ...unconventional techniques. The shooting while driving down a residential street part still seems inadvisable to me, but the justification to do what it takes to stop the guys they were chasing seems solid to me.

Panic and bad decisions affect every job, like diving into the pig waste lagoon to help get someone else out.

Seriously, there's no reason to be shooting out of a vehicle while it's moving unless you have nothing to lose, or you're not the one driving. Especially if you're doing two-hand shooting at high speed.



But I'm focusing on the actual OSHA aspect of the clip, and trying not to devolve into another cops derail.

I got forwarded a prayer chain email that's pretty OSHA:

So and so was trimming a tree and fell off his ladder, falling 15 feet and landing on his chainsaw. Airlifted to XXX, chainsaw cut his face, bad back pain and no feeling in his legs.

So homeboy (a distant cousin) was actually in a front end loader and a limb he cut knocked him out of the bucket.

Bad back pain turned out to be c5 and t3 fractures and the initial report of cut to his face was apparently more like removed his face. :magical:

Yes I'm sure the fleeing criminals took the time to only shoot at the officers when no other civilians were anywhere near the police behind them. This while speeding through traffic risking the lives of everyone on the road resulting in them driving into an elementary school. But I"m sure they called ahead and warned the school to clear out first. Truly they are the heroes.

This one is pretty justifiable because:

1. It's an isolated country road at night so there's not really anyone in danger from the gunfire.

2. The bad guy was shooting at the cops so they could shoot back.

lol no. go gently caress off yourself. Cops shouldn't be endangering the lives of random innocent people, there's other ways to deal with something like this than shooting at them in the middle of a residential area.

I'm pretty sure they crashed into an elementary school because the cop shot the driver. It wasn't intentional.

Nah, shooting in a closed cab with an assault rifle is a good way to not hear anything for hours, if ever again.

How could they not consider just two guys jumping in one car if they're going to shoot while moving? It's literally the purpose of calling shotgun :shrug:

I am pretty sure that in a first world country cops shooting through their own windshield in a car chase in an urban area like some bad action movies is unacceptable behaviour resulting in criminal prosecution of said officer regardless of suspects actions.

Don’t go around enabling this kind of preventable OHSA behaviour please.

Multirotors seem like the absolute worst type of airframe to scale up to carry people. They're inefficient, unstable, and at least with a helicopter you can autorotate to the ground if something goes wrong with your engine.

I have a feeling that they've become more popular for stupid poo poo like that is because you have a flight controller handling the stability, so their "pilots" don't have to be knowledgeable in pesky things like aerodynamics since movement in 3D space is completely fly-by-wire. Good luck when one of your props fails tho
