and you wonder why cops sometimes use violence...

[Natural Man]

Davis was pulled over for a traffic violation by Officer Jessop in January. Davis pulled a .41 Magnum revolver and fired at Jessop ; however, the first chamber was empty, giving Jessop time to duck the second shot. (You can hear the "click" of the hammer falling on the empty chamber in the video. Officer Jessop returned fire as Davis sped away, wounding the "fine, upstanding citizen" - who crashed into a telephone pole and thereby removed himself from the gene pool. (Also saved Montana taxpayers a lengthy trial and a lot of money needed elsewhere.)

Davis had a long criminal history, including a previou conviction for assault on a police officer. Witnesses testified that Davis had spent the evening getting drunk and fighting at a local bar.



Facing death out of the blue like this and escaping it only because of pure luck must be quite traumatizing.
loved the light of fire from the transformer that told the cop he didn't need to chase the guy.

yeah except that 99.9999999% of the time its not a violent armed criminal getting pulled over, its ordinary, honest citizens getting money swindled from them on cheap, harmless technicalities

Using the exception to prove the rule

Haha that can't be legal to empty a clip towards a fleeing suspect, but what the hell.

yes, going 45 in a 35, or 35 in a 25, or 80 on a highway marked 65 is just CRAZY RECKLESSNESS 

and thats just the 'speeding' aspect...i can even begin to get into the myriad of other ridiculous things people get ticketed for.

Contempt of cop or disorderly conduct being the most abused cases.

to be honest, every single day in the united states there are tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people driving under the influence esp. at certain times like after happy hours etc.....using texas as an example (since people here drive everywhere,no mass transit) on weekend nights at 2am, there are probably several hundred thousand drunk drivers released onto the city streets at once. no exaggeration. in a city my size, there are every year MILLIONS of individual drives made while the driver has been drinking. MILLIONS.and yet per year, the amount of people killed by drunk drivers is probably less than 20.

if you are absolutely shitfaced staggering drunk then obviously you probably shouldnt get on the road..but the reality is, statistically speaking, driving under the influence is actually quite safe.

No no no, a magazine is that thing you read.

There are not to many jobs out there that everyday at work you have ONLY shit to deal with.  It is 8 hours of bullshit and hate.  People don't call cops for something good or when they want to be happy.  They call cops because of trouble.  And for someone to work day in and day out dealing with the trash of the city and the scum then I think giving them a little slack is just fine.  You might hate them but at sometime you are more than likely going to need them.

Not the smartest remark you have ever made

'one dui and you shouldnt be allowed to drive for 10 years'

yeah, I agree there.  My wife's car almost got pushed off a bridge one night by a drunk mailman on the way home from the bar.  Totaled her car and the guy tried giving her a hug before the police got there.  Drunk prick.  I almost got arrested for running at him when I got there.
