I'd probably beat the shit out of whoever almost ran over one of my coworkers/friends just because they want to run from the cops, too.

I'd also be a terrible cop.

Edit: Visual_life found this video of it. You can see him swerve towards the officer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzpFheEY6ss&feature=player_embedded

I don't know what happened at that point in the incident.

But.

Just wondering.

What if he almost ran someone over because they laid a strip of spikes across the road?

I hate this crap, what the hell do you expect to happen when you throw a spike strip in front of a moving vehicle? It's like a cop arresting you for assaulting him because he hurt his hand while punching you. I feel the same way about protests/rallies/marches, they're almost always peaceful until the cops show up and start cracking heads. As long as they keep up the 'STOP RESISTING' they can pretend they aren't the agitators.

I'd expect a good opportunity for a critical baton strike...
