What the hell difference would it make then , if the guy crashed his self or if the guy got tazered and it made him lay the bike down? Stupid KSP. I guess there's another good reason to wear your "thick" protective clothing :)
I got some days off with out pay when I threw a night stick and struck the operator of a motorcycle in the head as he was driving up the sidewalk trying to elude me. It was very much worth the days off. It still brings a smile to my face thinking about.
He was a fukkking thug that should have been wearing a helmet.
I get that (BIG SMILE), Glad you had the chance , not many could do such a cowboy/Indian type stunt. I like the idea better than a taser.Quote:

Anyone who has had a bike should know that speeding fast on a bike is dangerous . However cornering along with acceleration can make a huge difference vs. someone chasing in a heavy car. Hell run the plate, see if it's stolen, if not go to his residence and ticket him , take him to jail. Less danger!
That's exactly what they did, so what's the problem?Quote:

And you can't tell me otherwise either. Furthermore, you can't tell me why the guy was running.
They slowed him down and took him down under safer conditions, and without serious injury or secondary damage. You can't ask for a better outcome than that, so your theoretical Monday-morning-quarterbacking has zero foundation, legal or otherwise.
