While the sheriff was caught saying some stupid things, I don't necessarily disagree with the order to take him by any means necessary. This fuckface was driving a truck and trailer recklessly at high rates of speed for 50 miles trying to elude police. He clearly wasn't stopping and was risking the lives of innocent people for over 50 miles. The report that he was unarmed is bullshit because the vehicle is a weapon in this case. When people run from police like that, they are typically running for a reason and aren't going to stop willingly.
Had he pulled over, he'd be alive. His fault.

Agreed. Stupid people get stupid prizes.

So who gets to decide what where the line is? You will find out in life that if it's good enough for that guy, one day it will be good enough for you. His words are all I need to hear to decide this sheriff is one crazy motherfucker and a menace to society.

Actually, they were given the legal authority to make that call. It'll never happen to me because if the cops pull me over, I pull over. I don't lead them on a 50 mile high speed chase while dragging a trailer full of projectiles in and out of traffic.

Goddamn. So many bootlickers in this thread justifying use of overwhelming force. Including the ones downvoting you.

Exactly. It's not necessarily what he did, but what he said. We don't need sociopathic cops or sheriff's out there who "thrive" on killing people, no matter what they've done. There is a certain procedure for a reason, and if the situation calls for taking somebody out, then that's what needs to happen. But what he said is damning, and I hope he goes to prison and is raped a hundred times before he's shanked with a screwdriver covered in HIV contaminated blood.

The police get to decide.
