Let Hahn, and that idiot Bratton, patrol LA using only Nerf flashlights.

Or spitballs.

Unless I'm mistaken, a moving vehicle could certainly in and of itself be a deadly weapon.

LA continues its support for its police.

Nothing mentioned about shooting the driver of the vehicle. "I was aiming at the driver!" Bratton is a maroon, regardless.

This chief is just unreal, he never backs up his own guys. He always carefully chooses his words so that he doesn't upset the activist.

And if that poor, "innocent" 13 year old had T-boned your 18 year old daughter's car running a red light, and killed or crippled her for the rest of her life (as has happened in two cases I'm personally aware of), would that be a "tragic accident", or criminal negligence on the part of Police for not preventing the wreck??

This PC crap disgusts me. Every time I see a car chase segment on TV, I wonder about the idiots running that Police Department (or the Major, Civilian police commission, etc.).

Look, if my own 17 year old son steals a car, or gets drunk, and starts drivnig recklessly while evading the police, they'd BETTER shoot him before he kills someone else's innocent wife, child, or husband/father!

Well that's the end of suspended licenses. Cars can't kill. What would be the point?

Hahn, Bratton, you two should team up with Sheriff Baca and start making Three Stooges movies.

The change would prohibit officers from firing at a moving vehicle "unless the officer or another person is being threatened with deadly force by means other than the moving vehicle,"

All you people in LA better look out because the criminal has the right of way.

[ApplegateRanch]

prohibit officers from firing at a moving vehicle "unless the officer or another person is being threatened with deadly force by means other than the moving vehicle," Bratton said

So, Bratton says it is okay to murder or attempt to murder an officer, provided only a car is used as the weapon.

Not wishing anyone [No; of course I would NEVER do that! I'm a GOOD l'il ' FReeper.] bad luck, but wouldn't it be interesting of a few of car loads of LAPD officers stood by and watched while a killer SUV chased down, attacked and maimed the SOB, just using its bare wheels?
