Cops are not authorized to convict and punish criminals. I don’t care about their feeeeeelings. They have to have self control or find a new job.

This is what he did just three days before:
“Simone is no stranger to law enforcement. The Worcester Telegram & Gazette reported that he almost rammed a police cruiser in a separate chase three days earlier.
“Court records show that Simone eluded police in Millbury, Massachusetts, who had tried to stop him for an outstanding warrant, by trying to collide with the cruiser before driving onto Interstate 290.”
