dbj getting trolled so hard.

So if a zoned out LirvA staggers in front of your car as you're attempting to leave a parking spot, stopping to say "Hey *******, GTFO of my way" before driving over his foot is "total submissive compliance" to LirvA.

Cool.

You're getting trolled, like Ikes said.

I'm always getting trolled.

I cannot fathom someone who rarely makes spelling errors could possibly be that dumb.

Still I feel the need to continue to correct basic logical flaws whenever possible.

I don't think I'm trolling him. I'm 100% serious, dbl's got his jimmies all rustled because a cop (maybe) got hurt and there's someone who doesn't want THE WHOLE WORLD to stop and throw THE ENTIRE BOOK at the guy who did it.

It's absolutely ******ed to say a guy who is visibly turning his wheels away from the cop was purposefully trying to run over the guy. And saying that doesn't mean I think he's cool or not a douchebag or that he shouldn't have any consequences or that he's not legally liable or whatever the hell dbl is trying to imply it means.

oh so if the guy would have just said "I'm about to move this car" first then your jimmies wouldn't have been rustled?

That kind of makes a difference.

I wonder what a reasonable man would do if he were standing in front of a car that was about to move forward and possibly hit him.

Pull out his gun and shoot the person in his way of course.

Since the driver did it without warning, guess we'll never know.

i would be willing to let this guy off the hook if it sets precedent that gives me free reign to drive over pedestrians and cyclists because they were in front of me and didnt know to gtfo

Yeah I mean no warning at all. One second he's on the sidewalk and then WHAM car on top of the cop's toe. If only he had done something in between, such as get in the car or turn on the engine or inch it forward a couple of times...

how furious would people be if someone was trying to talk to a cop while he was in his patrol car, then stepped slightly in front of it and the cop ran him over.

I don't know that I'd be willing to let it go, but it is a pretty interesting precedent that you could just run over anyone in your path without warning.

What kind of ****ed up world do you live in where if you're finishing something up, like say loading groceries in your car, a car starts behind you, and you feel obligated to move rather than assuming the guy will sit there and wait rather than you know, just driving over the top of you?

Pretty sure pvn and I and others do not trust drivers enough to stand near a car that is in drive.

I'm pretty much in agreement with dkgo here.

Flip the scenario, let some cop run over someone without warning and get the full force of team ****DAPOPO

God this is funny. The cop was looking at the guy, he was looking at the car, he knew it was moving, and he choose not to get his dumb ass out of the way. Dbl @ least admit the cop was ******ed for putting himself in that position. JFC he may not have been legally obligated to get out of the way of a machine that can maim him, but the fact that he didn't with so much warning leads me to believe he'll be up for a Darwin award within a few years.

I would still think it was a poor life choice of the person who walked in front of a car that is turned on. But then again I don't always get butthurt by cops.

so if a cop drove over someone in the exact same manner you would say "lol move you idiot" instead of raging against the police?

You don't use cross walks?

umm...yeah. How is that even a question?

will, Paul, I think it's time we all sat back and pondered the question "Who's really trolling who?"

As to the specifics, and my actual argument, the cop can clearly be heard saying "Stop! Stop!" prior to being run over.

At that point, I believe that's a lawful detention, thus the charges related to that.

Furthermore, his actions to escape lawful detention resulted in this officer being run over. That's assault, etc.

The hinge of all of this rests on whether he had the authority to detain him in this instance. I'm assuming he does.

Any mental masturbation over how inappropriate that is isn't of concern to me.

This is bull****. If some cop ran over someone without any horn/siren/verbal statements etc you'd be confirmed furious.

Even if it happened with all the lights on, sirens wailing and the cop on the PA shouting "GET OUT OF THE WAY!!!!" I bet you'd still be ****ing livid.

I really don't give a damn whether or not he had the legally authority to detain the douche in the Ferrari. I've already said the douchebag is guilty. However, the cop knowing and willingly stood in the path of a moving vehicle, he's an idiot who got run over by a car primarily because he's an idiot.

fu and your opinions. If a cop was inching his car forward and was actively turning to get around a moron, and that moron positioned himself so that he got ran over by a car going 1/10th mph then I'd be laughing my ass off at the moron. I'd also say the cop was guilty of running over the pedestrian.

You, OTOH would be crying about how there's likely more to the story and the cop shouldn't be charged with anything.
