remember the slow speed chase in Ft Worth? Two FWPD officers now in trouble..

[jerp]

During that slow speed chase which was followed on a long live thread - a lot of us kept thinking "why don't they just do a PIT maneuver? Some of the LEOs around here informed us that most departments don't allow PIT maneuvers. About that time we saw a SWAT vehicle swoop in and end the chase by doing a PIT maneuver. Apparently FWPD is one of those departments that prohibits using that technique - the driver is now off the SWAT team and another got his badge and gun taken for butt-stroking the perp with his weapon.

oops...

[Bowshark]

They can't catch a break!

[BETTERLUCKYTHANGOOD]

They need to give the police/swat a break, what are they suppose to do wait till he kills someone? Then the public would say "The police should have done something sooner"

Friggin Political Correct stuff and treating criminals with Warm Fuzzy stuff is total BS

Good grief.

This is what it's coming to with all of our upside down and backwards PC thinking these days. Good guys are bad. Bad guys are good.

What a deal.

I thought it was a pretty good buttstroke myself...

No joke, everyone is more concerned about a lawsuit these days than public safety. There are plenty of departments that dont engage in chases at all.

Nailed it.

Pretty much getting to be the norm now. No matter what an officer does they went too far, or they've done too little.

Are they raising our officer's pay yet? It sure is obvious their job is getting tougher everyday. Seems like they should be compensated for that added pressure.

Sad day in America!

Maybe the SWAT officer can go to work in the armory until he can join up with a new SWAT team filled with characters and ultimately find redemption.

This world is going to PC ****sville....

[topduarte]

Wussification of America has been here for awhile. I am not surprised. It is a shame.

[ghostgoblin22]

i bet they wont be out of the job very long

[Swampa]

That's BS. Why would anyone want to be a cop if you work in fear of being sued or losing your job everyday
