Such an embarassment…..the USA where cops shoot you without being armed, without immediately threatening their lives, and no proof of being armed.
Dude would have been the only sheriff at all if this was a old west with an aim like that
Well that escalated quickly.
That older officer was just as surprised as the suspect it would seem.
Am I the only one that thinks this is a bad shooting? Bad guy, but bad shooting.
Justified
Nice shooting bud ðŸ‘.
I wondered what the suspect had done for the cops to be so aggressive – after reading the description, I'm mostly surprised they didn't just shoot him when he was stuck in traffic.
This isn't the wild west. They were fleeing on a bike and not posing a threat. Sue the police department and strip the officer of his badge.
Good shot while the other officer in line with the suspect is wondering what he is doing here!!!!!!!!!??????? Did not fire one shot. Not impressed at all.
Lucky nobody in those homes got shot with him firing that far away towards homes
Their strategy to stop a vehicle needs to be revised. So obvious that the suspect has a clear way out. By God, JUST DO IT! With his rap sheet and you make it easy to get away? Smell the coffee.
The cop that shot was a coward. Totally unjustified at that point. The first cop was respectable. Highly doubt they're the same dude.
Thought shooting at him was a little excessive at first, but reading some of the background information on this guy, I could see the need to get him stopped. An absolute fucking menace.
Just the ending that was getting even more interesting did not appear, what a pity!
Pathetic excuse for a law enforcer, dummy forget that using excessive and unnecessary force is against that law 😂
Anyone else see the other cop’s face like “why you shootin, bro?†😅
Fleeing felons can be shot.
To think fleeing on a motorcycle after a car chase is the smart thing to do…no giving up and surrending is.
wasnt the officer allowed to shoot him, at the point he run over his foot and tried to run him over ? Isnt that like "Assault with a Deadly Weapon" in this term the car ?
He thought he could get away on his scooter but ole boy capped his ass
