re: Who’s in the wrong? Police cruiser vs. ATV

I am against police chases except in circumstances of immediate danger.

We've had cops kill innocent people b/c they were chasing a shoplifter, we've had cops hit an innocent family and kill the father b/c they were a chasing a car thief.
Those chases were unnecessary, and were ridiculous.

In this case, we had an idiot who clearly was posing an immediate threat to other people on the jogging path. He also was unable to drive worth a shite, as the cop left him enough room to stop or go around. Given his piss-poor abilities it is very likely he would've hit someone up the path.

The cop was obviously hoping he would stop, or go around, as no one likes taking a chance on getting injured in a wreck.

The officer did exactly the right thing.
