If he got approval to perform the pit maneuver then technically he didn’t violate any rules
Just following orders is not a defense.

She should have just pulled over. Interstate was dead and even with a reduced shoulder the cop would be behind her with lights on, drivers are supposed to move over. Cop doesn’t know her intent he just sees a speeding driver keep driving with flashers on.
People have been brainwashed so bad that they don’t fully comprehend how eroded our freedom has become. Cops don’t have a right to wreck into you bc you MIGHT have bad intentions. Again, this stems from the root of the problem that cops are trained to view every citizen they interact with as a threat.

believe the overall majority of LE would agree with you and found a better way to handle that situation.
Yet he is still on the job and wasn’t even reprimanded.... This is why many now realize that bad apples spoil the whole bunch.

People say that but the fact is that the state police protected this officer and he never lost his job.

That cop needs to be in jail for the next decade.

You are citing one case and you believe most departments would handle this kind of discipline the same way? Give us some examples under the same circumstances as this incident and figures to support your claim.
Key words here are "majority of LE".
eta: I do think the lack of punishment to this officer is concerning.

It's hard to hijack a stupid thread with even greater stupidity but Deltaland is doing that and doing so with few words. THAT'S impressive stupidity.

Examples of police departments taking no action until public outcry are everywhere.

Have you not been paying attn to the thousands of videos made public years after cops were caught committing crimes and abusing their authority who were still on the force? The fact is most never get reprimanded unless the public goes apeshit demanding it.

No doubt it happens, but to say the most departments would not have handed out punishments for this kind of action is based on opinions and not facts.

What you are overlooking is this particular incident. Yes, I do agree there are lots things going on that need to be addressed. That point is obvious. But to say majority of departments condone the actions in THIS incident is foolish.

You're making assumptions the same that I am.
Sure, maybe 51% of departments would punish the officer, but don't act like it's 98%
The fact that the public have to even question what percentage would be is a sign of a larger problem.
I also think you are underestimating the power of police unions. And ftr, 2 weeks paid admin leave is not a punishment...

BS... It’s actually the norm to see the thin blue line keep a veil of secrecy to hide the abuse by officers and considered rare for cops to be fired, demoted, and especially arrested for abusing their power.
And thousands more than this can be cited.
Keller, TX — In one of the most blatant attacks on the first amendment, a power tripping cop arrested a completely innocent man for allegedly “making a wide right turn.” This power tripping cop then called for backup and he and his backup then attacked, pepper sprayed, and beat that man’s dad for filming the unlawful arrest. The video evidence against the officers was so compelling that a lawsuit against the city was settled for a whopping $200,000 less than 6 months after the incident.
Though the lawsuit was settled swiftly, it took the city of Keller, Texas nearly a year to charged the officer involved. Finally, 9 months after his disgraceful abuse of authority was captured on video, ex-Keller Police Sgt. Blake Shimanek was indicted on a charge of official oppression — a misdemeanor. If convicted, he faces up to a year in jail.
The arrest came after months of the community and activists demanding accountability, and finally, that accountability has come.

The law: You can't speed...that's dangerous to motorist
Also the law: aight...think it's time I slam this motorist into a concrete wall to protect and serve his arse

No, it’s foolish and naive to think other depts would’ve taken action against the trooper bc this is now a national trend.
