I like this
Maybe next time they should just ram the vehicle? How would that go over on the news?

Just run over all of it. A few blades and maybe a few spindles will be a hell of a lot cheaper than a powered lift deck mower. They are $25k+ machines. You can tear up a lot of decks on a residential $5k mower for that much money. The top of the line ferris with that feature has an MSRP of $40k :ahh:

The John deere I used had a power lift deck and it was either up or down, no in between. You could pop the lever in and out to kinda float the deck a little but it was not how it is meant to be used. Its just there because the deck is so damn heavy. I dont think thats the solution to your problem. Shave all them roots down before you get old and then just keep on running over them with a regular mower.
The basic model was free when I got mine, not all that long afo

This is an interesting take and not completely off base.

Trump lashing out is kinda not the right way to go about it, IMO. It's a problem, but the government created the problem. Until they (the government) fix their current bad habits, it isn't going to actually fix anything.

Tim Walz is a clown. But I assure you he is hoping this takes heat off of him and the fraud accusations. Count on it.


He's going to jump in the spotlight and do his best to draw and quarter this agent in town square on national TV while screaming that trump caused this.

Basically, he's gonna say all the crap mmmmbeer has said. This is like the democratic mayor super bowl trophy. It doesn't get any better than this for someone like waltz. Now he's got a martyr to get the heat off himself and kick and scream on CNN for Trump's head on a pike.
quote:

that was a quick draw from the ICE agent


Yep. That was really quick.
His lashing out is somewhat understandable. See: F35, Zumwalt, every other major procurement program in the last 20 years. Pentagon Wars. Military procurement is a mess and that's why you see companies like Saronic on the moonshot right now.

It's also the government's fault that we are here, and this problem could be rectified by the government without taking any direct action like this. Fix your procurement process and this gets better. The companies either figure out how to win and deliver or cease to exist. When your RFQ's and specs are written in such a manner that nobody except the Lockheed's and Raytheons of the world could afford to pull them off, this is what you get. Monopoly on major procurement, and shite that costs 9x what it was supposed to cost, has half the capability it was supposed to have, and delivers 5 years after it was supposed to.
quote:

think he was tired of her shite and when she hit the gas with him in the way, he ended the situation. I am sure that he did feel threatened. Cops are in threatening situations every day and most are more deadly than this libtard trying to get away from a stop.


From what I could tell, he was about at the driver side headlight when she stomped the gas and he was really close to being run over. That's not normal every day threatening. You are downplaying the danger that officer was in for that split second. It's not much different than being shot at and narrowly missed, which definitely does not happen to an officer every day.

Now you could maybe argue it was stupid to be in that position in the first place, but he did need to try to detain her somehow and she was clearly a risk to go. As I said earlier, the crowds and the officer's body language indicated there was some shite with her leading up to this.

people on here pooh-poohed when I said I thought we'd be in a shooting civil war inside of a decade. Maybe 5 years...


wtf

What danger was she posing?


Are you stupid or trolling or both? It's not clear to me at the moment.
quote:

Or shoot the tires...but that's expecting our law enforcement to be thoroughly trained, which isn't a reality in America.


Look here, you and sicboy both.

You are both either retarded or trolls or both. You have no idea about anything to do with self defense, guns, law enforcement, or really anything at all to do with the situation as it played out. You understand the emotions involved (maybe) at the most. Once people start saying stupid shite like shoot the tires, or don't shoot them so many times, etc, their credibility on the subject is 0.0 for the remainder of the conversation.

That officer was very much in danger for a split second and had a split second to act. You don't shoot tires. That doesn't work like movies. You don't shoot once. That doesn't work like movies. You DEFINITELY do not shoot through glass once with a handgun. Was it the optimal course of action in hindsight? Maybe. Maybe not. It doesn't matter. He was very much within his rights to do what he did. Should he have been in front of the vehicle on foot? No, probably not. That was his mistake. Shooting her once she stomped the gas was not.

If the stupid arse lady would have put the vehicle in park, she'd still be alive to fight her social justice crusade another day.
Ah well frick I guess he should just let her go.
Sure looks like she hit him to me.

Regardless, it doesn't matter. She stomped on the gas with agents telling her to exit the vehicle, including one in front of it.
quote:

his is so borderline that people are going to see what they want to see. It's not cut and dry in either direction.


Correct.

When 3 armed officers are close and demanding you exit the vehicle when a lot of bullshite has clearly already taken place, the best course of action is not stomping on the gas. The guy that got out the passenger side of the truck looked to have had enough bullshite for one day at that point.

Regardless, it's a clean shoot. A vehicle clearly counts as a deadly weapon and doing stupid shite with deadly weapons sometimes has deadly consequences.
quote:

Yeah it looked like there was an agent in front of her vehicle or near it anyways. Law enforcement isn’t going to risk that.


The behavior of the officers in the truck and the crowd presence seems to indicate there was a good bit of bullshite leading up to this.
