Scott v. Harris (Car 2)

[PeterH505]

@ChattanoogaKnight Bleh wrote a long response letting you know in more precise ways just how ironic it is for a police sympathizing, ignorant redneck fuck like you to try to call someone else stupid while struggling with basic words. Suffice it to say, you're an idiot, the truth hurts, and never try to sound smarter than anyone else again. Kthx.

You chose to run and you might die. No sympathy here. This idiot will remember it for the rest of his life as he wheels around in his wheel chair.

[ChattanoogaKnight]

@9e2112 Too bad more people are not as intelligent as you and I..... People forget that if he would have just pulled over, none of this would have happened.

I dont know what video you all were watching, but #1 the officer was saying since the perp hit my vehicle and it already has damage let me take the lead so if he break checks me or when I pit him, it will not damage a second so car.#2 in Georgia if the perp has commited a felony, we can chase him until the wheels fall off unless advised by a supervisor or state patrol to back off. #3

[ChattanoogaKnight]

@GA184 LOL, ya and in Georgia, they shoot your ass! LOL, wish the rest of the country would follow suit.

Peace Officers need to work on "keeping the Peace" and stop allowing themselves to be USED as THUGS by the New World Order who will eventually spit them out!

[justicefx]

The Cop paralyzed another man over a traffic violation. That's why Cops should get SUED PERSONALLY when they use "excessive force". I hope this haunts the policy enforcer (police) forever. What a shitty job - to have to PREY on people for a paycheck.

[hardcider09]

A car is a DEADLY WEAPON. It's tons of metal moving at high speed. The "traffic violation" you speak of more dangerous than shooting bullets in the air in that neighborhood. Why should we have sympathy over the plight of someone who needlessly threatened the lives of innocents around him?

[ChattanoogaKnight]

@hardcider09 right on

[ChattanoogaKnight]

@justicefx your a dip shit.so what your saying is they should let assholes like this run free and do as they please?remember that the next time one of these fucks takes off, the cops stop following him, for his safety of course, and the next week he kidnaps your family and burns your house down. You'd be the first to ask 'where were the police?! why didnt they get this guy?!'How stupid are you? How do not put the blame on that dumbass for running and not the police that protect u?

[WarGamezzz]

The first driver was very safe. This cop was lucky he didn't get himself in an accident, he was taking some shitty risks when he had no need to.

[samd0001]

I am not saying this case is crystal clear, just that the video is subject to interpretation and should not have been dismissed on summary judgment. The District Court thought the facts were not so "blatantly" clear. The Court of Appeals agreed. Notwithstanding your own view, don't you think reasonable minds could differ?

[random2310]

You are absolutely right. Just covered this in CivPro. Class was split in half in agreement with the majority opinion.

[samd0001]

The officer's request, "Let me at him" speaks volumes. Harris just nicked his car. He was pissed. He should not have been allowed to take the lead. Most police departments forbid it. And all police departments forbid ramming a car off the road into trees at high speed. The officer made this boy a quadriplegic.

No pedestrians and a mostly deserted road. The police seem to be doing most of the reckless maneuvers.

In which Hollywood chase does the speeder signal before changing lanes?

[Dranu86]

@Samd0001

"Let me at him" speaks volume, for right after his said "my car is already torn up", it was quite logical to let him take the lead. I didn't sense any 'pissed'ness in his voice, it was calm and cool (and even under these circumstances!)

[ChattanoogaKnight]

@samd0001 your retarded. so its ok to let him continue running and put even more officers at risk due to his stupidity? What then? let him run and God forbid he hits your family? then youd be the first to yell, 'where were the police and why didnt they pursue/stop this guy?!' that guys a quadriplegic through is own stupidity. You forget, if he would have pulled over in the first place, he'd be walking today.

[PeterH505]

@ChattanoogaKnight any time YOU'RE going to call someone retarded make sure "YOU'RE" not making a mistake as to a most basic word. Also, some punctuation is nice when trying to look superior to others.

[ChattanoogaKnight]

@PeterH505 LOL, thats funny numb nuts. Because EVERYONE on the internet is concerned with grammar and punctuation.... No one gives a shit about it, or you for that matter. My point was made and you drove it home when all you could find wrong with it is my grammar. Get a life dick head.

[oduoes]

Now it is easy to understand the 8 to 1 vote. This is a very telling video.

[JamaicaGR10]

NY,

Would he have been justified to pull alongside Victor Harris' car and shoot him in the head?

The court thinks so, even if that deadly force is applied in such a way that might endanger the public.

What about you?

[oduoes]

If deadly force is necessary and reasonable to stop a fleeing suspect, who is continuing to pose a immediate and immanent threat to the safety of other motorists and police, the answer is stop the car any way you can. The trick to all this that you have to do it in such a way to protect the PUBLIC not the criminal. The rights of the citizen and society to safety come before the rights of the criminal. I would like to say this does have some overlap with Tenn. v Garner.

[nytransguy]

Its unfortunate but Harris got what he deserved. Scott wasn't even trained to do the PIT stop he requested, he only did his job to the best of his ability. There was clearly no violation of Harris's 4th amendment rights. And it is fundamentally different than Tenn. v. Garner. You can see how dangerous it was to other traffic.

[nytransguy]

I commented in hopes of perhaps sparking a debate ;)

[wakesetter151]

this angle makes the other look like crap
