Steve McQueen, pshaw, Paul Newman would actually own any one of us on the track.
Steve McQueen was not in the Dirty Dozen. He was in The Great Escape. Jake is around 94 i think now. He is an awesome guy and I have got to sit down and talk with him a handful of times. I did a interview with him for a report on him during my senior year. It was awesome. He had lots of stories and was a funny guy. Him and my Grandpa are like 2 peas in a pod. Gonna miss them both when they go. My autographed copy of his filthy thirteen book is going in the ground with me.
Seriously? Just a little over reaction there, dont you think..
I actually think if they authorized deadly force for attempting to evade police, we'd end up with a whole lot less incidents of it after a few people get it.
The way I see, when you attempt to evade on a public street with a multi-thousand-pound vehicle at high rates of speed, you're utilizing deadly force without due regard for the safety of your fellow citizens.
I don't know, as I don't know how much it was utilized. Not to mention that the case you cited was a suspect running on foot from police... not exactly an imminent threat to the public at large at the time.
You know that the case had an impact on more people that just the parties of Tennessee and Garner, right?
But yet we are entertained by Smokey and the Bandit and Cannonball Run...
Want me to examine that?

I actually doubt the cop had near enough time to see his plate. Especially since he was at a standstill when the guy drove by.
Depending on how fast the guy was going WHEN he got busted, the cop may have just figured he lost him.

Actually, I'm not a follower of Tennessee case law. Your point is?
