"There's No Kill Like an Overkill."

I guess you can't question the effectiveness of the technique, He did stop and get off the bike.

Well,

The dumbass allegadly has a grenade and a helmet on. So you would need to incapitate him so he could not pull the pin on the grenade. Plus he's wearing a helmet so a CNS shot might be out of the question........

"Ah fuck it lets hit him with a car."

Oh, I guess I should watch it with sound to get the full story eh? It's More fun to make up you own words to go with the video:"And here he is, walking out of a restaurant, the roadblock up ahead is a DWI checkpoint. It looks like he is going to run it....... Oh wait, OOOH, doesn't look like he's walking away from that one Bob."

Yes, It's a slow day at work

I like it. Speed, surprise, violence of action, economy of force. No collateral damage. Very SF.

Apparently he was a druggie. Since I personally have no love for druggies, good for the cops.....

No collateral damage????

Dude that bike is history!!!! No even all the kings horses and all the kings men are putting that one back together again.

I must say, I was laughing my ass off. Had I been driving the car I'd had to go to the hospital, I know I would have busted a gut when he slammed into the car....
