He ran away from the cops with that license plate and didn’t think they wouldn’t find him? The handicap tag in the car means he’s regarded.

I like how wmur tries to sugar coat things. "The officer shot at the car" he'll no!, that knucklehead pulled a gun on the cop, the cop was shooting at the perp, not the car. He was protecting his life.

This is a clean shooting. That guy was recklessly endangering many people. It will probably turn out the guy is mentally ill, but how is the cop to know this.

At first glance it seems like an attempted suicide by cop, or the guy’s just a fucking idiot.

He did get away, should have stayed away, LOL Then claim he loaned out his car, it was taken by unauthorized person, he didn't realize until the next day, etc. But no.... he kept trying to get caught, and did, LOL

I’m not even mad at them for this. Little punk pointed a “gun” at them. He was asking for it.
