We have all wanted to do it.

No, not all of us.

Dear American tax payer, this police officer probably just wasted a lot of your money.

FTFA: “I do not have any other details to provide to you,” said Sergeant Molnar. ”This is a personnel matter and state police does not have further comment on this matter.”

Bullshit. This is a criminal matter. Even though this video is edited it still appears the hit was intentional. Not sure about Virginia but shouldn't that be assault with a deadly weapon or aggravated assault?

If it was the officer that was hit by the car, they'd probably be pressing for even higher charges than assault with a deadly weapon.

Lols, charges? There'd be an officer-involved shooting...

"Wanted" to do it.

Beyond that being an obvious joke, either you've met someone you -even briefly- fantasized bumping, or you don't drive a car.

It doesn't look intentional; it looks like a trooper who should be promoted to driving a desk in the motor pool for the rest of his career and never, ever allowed behind the vehicle of a state vehicle again *promote

Invocations (promote) cannot be called by SFOGuy because SFOGuy is not privileged - sorry.

OK, lets give the unidentified 'officer' the benefit of a doubt and say it was not intentional (although that's incredibly hard to believe when you watch what he does). It was a best gross negligence. He made a fast, illegal U-turn across a double yellow line and over the sidewalk without looking, nearly hitting a second person. When you injure someone during a criminal act (like a clearly illegal U-turn) it's a felony in most states. Why was he not arrested? Why is he STILL not arrested?
If they are still saying that he followed proper procedure, they must be saying they are above the law and not accountable for their actions under any circumstances. And they wonder why people don't trust the police. He and his superiors should be removed from law enforcement permanently, they don't understand it.

I agree that's what should happen, but that's not even what happens to people in California, at least, who are civilians who kill someone with their driving, whether drunk or sober. It most certainly isn't going to happen to a trooper.
It just doesn't happen. It should; it just doesn't.

@newtboy-"It was a best gross negligence"...well burn him to the ground then, the best of 'em deserve less anna bag o' dinner not unlike they feed to their nightly round-ups!
Fuck n' flock cops, they all suck balls by choice.

For it to be a joke it has to be funny first.

I've driven a car both in a regular and in a professional emergency responder capacity and I've not fantasised about me running down a skater or anyone else.

That said, wanting and fantasising are two separate things and they are not interchangeable terms. E.g. you can fantasise about something but not want it to happen. The original poster used the term want.

I'll also add that in my previous job as a paramedic I had to extensively think about people getting hit by cars, so this technically takes me into fantasy land, but I believe this was not what you were talking about, and it certainly wasn't what the original poster was on about.

Your imagination is not everyone else's so don't assume we're all alike.
