Nice work. I imagine the plan was not so much to hit the guy but to interpose the vehicle in his path, deflect him, or some such thing. A little work on the trap field might instill better "lead" skills on moving targets.

In CA, unless that guy was armed--the officer would likely be charged with an "assault with deadly weapon" in a lot of the urban jurisdictions. How such legal gymnastics would fare in front of jury would be a ****-shoot......but this demonstrates how application of the lessons learned about "lead" on the trap field can pay off in the real world. :-)

Unfortunately the same could easily happen here in Michigan. Use of the vehicle in this instance could easily be spun by the media as an unauthorized use of deadly force. At that point the prosecuting attorney's office and the courts would be chomping at the bit to get in on the act. Basically, there would be no shortage of individuals in "high places" whose own anti-police predjudices would prevent them from ever believing that the officer didn't run the guy over on purpose.

I bet the next morning that guy felt a little “run down”, “tired” or just completely “exhausted” and you can be sure he ain’t having a “Goodyear”

Obviously a suicide attempt. OOOPSIE!

Not if I'm on the jury. I was on an grand jury that handled a "use of force" incident about 4 years ago. I refused to vote until we talked about it ad nauseum. We no-billed by 1 vote.

Never underestimate the value time.
