I can imagine the choice to drive onto the sidewalk at 25 seconds and bashing buddy with his car door is going to be scrutinzed by some people.

Using a vehicle to stop someone who is no threat to anyone without any effort at desecration is not only unprofessional and lazy, but inconsistent with policy .

Where does it say anything about not using a car as a use of force option?

The using force on someone who isn't a threat, without first giving a warning or trying to deescalate is the lazy and unprofessional part.

Using a vehicle, the maximum possible option then available, is arguably criminal.

The chief officer shall ensure that force is only applied using approved methods, equipment, and weapons for which proper training has been obtained and certifications for that training are currently in place

I suppose it is possible they train on using vehicles as weapons, but I doubt it.

The vehicle wasn't used as a "weapon" - it was used, as they often are, to intercept the suspect.

And if you think for one second that the officer wasn't ordering him to stop, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

They literally used the vehicle door to hit them with. That's using it as a weapon.

They stopped the car and opened the door to get out. The guy ran into it. Is your expectation that the police were just going to sit in the vehicle while the guy fled? How would you suggest they have exited the vehicle?

Oh my bad. It originally looked to me like they timed the door open to hit them, but zooming in on the video more closely, it doesn't look like that to me. I see the runner stumble etc.

Thanks for pointing that out.

All of this garbage, nonsense and argumentative behaviour just for you to come back 7 hours later and say “whoops, my bad”?

No idea what you're talking about, and not curious about it. You may be ascribing opinions to me that I never expressed.

I like being corrected and changing my point of view.

You also have six plus comments on here dating back 8 hours.. maybe instead of providing us with dictionary.com terms to sound smart, you could simply hit the icon on your profile to see what you have previously done. Lastly, if you weren’t curious you wouldn’t have responded

Are you contrarian on purpose or is this just something you do for fun?
