Let me tell you, it will get much worse than this. Much worse.

 I hope this cop gets the book thrown at

he should not be a police officer, thats for sure. I don't think he should 
do any time though. He made a bad call by shooting that guy, but stepping infront
of the car was very brave if you ask me. What if the driver had stolen the car
or was wanted for rape? Would you step infront of that car to stop him? I would have to 
be feeling very lucky if it ever happened to me.

sure he will, he might even run your ass over. Make no mistakes, that was not Bill
Cosby driving that car!! Im sure the driver was a bad person in his own respect, why
else try to evade the federales?

Mabye the whole fucking system should be gone through and re-worked, there 
are VERY serious problems with Law Enforcment in America. Something like fuxed
up priorities??? sheesh. Anyway, until an OFFICIAL LAW ENFORCMENT ENEMA is performed
things can only get worse. So its safe to say it will get much worse....
