What is an officer to do in a situation like this, can only think the Volvo guy was high on something.

So difficult situation, and the Monday morning quarterbacks will have a field day. Solo officer on the side of the road trying to keep the situation calm. I hate to be too critical buy I likely would've escalated to cuffs/taser sooner as it was pretty clear the guy wasn't going to become more cooperative after the first minute or so.

Fargo ND officer was shot and killed few days ago and they are escorting him through my town tomorrow morning on the way to my hometown for his funeral. Unfortunately I will be heading out of town for the funeral, but I'll be able to catch his escort in the morning. Far too young, just swore into the Fargo PD in April. I learned he is the first cousin of a good friend of mine. He was also with the Field Artillery unit that deployed with me this last go around and I recall seeing his name and wondering if he was related to my buddy.

I can already feel the waterworks and I didn't even know him. It doesn't seem to matter if I know them or not, anytime a service member, officer, first responder... any selfless service member passes it always causes it to rain down my face.

Damn! It saddens me each and every time I hear about somebody dying in the line of duty.

I've been to too many police funerals, I can't handle hearing Amazing Grace on the Bag Pipes.

RIP Brother.

Sometimes shit just goes sideways. I feel bad for the driver of the car that hit the guy and I hope the copper doesn't have a rough ride because of the outcome.

Could be both I guess.

On one hand theres always a part of society that will only look for the negative. Doesn't matter what it is.

But on the other hand someone might see these and get inspired to pursue a law enforcement career

My initial impression is lack of diversity combined with testosterone poisoning in some of the pictures, and not someone that I personally would approach for help.....

Or they could be a boy band. The sad reality is there is no winning this as there will always be critics of the police.

What do our resident LE folks think of this vehicle? Would you trade what you had/what you have for this?

Range is pretty irrelevant when the car is sitting with all the electronics running. Range should be changed to hours of operation, which probably isn't many.

It would be cool in an idealistic world. The reality is on a busy department, the vehicles run all day long and aren’t shut off at all during the shift (because the electronics need to run constantly). It is my opinion that an EV cannot handle the tasks. I see how we run our line vehicles and an EV wouldn’t last more than a couple of hours. We run the A/C all shift unless it’s cold at night, which then transitions to running the heater all night. When my shift is over, my partner takes the car for his shift. If I work a 16 hour shift and then my partner grabs the car and works a 10-16 hour shift, only for me to come back to work and take the car again, how on earth is an EV supposed ro handle that kind of abuse?!?!

See, this is why the public has such issues with PDs: you can't think OUTSIDE the box.

Get TWO EVs, saving twice the resources

Could you translate what he says right after he's been handcuffed? "I'm going to sit five years for a banger, I'm going to sit down for that banger, your trippin?"

Why does he keep repeating that or is he just insane?

On last Friday's episode of "On Patrol Live" (reboot of Live PD), there were more than the normal number of drivers who pulled over on the left shoulder...or even worse in the center turn "suicide" lane. Only one officer made the stopped car move to the right shoulder, and I was thinking all along that something bad was going to happen on "live" camera. Sure enough, a car swerved into the suicide lane, and the officer had to jump out of the way to avoid being run over.

My question is whether these officers are becoming careless because of the camera crew in tow, and why they can't/don't write them tickets for endangering the officers by not pulling over on the right shoulder?????

It could be just how they do things in that state/county/city. We aren’t all trained the same way (…e.g….approaching from the passenger side versus the driver side, not detaining in the back seat during a vehicle search, etc.). Some things I’ve seen make me cringe, but thousands of agencies do things thousands of ways.
