  • Sorry not sorry, but everyone on here saying that its absolutely fine for police to use their cars to ram mopeds needs to GTFO.

    It promotes high speed, high stakes risk taking and inevitably ends in pre-judicial killings. How long before mission creep enables the police to use their vehicles disproportionally against other vulnerable road users like cyclists.

    Moped crime is horrible. Sanctioned police brutality is not the answer.

    edit: ACAB

  • Sanctioned police brutality

    But it isn't that.

    It is a procedure used by trained drivers in very specific circumstances- I assume that the speed of car and moped, surrounding factors like other cars and peds etc are taken into account when deploying the tactic.

    Still, ACAB so what can you do?

  • I'd argue what you've just described is sanctioned police procedure that can and likely will be used incorrectly at some point, in a brutal and disproportionate way.
