This is probably the first cop video recently posted here where I side with the cops.

He clearly is going for the tires in the video. It wasn't wild shooting at the fan.

I don't see it. To me, all he is doing is ducking beneath the rear window to minimize his exposure. Alas, from that angle, that close to the car, how could he possibly see the tires, let alone hit them? Nah, I'm not buying it - although I am certain that it will be spun that way.

In other word, "he is CLEARLY going for the tires" doesn't seem all that clear to me.

Did you like the part when the officer violently broke the passenger side window?

I'm not buying it either.

But you can bet your bottom dollar it will be spun that way.

How do you break a window in a non-violent fashion? Do you use kitten whiskers to slowly etch away the glass?

The teen attacked the cop and the cop was trying to arrest the thug. Yes, I agree with breaking the window. Don't agree with shooting.

You cannot see thoes tires from the rear? Really?

To the OP, they were both wrong, however, if the mother would not have FLED the scene (the first time) and then the son ATTACK the cop (the second time) she would not be in that situation, now would they...

And...........ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh look:

The Taos News reports that State Police claim they found two marijuana pipes in the minivan.

If, I said "if" all the bullets hit the bumper and pavement, what would be your reaction?

Anybody know where the bullets hit? It sure looks like the back window was fully intact.

And you are not trying to spin it in your direction?

I know cops are not the best shots, but is was very clear, that he was not shooting at the bulk of the van....
