Somebody should have stopped him from watching all of those TJ Hooker
re-runs.

I wonder how he carried his gun on the bike. I bet his helmet saved
his life. Maybe he could have used som ammonia to spray on the driver,
though .....


Yeah, it could have burned through the windscreen and reasoned with the
driver to stop...

Probably in a holster.

The cop should be commended for doing exactly what was done.

Dude! That is so funny and so true. That was like every episode of TJ
Hooker, wasn't it. Capt. Kirk hanging onto the hood of a car.

I'm glad *somebody* got the reference. Thought I was the only person here
who's ever watched T J Hooker. (not that it's worth watching...)

Yeah, Shatner was clinging to the hood of a car in the intro sequence for
every show. It's hilarious stuff. Didn't SNL do a parody of it? I'm
almost sure they did; but not up on my SNL history these days.

That's a pretty quick judgement. Maybe you didn't
read the article?

"Officials said the officer was trying to question
Brown Tuesday afternoon when Brown tried to drive away. It's unclear why
the officer stopped Brown or how the
officer ended up on the hood of the car."

How do you know the officer didn't stop the car
due to bicycle-endangering driving, and then the
car driver didn't attempt to run over the cop?

That second part is the only way I can imagine
the cop ending up on the hood of the car.

I'm sure the cop would have preferred for
nobody to get hurt.

Police and thieves in the streets -- scaring the nation with their guns
and
ammunition.

I'd just as soon have nothing to do with either of them.

Cops should use their weapons wherever needed to apprehend
a criminal who is already placing everyone at risk.

Given that there are armed thieves, I'm glad that there are armed cops.
