@Allen Kennedy why were you speeding towards them to begin with?
I saw no reason as to why the suspect would be armed, as he'd just been revived on a somewhat secured scene, so I followed the officer, with the plan being to position myself in an opportune location somewhere around swooper road or puffer street and report what exit out of suburbs he took.
My immediate assumption was that he'd take advantage of his car's superior speed and handling and make his escape somewhere, as opposed to going straight to suburbs storage and racing against the clock to make a stand. He didn't do this, which in my opinion is kind of silly. If I wasn't armed and I was being pursued, I'd focus on getting away in my far superior vehicle, as opposed to going to suburbs storage and risking my own life by making a stand. I'm curious as to why Deshawn didn't do this, as it would have been a far less risky thing to do. In fact, I'd argue that had he decided to flee from suburbs in the tesla, he would've certainly escaped to business or city and had ample opportunity to rearm and prepare. Instead he stopped almost immediately and left himself mere seconds to arm himself at storage. I mean, he took out a mossberg shotgun, who takes out a mossberg instead of any other kind of rifle or submachinegun? That in my mind just proves that he clicked on the first weapon he saw in his storage.
I didn't go to swooper road or puffer street and instead continued on, as the officer reported he had the suspect, and I wanted to witness the apprehension of the seemingly unarmed suspect, and laugh at his misfortune. The fact that he was armed was merely a consequence of his bad decision making, deciding to make a stand with limited time to prepare instead of fleeing, which in my mind was a very risky play, especially when escape would've been almost guaranteed otherwise.
Once it became clear he was armed, it's quite clear from the video that I slowed down, but immediately realised that running him over would be the safest and easiest thing to do, given that the alternative would be swerving to avoid him and crashing into his parked vehicle, or stopping short and likely hitting him anyway or ending up right in his line of fire. I didn't go out of my way to run him over, though I won't deny it was fucking hilarious, and I gloated extensively thereafter.
Truth be told, I'd love to see Deshawn's POV on this, as I can't imagine his decision to arm himself at storage with so little time to prepare would've been a smart idea, considering how easy an escape would've been. In my opinion he deliberately started a shootout that he was ill-prepared for, with no forethought, and ignored the option of a bloodless escape, which would have had practically zero risk. I'd love to hear your thoughts on that.
