rant post incoming, anyone that wants to stay positive please don't read.
So it caught my attention that a few people have been banned for ramming into things (as police) to stop armed criminals (!). The ban reasons claim that hitting a car or a wall at 60mph would kill the officers inside. Now I have some problems with this. I have this video from real life here that shows a similar situation to what an officer would've been in.
Now, as you can see, here an officer rams his crown Vic into an armed suspect, hitting a brick wall (just like the one in subs park) in the end, I'd say that was about 40mph. The suspect is killed, treat neutralized, the officer needs to be taken to hospital but is alive and well, without serious injury. This is the first part of why I think bans shouldn't be handed out for this.
Here's the second part.
On my experience in the PLPD, probably 10 times within the last half of the year I've seen suspects that fled from police hit an object or a car at 70+mph, restart their engine and keep going.
One important situation was when we were chasing a car the driver of which was aiding and abetting, I set up a roadblock at the city bridge. The car comes onto the bridge plowing through my charger, the only thing that stopped him was that the front of the car got in the air and was sitting on the roof of my charger. He then gets out as if nothing happens, pulls out a gun and tries to shoot us, we shoot him down. When I informed a staff member (I think he witnessed it) about it he did nothing.
So why should police officers be punished and civilians stay free? Why should we be punished for something that could be done in real life?
EDIT: what I think could be done to prevent such bans is adjusting the speed at which it knocks you unconscious after a hit and remove the rule whatsoever
