I would only see this behavior as excusable IF there were a machine pistol involved. Or a rocket launcher, or a bmx riding down an 80ft tall cliff onto a ramp.
I don’t think the person you’re responding to is trying to suggest otherwise. You can be curious about the context even while accepting that no possible context makes this okay.
I too am curious about what, exactly, set this officer off to escalate to such completely deranged behaviour. Not because I think there’s a justification, just because I want to know exactly what kind of lunacy this is.
Probably just racism. The cop “knew” the pedestrian was a dangerous criminal, he just didn’t have any probable cause. So he had to take matters into his own hands.
Definitely not offended by the downvotes, I appreciate your conclusion.
I have trouble allowing myself to show anger, because it usually doesn’t help at all and I learned it can hurt a lot at a young age.
That said, I don’t think “show the other cheek,” when slapped by cruelty is the answer either. I was just trying to fish for an answer if anyone’s got one. We’ve got methods to enact change here, but it’s been a losing battle against cruelty and greed that’s been lost for all of history.
It’s definitely gotten better. I just wish we could focus the anger into the inlets that would do something here in America. Hold those in power accountable with more than their own corruptible conscious, end corporate campaign funding, have more meaningful conversations where we honestly try to find solutions to problems with transparency.

Rational person: this is unacceptable no matter the context.

Too much chance of hitting someone unrelated. There could have been kids around any of those turns he blindly flew around.
I mean it turned out there was a 50 plus year old house at the end of one of his blind turns which did him in!
Is it an either/or, though? I’ve got both those thoughts at the same time.
As rational as it is to know it’s unacceptable, what IS the context? And how can we have proper distribution of just consequences?
This guy could be the reincarnation of Hitler and this behavior would still be psychotic.

Yeah if one do this the full agency may be like that.
Nothing wrong with being curious about the context. Don’t let the dog pile get you down, too many people want to just hate blindly to feel good.
It’s much better to understand fully why you hate, imo

I’ll keep trying.
