        You know what’s also a nightmare in a big city? A fucking high speed chase. Small problems (that don’t apply in this situation anyway) do not negate potential solutions. No solution is perfect. Obviously it doesn’t work in a fucking city. No one claimed it would. Stop making up issues that aren’t being discussed.

          Good thing the used their doodad to bring this to a stop quickly then, before it could develop into something dangerous.

            They developed it into something dangerous. The driver was probably driving reasonably safely (there is no perfectly safe way to drive) before the cops showed up.

                I’m glad you think so! I would feel ashamed if you agreed with me that police shouldn’t put others in unnecessary danger. I’m sure it’s hard for you to think something like that with how rotten your brain has become from the boot polish.

                Edit: hold up. I just looked and you’re both the person that said drones don’t work in a city, so we can’t use that, and cameras aren’t om back roads, so we can’t use that. First, this situation is neither. Second, they perfectly cover each other in your arguments. I know, you weren’t making arguments to be logically consistent; only to win am argument. I still want to point it out though. You’re ridiculous. At least put some effort in!

                  Don’t forget having a multimillion dollar helicopter on standby within a short flight of anywhere, that’s also a great idea considering the size of the USA.

                  Also, drones can’t typically be flown when other air traffic is nearby, which doesn’t just happen in the city. Light aircraft are everywhere.

                    Police can take control of an airspace when needed, and there are very few places where having a drone is an issue. You just need the right licensing for it. Yeah, a regular untrained civilian can’t fly a drone where other aircraft are, but someone with the proper qualifications and licensing with the FAA can.

                    (My brother worked for a drone company that did inspections of structures, many in places like Las Vegas or other large cities. Yes, you can fly drones in a large city with the proper qualifications.)
