Quoteyep but :
-we usually avoid the day before the wedding, cause we like our friends to look nice for their weddings (and not like dirty-unshaved-covered-in-puke-or-hooker-perfume)
-where I'm from we also don't really have "strip-club-tradition" in general life, but we can still have lots of fun without going to a strip club
A lot of us Americans here do the bachelor/bachelorette party the day before the wedding for the last hurrah! Some people might do it a week or a month before but most do it the night before. The strip club tradition is common. Not all Americans do the strip club tradition. Some do other things like go to bars or have a joint bachelor/bachelorette party, etc.

QuoteOkay aside from you and Amazon and the other trained killers, assinators or murderers on this forum, the rest of us can't say or shouldn't say what we would do if we were in that particular situation.
Wise ass! What do you know? You're comfortable sitting behind your computer while others are protecting and serving their country!

QuoteI was just busting your balls. NY'ers tend to go a little overboard when it comes to busting balls. That's what we do best!
Yeah, unfortunately there are too many of you ball busters out there in NY that always get into a scuffle and we have to help you when you're getting your ass kicked. I don't know why people just don't things fly over their head and go on with their life. This is NY. Someone will always have something bad to say to you that's demeaning or insulting. To me, it's just words.....

I think the vehicle still wins!!
In this real world example, no cops were run over, but two guys were shot.

QuoteQuoteI've seen video of cops jumping in front of fleeing cars to stop them then using deadly force when the cars didn't stop or moved slightly from stationary, or gunned the engine out of gear. Basically the police tried to create a pretext for shooting a suspect.
Or maybe the police got caught up in trying to "serve and protect"? Ever been driving and had to stop short? Did you throw your arm up to protect the passenger from the dash (Maybe to cop a feel on a hottie)? That is an automatic reaction, your arm would not really do anything in a crash, but you do it anyway.
The cops might step in front of a car since that is where the best shot (not safest for them) can be taken. The target is moving at you so you don't have to lead and it is getting bigger so you don't have to rush the shot. Also, the chance of a miss flying through the car and hitting someone is less.
Point is that people often make automatic moves to do what they think is right. You amy think they stepped in front so they can claim they were in danger (possible, but stupid to do). While I would think they just got caught up and tried to stop the suspect.
There is something deeply troubling about an officer placing himself in front of a vehicle and then killing the driver for presenting a risk to the officer. I've seen this happen where the driver was edging forward slowly and the officer was intentionally hovering on the corner of the vehicle where he moved to place himself. In many countries that would be called cold blooded murder. Should you get away with calling a car a deadly weapon then CHOOSE to place yourself in front of it and shoot the unarmed driver as a consequence?
These policies sound good when presented in black and white but reality is not, it is so subject to abuse and the training & implementation is inadequate and troubling.
Sure I can. The driver should not have run into police cars and the police should not have shot and killed an unarmed man. Quarterbacks should also not throw interceptions. The fact that I'm not a quarterback, a cop, or someone being shot at by a cop doesn't make me incapable of understanding the shoulds and shouldn'ts of a particular situation. Unfortunately I don't have enough information on this specific incident to say exactly who was in the wrong. If nothing else though, the shots that went astray were "wrong", and it was fortunate that nobody was hit by them.
