Friday morning at around 1:30am, officers in Coatesville City shot at a vehicle that attempted to run them over. The incident occurred in the area of Chester Ave and Merchant Street, an area known for its drug and violent activity. Chester County District Attorney Joe Carroll and his investigators have determined that the use or force was justified, although the investigation is ongoing.
The names of the officers have not yet been released. As a fellow law enforcement officer, I am happy to know that the officers are ok.

Why is it that you never see cops shoot at vehicles when they are chasing people that failed to stop or when they attempted to run over cops, while being recorded live on the news? A 4 hour chase when you could just shoot them and end it? Coatesville police must be special!
ReplyDeleteFor the most part, Cops can't use lethal force unless the threat is severe enough immediate. A topic for another blog!
