And you know what? I mean, I wouldn't do it if I were you. I wouldn't do it. Okay? I did nothing wrong. This suspect, Alan Bluehouse, was federally indicted by a grand jury on charges of failure to comply and grand theft of [music] a motor vehicle. He ultimately pleaded guilty to both charges and was sentenced to inpatient care at a mental hospital. When a cop uses the bumper on the vehicle to stop someone from running, that's not anger and it's not a mistake. That's called a pit maneuver. It's done for one reason, to end the danger fast. And in this case, that danger wasn't a car. It was a golf cart being driven like it belonged on a highway. In this clip, the officer used his car to block the escape, taking away the suspect's mobility before that car cross paths with the wrong person. That decision comes from training drilled in long before the sirens ever get turned on. In Ohio, departments like the Vena Police Department, they are legally required to have written pursuit policies and to train officers on exactly when tactics like this are allowed. The law states each law enforcement entity shall adopt a written policy for the pursuit in a motor vehicle. An officer shall be trained on that policy. Sometimes danger doesn't come wild down the road. It creeps along looking harmless until someone gets clipped, run over, or boxed in with no way out. And police don't get to wait for that moment to prove a point. They have to stop it before the whatifs turn into names on the news. A moving threat doesn't need speed to ruin lives, just space and time. And when a cop closes that gap, it's not about ego or force. It's about ending the rest before it picks a victim.
