If anyone cares to see the Area 8 match here is a video of my mediocre performance this past Thursday. Managed to get 212 Alphas, 7 Betas, 48 Charlies, 3 Deltas and unfortunately 5 Mikes. At least no procedurals and no no-shoots. Really did for crap on the first stage I shot (which was stage2), those doors did me in. Had a heck of a time on the next to last stage I shot too, which was stage 14. I'll tell you it was a grueling day. Left the house at about 4:30am and did not get home till 8:30pm.

You’re right. It’s totally the pedestrians fault for being pedestrians on a pedestrian-only road. They definitely should have moved to the gravel so that the illegally-driven ATV could safely illegally drive. The reason there was no time to stop is because of the speed of the illegally driven ATV. The legally walking pedestrians were in less danger with the mass of the car in between them and the illegally driven ATV. Sure, he could have set up further back but then the pedestrians would not have been behind him. Hard to protect pedestrians from the ATV when they’re both in front of you. And how do you know his emergency lights were off?

It's physically a 2 lane road where there was plenty of room to avoid the pedestrians. Including the "parent and child" that were literally on the roads edge. The camera is a fisheye, and the ATV was much closer than it looked coming around the curve and there was no time to stop. The cop caused the crash and injury while further endangering pedestrians. This could have been handled differently, without injury. E.g. He could have set up further back and turned his lights and sirens on and gave the ATV time to stop. Again, illegally riding an ATV is a fineable offense, that's it. Does not justify lethal force by auto. I hope he sues and wins. -

It's not really a road. It's supposed to just be open to pedestrian traffic. "Farnum Drive has been open to just pedestrian traffic since 2020. A large number of people, including families with children, were in the area." Voy beat me to it. -
Thanks for this. It wasn’t clear from the video that it is a pedestrian path. It looked like a dual use back road. It wasn’t a street. It is a paved pedestrian path. There is no expectation by those using it of any vehicles. What would a cop be expected to do if a dirt bike was careening down a busy sidewalk in the city? Second, the police car had stopped. Any force in this equation LITERALLY came from the ATV.
