Before or after they add exit holes to your head?
The biggest crime there is law enforcement having to do their job with their hands tied. IMHO
I bet the Bronco driver didn't look like a certain minority, or maybe he/she did look like an illegal immigrant which throws the whole reasong in a different direction.
FWIW, I don't really think stuff should work like that but I'll offer a steak dinner with some good beer to anyone that can prove it doesn't happen in the USA.
Do a ride along with a cop and see what kind of shit they see and put up with every day. I bet your attitude towards them will change. There are bad players in every profession.
Years ago they started a "Citizens Police Academy" in our hometown. It was so regular joes get an insight on what Police officers must go through. They take your from initial training as recruits, continual training, modern day training simulators from real life situations to auto driving simulators, ride-a-longs, they even tased an officer in front of us. It was eye opening, and gained a lot of respect for them. Split decisions they have to make at times, and then get thrown on trial for them now-a-days. You can go from hero to zero in an instant.
Ramanpreet Singh (25) from Brampton, Ontario, just west of Toronto, stole the Bronco. Common occurrence in Brampton. The police tracked him down and cornered him at a coffee shop drive through. He tried to escape as seen in the above video. He’s been charged with flight from a police officer, dangerous operation, obstruct police officer and three counts of possession of property obtained by crime.
According to the Insurance Bureau of Canada ... “Vehicle thefts in Brampton outpace the auto theft rate in other parts of Ontario by about 20%."
The cops did their job.
Where's the destruction of property charges? In this situation, I think the cops did their job well, no one died over simple property.
Now the question is will the courts punish this guy and teach a lesson, or will they give him some harsh words and set him free?Don't need to, I personally know about 1/2 a dozen, I've heard plenty of stories. I'd have to be paid professional (male) athlete money to do that job. But I’ve also heard quite a few bad things from cops about cops, even seen documentation to back up stories, and I've had my own run-ins to know that 1- cops are just people too, some are good, some are bad, 2- a significant amount of cops are on a power trip, which is why they seek a job of "authority".

In Ontario there is a $5,000 damages milestone that has a significant bearing on the penalty if convicted. I believe it's max. 6 mo. in prison if under $5k and up to 10 yrs. if over. Just guessing but I imagine they want to confirm the amount before laying the charge. I'm sure it will be over $5K.
I don't know but I would hope not as it wouldn't be much of a deterrent.
