He is probably mad that they made him drive a Prius.

There’s a lot of waiting in that vid, skip to 30s for the relevant footage.

Perhaps not with chemical intoxicants, but certainly with power. (Not that I trust “police sources”.)

Let he who has not also wanted to ram a car blocking traffic an excessive amount of time waiting for a spot to open up cast the first stone.

He’ll likely get promoted for this.

So long as I haven’t actually done it, I still get to throw stones. Also so long as I am not an agent of state responsibility. I get so many stones.

That’s transmission fluid, right? How the hell do you crack the transmission case at that speed? Or is the reservoir right up front on a Prius?

Too much coffee used to make me that ragey, but I only yelled like a maniac with the windows rolled up. Plus I was a Bay Area transplant to Portland, OR where they don’t know how to drive. Now I keep it to one half-caff in the a.m. and am pretty Buddah about stuff I can’t control. Plus age, yoga and…doubling my meds.

I’m confused about some things. So police ARE allowed to ram a vehicle in front of them if they are heading to an emergency situation. I am not sure a traffic cop would EVER be called to such an event. I didn’t see any lights or anything.
So assuming it’s just “I’m da police respect mah authoritah” and they rammed the car just because…then by all means they are a fucking asshole.
Other wise I need more info to judge beyond saying “you couldn’t have just gotten out and spoken to the driver waiting”?

It’s probably just coolant. The radiator is right up front.

Agreed. I think Toyota-branded coolant is red

To be fair, it’s Flushing. Not really New York City per say.
