You wouldnt get me jumping on the bonnet of a RR to kick in the windscreen in of an escaping criminal...

Problem with these things is that you never get the full story. I once saw footage that made the news which showed 2 cops kicking a bloke in a scuffle on the road and it looked over the top but when it went to court the judge condemned the press as they didn't tell anyone about what happened immediately prior to this 'police brutality', as in the cop had stopped a car and the driver had subsequently drove 250yds down the road holding onto the cop through the window , dragging him alongside the car before letting him go. So if I was that cop, I'd be 'pretty annoyed' aswell when I caught up with him. I must remember that police escort line though - brilliant!!!  Steve

Unless the car has been tweaked we all know the doors would be locked, there are cops who own FFRRs you know! Maybe their other work car is one hence the knew the score

If the front glass doesn't meet the prescribed level of tint for the side windows then I guess it is very likely it has film on it rather than factory tint which would make it very difficult to smash and penetrate as the film would hold the glass in place. If the cop hit is once and it went through would that have looked ok?

Without knowning the full facts it would be wrong to judge the officers though on the face of what HAS been presented it seems ott.

Very sad.,, regardless of the people involved I feel for the car!
