A few blocks, at a sprint that's pretty damn good.

a police officer should outrun a random heroin dealer quite easy though. and if the dealer was out of breath why still tackle?

He said he was out of breath, not the dealer. Learn how to read. He tackled him because he ran. Damn. How do people not understand this? Maybe you should be more worried about the guy selling kids heroin, but you are more worried about him getting tackled for running away. And people wonder why the world is shit. We have people treating Criminals as victims, and the ones that catch them as evil. I guess you would prefer he sell someone some dope instead so they can overdose. Gtfo

[/quote] there are languages aside from english. i assumed he couldve meant the drug dealer since he said that he(police officer) was much faster.

[/quote] you cant just tackle a guy because he could be a heroin dealer. has op stated that the suspect was a dealer? running away from police seems suspicious but as ive heard its quite common in the us even if not guilty.

Gtfo[/quote] matching the description of a drug dealer makes you a criminal? and no cops arent evil. but cops have rules and laws that they have to stick to.

He's hot the head start, I had to get out of the car first. I'm also carrying a bunch of equipment on my belt and wearing a vest that is somewhat heavy after a few hours of working.

I have the right to chase him. Why act hard if you've done something wrong? Besides, my first intention was to talk to him, not to chase him.

I explained the description part on point two. Otherwise, you're correct

hope you didnt feel like i sided with anyone on the discussion. i tried to remain as neutral as possible. as a civilian its easy to say, yo dude just knock that criminal out. but some of my friends are police officers (not in the us though) and i know its really strict on what they are allowed to do and what not. someone once told me there is a difference between winning a case in court and being in the right. kind of sucks, but seems about right.

Yeah your cool man. I might've missed a few key details while posting, but it doesn't matter. I'll keep working until I retire. [spoiler]or get shot. I doubt I will make it to retirement. Got a Crackhead blasting his AK47 at me a few days ago[/spoiler] [spoiler]**Rethinks life choices[/spoiler]

couldnt think of living in a country where everyone could legally carry a weapon tbh. especially as a police officer. but best of luck to you on your journey to your retirement!
