      An officer can't grievously harm anyone. Thats not in his rights

      @@birons3708Did the officer INTEND to cause the grievous harm you mentioned? Or was it as a direct result of the criminal activity the POS was committing?
      At the least, GTA, aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer (multiple) from hitting occupied police vehicles, fleeing- and a host of others.
      This POS placed himself in the position and fault lies with him and him alone.

      @@birons3708I guess the RUclips police didn’t like something in my original reply to you- I’ll try again.
      This fellow put himself in the position he found himself in when he committed NUMEROUS crimes and decided to flee from the police
      Fault for his injury lies solely with him.

      @@birons3708 I support not being a dumb ass running from the cops. His forward momentum from running from the cops is what fucked him up. Not getting tased. I've been tazed and I'm not paralyzed, but I also wasn't running from the police.

    To me this just sounds like play stupid games win stupid prizes. If he had not actually stolen a car and was not running from police who had every right to be pursuing him, he would definitely have a case. You wanted to play with fate, and you lost.
