My fiancee's father is a cop in a large city here in NJ. He was involved in a very similar situation and he said it's just not safe to be out there anymore. As the car was coming back towards him he said he actually ran through a checklist of things he could and couldn't do and what would happen if he did this or that before he fired. He's retiring in a couple of weeks and is working in Internal Affairs in the interim. He says he can't believe he's made it through his whole career without it going down the crapper with all the BS that goes on. He says he feels sorry for the new people on the force because their hands are tied in so many ways and when they do act to defend themselves, IA and the politicians are all over them. If every t isn't crossed they can kiss their careers (and pensions) good bye.
