what was going through this guys head?

Or you could read the same article you posted....
They did try to blow the tires. Thing is semi tires are a lot harder to blow than automobile tires are.

9:07 p.m. - Blessed is eastbound on Route 63 when he hits stop sticks set up by Genesee County Sheriff's deputies.

 

Why didn't the cops try to take out his STEER TIRES??????? Are cops that DUMB???????

WHAT THE #### IS WRONG WITH YOU????

Did you read the story???
Here is a quote:
"In the course of the incident, Blessed tried to ram oncoming vehicles and fired shots at police during the chase."

Who the hell is the DUMB one here???!!!

 

Im confused why they didn't just fire rpg at him.

 

A New York officer, on average, hit's about 33% of the time. I didn't find the New York article I've read, but I did find one for Dallas.

Shooting up into a vehicle is much safer than shooting across at a tire. A tire they are unlikely to hit and then where does the bullet go? No, shooting tires is simply Hollywood b.s. that has no basis in reality.

New study on shooting accuracy: How does your agency stack up?

 

A bullet

 

Hopefully several!

 

A couple of dollars worth of bullets just saved the taxpayers millions of $$$ on his Defense Lawyers, medical bills and the cost of trials and eventual incarceration. We are all blessed that Mr. Blessed has assumed room temperature.
