Message: [QUOTE="Brooky03, post: 5080635, member: 8594"] Darlington’s original story said 10-20 yards, to my recollection. Either way, anybody who’s been on a football field can tell you that’s not far by any stretch. I take issue with the idea that the car dragged the officer, too. The officer knew he couldn’t stop a car with his hand. I’d bet none of his training has told him to grab a moving vehicle, too. So, the officer decides to grab a vehicle and decides to hold on to a vehicle and that equates to assault by the driver? That is incredibly sketchy. It’s the equivalent of charging somebody with resisting arrest if they instinctively jerk their arm away when a guy with unknown intentions and a gun (a police officer) tries to grab them. Technically, the law allows for that charge, but the law allows for charges for just about anything. [/QUOTE]
