It can go either way. What if the Jeep driver had done nothing to block the FR-S, and then a minute later the video showed the FR-S plowing into the stopped police vehicle and killing the officer?

Don't get me wrong - I'm more of an advocate of following while calling the cops and reporting the license plate and reporting what's going on than getting more involved. But I can't really fault the 'very brave but stupid' individuals who take it upon themselves to not sit back when they see something wrong.

Hindsight is always 20/20, but I'd assume that the sooner a drunk driver is stopped, the less risk he'll pose to others. Left unchecked, he could have caused even more damage than he did.

Good points.
