Old time Joco family making waves today. Frank Holding sr personally pushed through my grandparents loan to buy our business in the early 70s when First Citizens was still based in Smithfield. Olivia still gets her tractors worked on at the same small time shop her daddy took his to. I've never met frank jr, but Sr and my grandfather were good friends up until he died.

That's amazing that there was enough energy there to shoot it up so high. Especially considering the car and the tire were traveling similar speeds.

The tire acted as a ramp. It compressed when hit and then the combination of the kia climbing the tire, and the compression unloading at the same time absolutely launched that little shit biscuit! Best part was the tire coming back for round 2 after the Kia slid to a stop.

Also - I'm just a dumb neuroscientist - but if a tire is spinning 65 mph and rolls over another tire also spinning 65 mph, isn't it getting flung at the ground at 130 mph?

In all honesty I think they did a good job. I'd say 90% of cops never have to get into an active shooter and a drill just isn't the same. Plus your in a school with a ton of hallways and doors. Looked like the cops that had already made it to the second floor were swapping fire back and forth and keeping the shooting occupied and in one location until they could get some more firepower

I can't imagine trying to clear a building that is designed like that. So many halls, entry points, bathrooms, etc. And with that alarm going off, that would have had to have been nerve-wracking enough.

It's still their right. If people don't like it, they should hold a Constitutional Convention and change it.

From the time the officer who terminated the suspect put his vehicle in park until he pulled the trigger was around 3m15s. Roughly a minute of that was getting his rifle and waiting for his partners to gear up. Pretty damn awesome in my untrained opinion.

It’s it a terrifying change in doctrine for the mass shooters. It used to be, for the last 10 years or more, that once the shooters are confronted with resistance, they would take their own life. Not the case anymore. They start to shoot at police. Not good. And once the police start to die it’s going to slow everything down even more.
