So this guy is involved in car crashes, he injures firefighters and


spits on the paramedic, kicks the nurse and threatens to kill a police officer and his family--and he's still alive.

Just pointing out that police can show restraint when they want to.


Drunken man tased after rampage, report says

The driver did everything he could to evade arrest after a series of crashes in rural east Seminole County, including hitting a firefighter, spitting on a paramedic and kicking a nurse, deputies say.

And the drunken rampage in Geneva continued after the driver crashed into the bushes in the 800 block of Snow Hill Road on Wednesday evening, authorities say.

And before that, while he was being strapped into a stretcher, he threatened to wipe out the deputy's family.

"I'm going to kill you, your wife, and you will never see your daughter again," he said, according to a report.
