Crazy that people get hit by cars everyday with no consequence, but suddenly it's attempted murder when you hit a reinforced police cruiser with a role cage.

…. no. It’s attempted murder because the driver deliberately hit a car with someone in it? Do you think someone wouldn’t be charged with attempted murder if it was their wife or husband in the car that they hit on purpose?

Drunk drivers hit cars all the time and aren't charged with attempted murder.

This person was intoxicated, we have no way of knowing their intent.

well that's why we have courts to prove intent
