Me neither. Still not sure if they planned to hit her or were just driving down the street, hit her, and didn't look around for anyone else but just.... like it's an everyday routine, put her on the stretcher.

Were they watching? Do they know she was with 2 others? Was it really an accident? Could she not have heard the car before running into the street? Was it going at a good clip or were they just around the corner and just accelerated into her? They Stopped pretty quick... were they sure they didn't just run over a walker? They didn't hear Daryl cry out?

I'm missing something.

 

Yeah their whole setup and intake process is a little sketchy to me too, so far though we've only seen the cross cops hit one person with a car (Carol) and we don't know if they hit Beth with the car for sure (but her with the wrist injury seems to point to that) but it's possible it happened some other way with Beth. We don't know how the other servants in the hospital got there, so it's hard to assume if that's their MO or not using the vehicles to hit them.

I'm flip-flopping on Carol though, part of me is thinking it was likely intentional hitting Carol because she was armed, but they didn't intend to kill her, and another part thinks it might have been just an accident like you suggested. I wonder if that will be explained in the next two episodes.

 

I noticed that there was a black van parked right where Carol crossed. Also, I'm not so sure that was a street that ran thru, but more of the cross cops' car pulling as close to the building as possible.
As for them deciding to take Carol, hasn't it been established that grabbing females is a plus for them?

 

I would have to watch again as I only saw the episode once but it looked to me as if the station wagon intentionally accelerated in order to hit Carol. She had a rifle slung around her so they couldn't have mistook her for a walker. And the fact that they carried a stretcher with them only fuels speculation that they go out "hunting" for living victims.

 

Yeah, I think they're "hunting" people for slaves -- or at least opportunistically "conking" them somehow when they see them. After all, a lot of people aren't going to come willingly with a bunch of strangers, cop uniform or not, at this point -- especially if they are with someone else. The oncologist fell out of his apartment? How does that happen (and worse, I thought they said it was a first floor apartment he fell out of).

Carol? Definitely a hit, grab & run. If they weren't doing that, why wouldn't they be looking around for other people? [Just like they didn't look around for other people when they grabbed Beth, yet Darryl wasn't that far behind ]

 

Yeah i dont get it either, if they are wanting to build a stronger group they would be much better served simply asking people to join them and explaining they have a safe location and supplies and doctors on staff, just taking them is only going to breed contempt and the chances of confrontation, i get the distinct feeling that they dont fully understand what its like out on the road as such and feel people will still conform to law and order seeing someone in a police uniform (i dont actually think they are all cops either) but they are in for a real shock when they get to meet the rest of the group and i dont see the battle being as intense as many would think, they should be no real problem for Rick and the gang.
They also have no real leverage, as they have no idea Beth and Carol are part of their group, and hopefully the writers are smart enough not to have Rick or Daryl expose that fact.

 

Is there a lot of traffic during the zombie apocalypse? Do ambulances usually drive into people, thereby creating their own patients? I'm pretty sure all those "accidents" were planned, and they would always take what the weaker and more compliant of the survivors with them to the hospital.

 

I'm afraid the cops' motivations and logic will remain a plot device. It's a waste of resources and an unnecessary risk to kidnap unwilling servants/sex slaves. How can the cops NOT expect escape and rescue attempts? Previous bad guys had at least some semblance of "reasonable" goals. The governor wanted to eliminate all threats to his authority. Gareth wanted to not be a victim and instead be the butcher. I'm preparing myself for the disappointment of having the main big bads of the MSF being driven by nothing more than being a bunch of stupid perverts.

 

There sure are a lot of weirdos running the show when society falls apart. More than now, I mean.
