I understand the whole sacrifice thing I guess, but I feel like the cops should have done him in. I know this way, hitting the truck he dies and the bike is destroyed too, thus ending the Teller reign.

It might seem trivial but...what about the truck driver (aka the Commish)? He would be scarred for life having killed a man with his truck. If Jax was really trying to patch things up he wouldn't hurt one more person before he went. I know this seems less important but in real life that would fuck someone up.

If I directed that last scene, it would go like this: He drives off on the bike, with all the cops in tow. He rides until the bike runs out of gas, thus symbolizing the end of his journey. He drifts to a stop, and turns perpendicular to the cops on the road, as the cops spill out of their cars, guns drawn, demanding he puts his hands up. He looks up to the sky one last time and closes his eyes, and pulls his gun and fires in the air. Cops see this as aggressive and unload on him, dropping him dead, and possibly hitting the tank of the bike a igniting what's left inside, setting fire or blowing up Jax's already shot up body. And this way, the cops get their win by sending a message to the club, and finally having a well publicized victory.

And one more thing: I was seriously disappointed at the shitty CG crows flying, trickling blood, shitty greenscreen/ CG Jax heading towards the truck, and something that looked like CG bread on CG asphalt, as the last shot of the entire series. So disappointing.

I disagree - the fact that he chose to ride into the truck better shows that he was in control of his fate. Taken down by a truck sounds a lot more respectful and "biker" than gunned down by police. Theres no real "good" end to this.
