All I know is the driver of the filming vehicle had one big set of brass cajones and was one hell of a good driver.

Agree. We had some serious thread drift here. Back on topic.

 

When that chase entered the city it should have been called off. They put others lives at risk continuing to pursue thru town. Hell, he blew by a school bus!!!!

 

That pit maneuver should have been done when he slowed down on that rural back road.

 

Meanwhile on the other side of town the bank got robbed and they got away with 300K because the entire force was chasing one person.

EVEN IF they called off the chase, that guy would have continued on blasting down the road at 130 MPH. No sir. They did the right thing by continuing after that idiot. EVEN IF others got killed or injured as a result, and EVEN IF it could have been one of my family or loved ones that got injured or hurt. I loved how those V-6 Chargers kept up pretty good and how the state patrol V-8 charger when flying by and was able to take lead and start the pitting. Yes car with the dash cam was a V-6. I know the sound well Not bad for a 300 HP 6 cylinder. There were no crown vics in that chase.

Honestly that was very dangerous. The charger trying to pass the crown on a two lane road and end up staying side by side like there racing.

That was not a crown vic. That was another Charger. The Crowns are pretty much dead and they have VERY crappy acceleration as compared to the V-8 & V-6 Chargers. If it were a Vic, it would not have the fast acceleration you were seeing from the dash cam in that Charger.

Until the auto makers are required to put realistic non-adjustable/tamperproof speed limiters on those vehicles, super high speed persuits like this one need to see the idiots that are willing to drive that fast to flee the police brought into custody no matter the cost.

This is what choppers are made for. Most PDs have new policies on chases in town. I don't know what the right policy is, but I gotta say there were a lot of people exposed during that chase.

 

Those guys chasing were going faster than I would. That idiot in the pickup was so out of it he didn't even know what the heck he was doing. He's luck he lived thru it. I'll bet the cops didn't treat him kindly.

Helicopters are nice but rare. The Michigan State Police have 2 or 3 for the entire state. Google isn't much help to show me what cities have them still.

IMO we should remove the quality of life expected by America's prisoners and keep them locked in a cell 23 hours a day. No books, TV, radio or commissary. Make the prison system a place where people really don't want to go and people will think twice before breaking the law. Also people who murder should be publicly hung immediatly after sentencing. There should be a death row but that should be the row they walk up to the gallows.

In the early '90's I remember a young American teen who was caught spray painting in a southern country and he was publicly cained as punishment. I would bet to this day he hasn't touched a can of spray paint and avoids the hardware isle in stores due to PTSD from his act of wrong doing.

Head shot would stop jack wagons like this and save inmate crowding win win

Robert, I couldn't agree more. If we take away the privileges, they won't be as likely to go there.

 

I work hard, and make an honest living. There are sometimes that I wonder where my next meal will come from. In prison, you get meals handed to you everyday at the same time, and it's always hot. You always have a roof over your head, like minded people to talk to and plenty of exercise equipment to make some football teams jealous. Damn, almost seems like they have it better than me!

There is a season 2 episode of psych where an inmate is supposed to tell a troubled kid how bad prison is....

 

Wish the clip was on youtube, pretty funny.

      OCI, not when but why?

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.
