Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Well, He Got Him!

Agree 100%, especially since his original infraction was running a red light.

He would have claimed that he wasn't driving, it was stolen, and his momma and the rest of the family would have sworn he was with them at Bible study.

Hitting those poles likely saved the officers life. They allowed him to brush off some energy before impact. They also reduced the effect of gravity on the energy equation.

Which made him a hero to many.

That's sure happened before.

I remember one chase that was called off, and after it was called off the runner hit a car at a red light because "the guilty flee when no man pursueth." Fatal wreck.

I'm all in favor of a mag dump through the roof on the drivers side from the police helicopter.

Now we're getting somewhere.

Probably.

Nope 109mph.

Look at the GPS speed indicator at impact. (Lower left corner)

Cops should never pursue anyone who runs from the cops. That's a smart idea.

Well, they aren't allowed to stop looters, rioters, and arsonists.

Could have had a stolen plate off a Prius on that truck. If that scumbags was allowed to get away once he would certainly have done it again and again and killed someone eventually.

No, that's not good either.

I worked for a PD that would let you pursue until you reached the city limits. It was a game killer if they beat you to the city limits. So every low-life idiot knew this policy, and we'd have 3-4 weekly high speed pursuits to the city limits... or until they wrecked out.

That was a stupid policy. The Chief wasn't too bright. We kept telling him why there were so man high speed pursuits. But he never changed the policy.

It's a well known fact the Texas Highway Patrol WILL stop you. Even if they shoot the car out from under you, or the driver himself. Used to be that if you wanted to shoot your gun, you joined the Texas Highway Patrol.

Take a vacation and see see how the heathens about 1000 miles south handle it.

I seen the second car up to 129 one time on the reader.

Lead car was a Charger, not sure if the whole shift has Chargers, bound to be a Vic mixed in there. Maybe the second car was a Vic after seeing the 129 mph ‘top out’
Or could have just been coincidence


The 2004–2011 Police Interceptors (Ford P71) are equipped standard with an open 3.27:1 rear axle (Axle code Z5), with a trac loc 3.27:1 rear axle (Axle Code X5) optional, and are electronically limited to 129 mph (208 km/h) due to critical driveline speed limitations.

What was the Piss Fir Henry doing in town pulling someone over for a minor traffic violation?

You KNOW there was at least one Crown Vic., otherwise they would have all broke down.

Misdemeanor? How do you know the guy didn't have warrants out? Drugs? Murderer? The guy ran for a reason, play stupid games................

TV. They all get stopped for a minor traffic violation on their way to their first college class after rescuing a litter of bisexual puppies.

I bothered to read the story..............

The guy in the pickup was also the local retard, When I read that I was sure it was going to be one of a handful of members here but that didn't pan out.
