    That was a relatively minor and fast subduing of suspects. Reading the comments I expected much worse.


    I couldn't be a cop. People look you right in the eye and lie their asses off--you're dealing with the dullest and dumbest scum or the angriest jackass speeders--not for me.

    But perhaps someone could invent a very sturdy electromagnet that the chopper could just swing down and lift the perps from the road. Skyhook, anyone?

    i for one am glad to see them get some 'stick time'. endangering innocents because your a douche=stick time. putting other lives at risk is plenty of justification for punches to the face. they should let the public in on it. imagine if it was you or your family or your kids. you'd want to punch them.

    A vigilante mentality is a serious problem, especially when coming from the supposed upholders of the law. Is this just another banana republic?

    After watching that all the way through, all I can think of is how stupid the cops are. You've got a helicopter. You've got units all over town. Why are you still chasing him in traffic?

    Cowboy mentality. Not limited to cops in OK or the rest of the southwest.


    In the Detroit area, both the city and suburbs, the police departments have been able to curtial the the high speed chases on busy streets after a bunch of completely non-involved people were killed, mainly when the fleeing car went through an intersection at 80 MPH.

    @donner_froh:

    You're missing some info here. What do you mean by "able to curtail"? Not begin chases, not pursue chases? You don't have a point here.


    The reality in Michigan is that yes, intelligently enough, some communities are enacting less INITIATION of high speed chases. However, if you personally want to try running from the authorities at high speed, you have a real unpleasant surprise coming. They're not about to let you blast around the neighborhood unhindered.

    @ROCKYLIFE: If the police don't follow, the chase is over. Then when they stop, the police will come and get them. Absolutely no reason to prolong the danger by giving chase once the helicopter is in touch. Spike strips, sure, but enough of these ridiculous and dangerous chases.

    While I have no sympathy for someone putting that many other drivers at risk in a futile attempt to escape, don't the cops know that they're on tape? The punches to the face, and the kneeling on the head didn't appear justified.

    For a limited time you can call in at your local Burger King and get the Smoked BBQ Angus ® with 100% Flame-Grilled Aberdeen Angus beef, Smoked Cheddar Cheese, 4 Rashers of Applewood Smoked Bacon, topped with Smoked BBQ Sauce, 2 tomato slices, crispy lettuce and mayonnaise and finished with a corn dusted bun. At participating outlets.


    And why not take a side of Chili-Cheese bites ®?


    This should have everyone 130ing it to get to BK® before the end of this tantalizing offer.


    Chilis? not so much

    @Rust-MyEnemyNow4%MoreProductive: Most fast food lineups in other countries are about 50% local/regional content. Don't virtually all of the UK's McD and BK serve lamb and/or vegan food (on account of the Indian and South Asian population)?


    I think if anything lamb showed up on a US McD's menu, it would freak everybody out. Many American adults I know have never tasted lamb in their lives. They view it almost as strangely as eating horse (which I have also done, in the Netherlands)

    How to get a cop to beat the crap out of you in one easy 2-step lesson.


    1) Run from police at high speed.


    2) Get caught.

    @avconsumer2: Let's just say there's a bit of adrenaline involved in a 130 MPH chase on a public freeway where other traffic is going ~70 MPH. Sometimes at the end of the chase a creative outlet must be found to "come down" from it. Sometimes the perps (like this guy) provide that outlet by continuing to try to run away.


    @nick2ny: Excellent use of gross oversimplification to make your unreasoning dislike for authority seem rational. Thanks for playing! Next!
