Jesus poop!

He got killed, actually. The shame is the fact that all those stolen goods were damaged in that wreck.

I'm aware.

OK, I'm curious, when the cop saw him in the truck, and starting it up, why wouldnt he just shoot out the tires? He already had his gun drawn and ready to fire, so why wait to begin a chase and put more lives in danger? This is an honest question, not trying to say he was wrong I'm really intrigued. It would seem to be an easy and safe thing to do am i correct?

LEO's, any input on this one?

His family sues the officer and the city. Bet.

Fuck that. They said he was reaching for the center console. Light his ass up!

And just why was the thread title changed?

Are the words "Holy Shit" currently against the rules or something?

You're not supposed to swear in thread titles.

Karma is a bitch

This

I hope that cement truck driver is alright

And this. It terrible, that a innocent truck driver was involved in a wreck like this. I hope the cement truck driver is ok.

barney fife has failed...... watching how some of these law enforcement professionals conduct and handle themselves makes me want to throw up. Pure luck that guy didn't get the gun out of the officers holster while they were fingerbanging each other on the side of the road.

Because everyohe on DFWM is a MMA/BJJ Master!

That officer should go back to class on how to take down an assailant. That punkass thief had his hands in the air most of the time.


Sucks that he got shocked from his own taser.

That's what happens when you have a smaller officer on larger suspect.

Good way to get fired/suspended. You cannot control ricochets. I don't know of a single department that can do this except DPS Troopers.

Cities just don't want the liability.

Amazing how quickly the concrete truck stopped and rolled over. It must have been empty otherwise the fleeing truck would have been a smear on the pavement. Sucks the concrete truck driver has to live with killing the guy but hopefully he will see it as "good riddance" and not have any issues with lawsuits and such.

"A concrete truck, which had the green light, struck the fleeing pickup truck on the passenger side. The concrete truck driver received non life-threatening injuries."

Yep against general orders in Arlington to shoot out tires. Hell we can't even shoot at a fleeing vehicle regardless of the level of offense that was committed, unless we want some days off. Only way is if the vehicle is coming at us in an attempt to run us over. 03truebluegt is right on with DPS.

Every time I see you post, your screen name makes me think of Tracy Morgan's character from Martin.

Hopefully he feels better bc while at the bar he will probably drink for free lol. As far as lawsuits, that's what insurance is for!

Good one less robber on the street in my book!
