1. The ticket

for endangering the medics on scene ALONE is going to hurt. If he thinks he's mad now...omg.Can you imagine what is going to cross his mind when his eyes flutter open tomorrow in the morning?

2. Crazy guy was probably listening to Michael sagar or one of those other kooks on am radio

Recently I was on the road in crowed traffic not in the fast lane but the one over. Going about 10 miles over the speed limit. This guy was tailgating me in a big truck, he finally got an opening and moved over speeding way over the limit. I could hear Michael Savage on his radio. He weaved in and out almost causing an accident people were branding because he cut them off. The traffic was thick. I ended up passing him later down the road and he was boxed in by slower drivers!!! I had a good laugh passing him in the slower lane to the right.

4. Wait. He passed you "speeding way over the limit.." But you could hear his radio?

He is speeding way over the limit. And you could not only hear his radio as he sped by over the limit, but even identify the radio show?

I would not know Michael Savage if I heard him on my own radio. Fascinating story.

[kimbutgar]

6. The limit was 45 as we were on the bay bridge and Michael savage show has this particular hard rock

Melody and it was very loud. I heard it also when he was behind me. He was that close.

[Tipperary]

8. I am not in the least familiar with the Michael Savage show, so I will take your word for it.

Guess both of you had your windows open. You did say he was WAY over the speed limit, so I admire your hearing ability.

At any rate, you have no way of knowing what this particular idiot was listening to, do you?

3. what a nutcase......

a driver who is going to lose his driver's license, lose his insurance, be sued for damages, and probably spend some time in jail.

[lunatica]

7. Let's hope he does lose all that

[WillowTree]

9. At least!

[tonedevil]

15. The local news reported...

he tested positive for narcotics. He may not have any of those driving legally things to lose, he is probably not a very good target for a lawsuit, and the chance that he has spent time in jail within the past 90 days is a number approaching zero.

5. Notice how the police kept calm and were patient?

That's excellent police work in taking into custody a very uncooperative suspect.

[Blue_true]

14. If that guy was Black, he stood a good chance of being in the morgue today.

Unfortunately, we still have dramatically different outcomes in terms of how angry or unbalanced suspects are treated.

[Doreen]

27. That was my first thought.

[Tipperary]

10. And here I thought California was all mellow and laid back and shit.

Hope they throw the book at that asshat.

[Raine]

26. There is lots of rage here in California

as traffic gets worse and the roads continue to deteriorate while greedy developers build more and gridlock gets worse all the time. There's lots of anger when a ten minute drive somewhere has turned into a 30 - 45 minute one. I'm not excusing the guy there's no excuse. Realistically I expect this kind of thing to get worse unless things change which is doubtful.

[CurtEastPoint]

11. And if the raving person had been black? What would the outcome have been?

[tonedevil]

16. While not black...

I suspect that Jose Fausto Garcia Alvarez was unafraid more based on the narcotics he tested positive for than on his sense of white privilege. Here in Sacramento our police have been much more circumspect since the shooting of Stephon Clark. I hope this new found sensitivity holds.

[Blue_true]

17. I recently saw a raving Black person taken down by tazer.

But I think that the outcome depends on the department's Chief and the policies that person enforces. My guess, in some places, him being a Black person instead of White? 70-30 that he got shot dead.

12. trDump voter ?

[tblue37]

13. Imagine if he'd had a gun. nt

[csziggy]

18. This looks like the same incident from a different angle

And starts at an earlier point.

And here is a news report:

[Demovictory9]

19. I call both vehicles TOTALLED

[Cha]

23. Thanks for that, ziggy.. says he Rammed another car

a few blocks away with someone in it but that they weren't hurt.

[LuckyCharms]

20. That should buff right out.

[Cha]

22. lol

[roamer65]

21. Good case for a tazer if I ever saw one.

He was turning a vehicle into a weapon.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

24. He seems nice...

[Hassin Bin Sober]

25. Any unnecessary force used in the apprehension of driver... has been approved.

[Trust Buster]

28. The police were too passive. This creep belongs in a cage and not free in civil society IMO.
