Looking at the video, the kid got exactly where he deserved. Sheer stupidity from the kid. Katashi_itto Nov 2013 #25

I tend to agree rollin74 Nov 2013 #33

In what world does that seem realistic? Orrex Nov 2013 #60

Pursue him on foot better than at high speed. JaneyVee Nov 2013 #61

What? Orrex Nov 2013 #62

does Ames P.D. even have a helicopter?? rollin74 Nov 2013 #64

Car could be a deadly weapon. LisaL Nov 2013 #12

That's what criminal charges are for Scootaloo Nov 2013 #16

you mean after he killed someone driving like a maniac. But then you'd trash talk the cops KittyWampus Nov 2013 #38

Yup, clearly he deserved to die. nt Bonobo Nov 2013 #41

He was recklessly endangering the lives of others. gcomeau Nov 2013 #56

he wasn't killed because he stole a car rollin74 Nov 2013 #52

A high speed chase of a teen is completely idiotic davidpdx Nov 2013 #20

Did you even watch the tape? LisaL Nov 2013 #21

I watched the tape. There was zero need to pursue the kid in a chase. RedCappedBandit Nov 2013 #26

right, so if a kid is driving a large truck through a quad, wrong way down streets and potentially KittyWampus Nov 2013 #39

So many mistakes. NCTraveler Nov 2013 #34

unfortunately he sped off the wrong way on a one way street, where they supposed to dionysus Nov 2013 #50

Letting him drive away does not mean letting him go. NCTraveler Nov 2013 #67

Wrong thread title. Cops shot kid using truck as weapon is more accurate. KittyWampus Nov 2013 #40

In the age of the police state, everything is a weapon. Gravitycollapse Nov 2013 #49

true but ramming cop cars with a vehicle is damn near suicidal. dionysus Nov 2013 #51
