LA trooper shooting and police car chase. Terrebonne/Lafourche

Damn, NattyLite told me he heard it was a police chase right before your post. Pasture fire on 308 across the bayou from Alumni Grill was happening at the same time. Traffic was terrible on this side of town at 5.

One of those net grapplers would have worked great.

Let that net get all up in the back axle and just put on the brakes. Rip the back axle clean off the truck

Also the passenger tried to get out in run at some point of the chase and was shot. Passenger was dead on scene.
