INSANITY: LAPD guidelines forced police to allow a suspect in a stolen sedan to stop at a gas station to refuel during a high speed chase. To reduce risk to the public they allowed air support to track while the suspect refueled before resuming getaway.

I agree you probably shouldn't shoot up the gas pumps but how about just walking up and throwing some of those tire popping strips down and attempting to take the perp into custody after he hangs up the gas pump.

That car is just like the one I had that I wrecked after being forced off the interstate back in January. Except mine was silver. I'll just say.. there are worse cars to try to evade the police in.

Or simply block the exits.

Very hard to believe their police have become so emasculated they have to sit there and do nothing while homeboy gasses up and takes back off but hey, that's LA for you.

The most soft on crime, progressive bullshite imaginable. If anyone decent still lives in L.A., they can't complain anymore. You know what you are getting. And I don't give a shite how great the weather is, I want to live in a safe, decent city.

They’d let him sign autographs at least.

Maybe they’ll clean his windshield and check his tires while he’s filling up.

NO! He stops the car, you surround him on all sides, and take him down with any means necessary, period

He can't hurt more people, than if you allow him to proceed at a high rate of speed in populated areas and highways

I remember laughing at the notion that that Police in the movie demolition man being so inept. what was science fiction in 1993 is turning into reality 30 years later......


the irony is the movie is set in "futuristic" Los Angeles in 2032

I don't think you should open fire around gas pumps but I'm all about bum rushing the guy.

During the George Floyd riots the protestors would run from LASD and hide behind LAPD.

The sheriff guys still laugh at that shite.

What's next, the LAPD will be handing out guns to the criminals to make it a fair fight?

Was the driver armed? What was he wanted for?
