He was entering more crowded areas of pedestrain traffic, they are trying to minimize collateral damage.

 

[Tugatrix]

and it's all over

 

[tearsintherain]

that was a cool move by the cop, t-boning the car to get it to turn around and stop

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PIT_maneuver

he is white of course they won't shot him

cameras are rolling and this is the LA area. this is going to go by the book.

they only shoot people on live TV in Phoenix.

 

[jeffram]

He needs to go into the sewer.

 

[DrBo42]

is that the LTL shottie they're busting out now?

 

[Mac the KNife]

Police getting strapped.

 

[DarkestHour]

Just go pull the guy out.

 

[MrNelson]

Just go pull the guy out.

They can't, he's potentially armed.

 

[Nowise10]

Just go pull the guy out.

dang you should be an officer

 

[MikeDown]

He needs to go into the sewer.

^^^^

 

[snake fish]

He needs to go into the sewer.

That happened in a car chase out in Fontana, CA

 

[Tugatrix]

They can't, he's potentially armed.

yeah right i bet doesn't even have a nail clipper

 

[tearsintherain]

how do you even get a guy who might have a gun out of a car if he doesn't want to get out

 

[DarkestHour]

They can't, he's potentially armed.

"potentially"

 

[PillarEN]

Guy just wants to finish listening to the song on the radio. Then he will come out and give himself up.

 

[ReAxion]

is his right turn signal on?

 

[MrNelson]

yeah right i bet doesn't even a nail clipper

"potentially"

Considering this was a carjacking, yes the odds are high that he has a gun.

 

[joe2187]

i don't know LA

he is white of course they won't shot him

Ive seen at least 4 car chase suspects who were white, from LA get shot by police on camera.

I dont think race really matters if you're leading a police chase at that point youre already a criminal.

Dude has been going like 15 mph for two hours and stopping for stop signs and letting drivers pass. He's an outlaw who needs to be caught but his danger to civilians was pretty minimal. He's an amusingly safety conscious carjacker. The most serious danger to civilians was when cops sent his car out of control toward other drivers and bike riders in an area with frequent pedestrians.

I think they made this decision simply because they want to end it, not necessarily because it was the safest thing to do.

 

[chadskin]

Bring in the tanks.

 

[Ros8105]

If he ran now, would they just shoot him?

 

[MikeDown]

"potentially"

Reason enough to call in a drone strike.

 

[snake fish]

yeah right i bet doesn't even have a nail clipper

"potentially"

With the two cops that got shot and killed in Whittier I'm not surprised by they're actions.

yeah, there were other times it would have been safer. at the point of the pit moves, he was already on rims. they could have waited him out. every time they did something aggressive to him he got more reckless, they knew this.

If he ran now, would they just shoot him?

no. they're probably getting K9 units ready, among other things.

 

[MG310]

NBC showing 50 replays of the guy throwing something at the car.

 

[DarkestHour]

If he ran now, would they just shoot him?

No. Despite this ridiculous situation with all these cops pointing their guns they're not going to shoot someone for running away.

 

[MassiveNights]

The assault rifle, or whatever that thing is, seems like overkill. Oh America.

 

[joe2187]

Foot chases are normal, and shooting a fleeing suspect is considered "Improper conduct"
