Where did he start at? I was watching the Walking Dead.

Edit: Never mind. He stole a West Covina PD crusier?! And made it all the way past Hollywood? They are going to hang him out to dry.

Im surprised that he made it as far as he did. Hes gone though quite a few cities and neither those pd’s or CHP has stopped him? Crazy.

Yeah, going for over 30 minutes at least (not sure when it started).

At one point a police Ford Explorer got in position to P.I.T. but backed off because of other traffic.

This is exciting. As long as nobody gets hurt, I’m rooting for the guy to make it to Mexico (he’s not going to make it to Mexico). I’d be surprised if he makes it out of Hollywood.

I think that’s going to be the case a lot tonight because of the late traffic.

10:43 PM PST : police are at the window with guns drawn. Check that, they're a bit relaxed, as though the suspect is no longer a threat. Not sure if he's down for the count or worse...

WTF was with the sideways picture of the George-Lucas-looking guy with a beard?

That was a picture of Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple! Definitely a “technical difficulties” moment...

Seems to me suspect might be dead - Twitter is reporting shots fired, and when live TV showed driver window, suspect was not moving. :(

True. Guess we'll find out how this ended tomorrow (TV news is insinuating that the suspect is dead)

That’s a damn shame. Guy was a menace, and had some serious repercussions coming to him, but I never agree with corporal punishment in any form.

Why're you sad

It’s a shame to see loss of human life, even if they haven't revealed who this person was (ie: could be a rapist / murderer, or just someone who got a bit too high and thought stealing a cop car might be fun)

Vee Ate Injun > Baeromez 03/14/2016 at 10:47

I agree. We'll find out what happened once the investigation wraps. Maybe he fired at the cops? Or maybe they over-reacted? (cops have NEVER done that, right?)

He endangered others. Sooooo I'm totally fine with that loss of life. Not trying to discuss an argument or anything. Just trying to see another point of view

I’ve personally seen enough death via gun to last a lifetime, so I’d prefer if police weren’t so quick to use lethal force when it isn’t appropriate. Now, i don’t know what happened in that scenario that led the cops to open fire, and it may turn out to be justified when the results of the report are made public, but I do know the man was mentally unstable (according to media this morning).

For example, there was another chase I posted about here in 2014 ( http://oppositelock.kinja.com/corvette-c6-ch… ) where a mentally unstable man was shot and killed by cops on live TV. I couldn’t believe what I saw (and neither could thousands of other people watching live). Turned out the cops fucked up: first officers used non-lethal bean bag rounds to subdue the man, second cops heard the bean bag rounds and thought he was shooting at them so they opened fire with their guns, even though the cameras clearly showed the man was in a defensive position running away from the cops. The father of the dead man sued the police and won. Cops messed up, man ended up killed unnecessarily.
