So that’s why Atlanta PD doesn’t respond to anything. People keep calling Porsche North America for emergencies.

I guess there were too many innocent dark people to gun down, or people that have plants in their houses to flashbang on that particular evening.

MR2 was getting smoked by that drunk Camry driver.

I can’t watch the whole thing or listen with volume now, but from what I saw, damn, that was a ballsy move following so closely, and stopping so obviously with the suspect’s car. If the dude had been armed that could have gone badly for MR2 guy. Hope APD figured something out here.

John. I believe they’re called Johns.

(either that was a hooker or she likes dressing like one)

The driver says in the reddit thread that he was armed. He did not get out of his vehicle to confront the suspect and escalate the situation which was a smart move. He also didn’t tell the 911 operator his car’s details and that he was armed, which was NOT smart.

The driver also says there was zero follow-up by the APD, at least not to him.

MR2 is running a Gen3 3S-GTE with mid-200's wheel horsepower and is doing his best to keep up, but maintain decent distance against a 3.5L V6 Camry with high 200's crank horsepower. Also, any U-turn is going to cost you at least like 6-7 seconds.

My first though was “hey, twinsies!”

Looks like a SMG. Mine’s the same color but Gen4 :)

I went to the posters youtube account to watch part 4. He loses the guy, but godamnit, reading the YT comments made me feel sick.

Either way, I seriously cant fathom the fact there arent any police cars in the whole 20 minutes of this thing going down...what the hell...

Not surprised. Most of the police around here are interested only in revenue generation. You cannot rely on 911. You should certainly call 911 but be prepared to defend yourself or whatever while you’re on hold and the following 15-20 minutes for the police/ambulance/fire to show up

In fairness to the driver, he might not have been able to describe his MR2 without inducing a boner that could interfere with the steering wheel.

Found the reddit page with this. I actually have met that guy, I bought an engine from him 5 or 6 years ago

Warren v. District of Columbia states that police have no duty to protect civilians.

So much WTF. I’m glad he included the annotation at the end about the other driver staying with the woman and realizing he should have stopped then.

Only tangentially related, I just bought an ‘88 MR2 SC. Anything I should be on the lookout for? Doing plugs, oil, and some interior electrical this weekend with brakes, timing belt, and coolant flush to follow.

In parts of the country that aren’t the Midwest and the Middle East, women can wear what they want without being called hookers.

I recommend changing the oil in the supercharger as well. I made a handy how-to with pictures if you need it. MatrixGarage also now sells oil that is more similar to the original Toyota oil formula if you prefer to do that over GM oil.

Well if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, and gets kidnapped like a duck and dragged into a car like a duck, and beaten on the side of the road like a duck....

It might be a hooker as well.

Really, your going to generalize?

If what you say is true, when are you going to become a Cop and change all that?

A 2GR-FE V-6 Camry has enough thrust to make a mildly modified MR2 turbo have to work to keep up. They’re surprisingly quick.

Also why did you capitalize “Cop”? It’s an occupation, not a deity.

So your signing up to be a Police Officer, Right? Take care of all the perceived problems? Go after the ones you think should be arrested.

Like every other walk of life there are Good Cops and Bad Cops. There are good citizens and bad citizens. One thing for certain they all have civilian oversight. People get elected to oversee and run Police Departments. Maybe they should be examined and booted out of office if their Police Department is a Bunch of Thugs.

Don’t mistake my poor grammar skills as a sign to dismiss my argument.

You generalized, which is a Lazy way out.

Just so you know I wanted to get my Hands on the Asshole in Iraq who was taking pictures of prisoners in humiliating ways. He made all M.P.’s look bad. As I was an in Iraq as an M.P. I wasn’t to happy that he made me look Bad.

I know its Hip and edgy to say all Police are bad but that really is not the case.

All your rights are protected by someone wearing a Uniform and carrying a gun.

So you going to do something good for other people in Society or just make generalizations and ignore questions you don’t want to answer?

I understand the danger of blindly supporting anything. Do you? Seems like you like to blindly support whatever you hear in the News.

You seem to be using the “a few bad apples” argument. I would submit that yes, a few bad apples in a bunch does not make all the other apples bad. However when the farmer doesn’t throw the bad apples out, and all the good apples rally behind the bad apples to minimize external perception of their degree of rot, that in turn makes the rest of the apples bad in a different way. Until good cops start giving the boot to the bad ones, they are just as bad.
Also, yes they are theoretically there to keep law and order “protecting your rights”, but when it comes to taking people’s rights away, who’s the ones doing the taking? Who were the ones being hired by private corporations to physically assault peaceful protesters on protected land? Who were the ones macing and beating peaceful students staging a sit-in to protest the gross injustices on Wall Street? Who were the ones that unconstitutionally conducted house-to-house search and confiscations of legally owned firearms in New Orleans after Katrina? Who are the ones constantly using excessive force resulting in the murder or severe physical harm of citizens, racial minorities disproportionately so?

You say you served in Iraq. Over there were rules of engagement, protocol which had to be followed, and if you did not you would have been court-martialed and possibly imprisoned, yes? You were held to a higher standard because you were trained to be a professional. Police SHOULD be held to a higher standard but they are absolutely not. All they have to do is say “I feared for my life” and they can get away with literally anything, with the full force of the FOP and boatloads of free legal council behind them.

Ironic that the same people who don’t want to be tread on, lick the boots of the ones that are doing the treading.

Are all cops bad? Of course not. But a few are, and the ‘good’ ones keep protecting them.

Yes some of the good ones protect the Bad ones. If they know about it. You making the assumption that someone knows about it.

But that can come back and bite them on the A_ _. Maybe even kill them.

It sounds like your making a generalization with data that you know about.

You know news outlets have to make money except for NPR and a few others right?

“If it Bleeds, It Leads.”

“Ironic that the same people who don’t want to be tread on, lick the boots of the ones that are doing the treading.”

No,no, no. Insults Why?

Where are your facts as far as me being attached to their backsides by my lips?

Why would you have a well reasoned argument then blow it?

I wasn’t saying you were a “don’t tread on me” type. It’s one of my biggest frustrations lately though. I’m definitely of the “don’t tread on me” mindset, but I feel like I’ve been seeing a lot of Gadsden flag, Molon Labe and Thin Blue Line decals sharing real estate on the same cars. It drives me insane and that frustration popped out a bit.

I assumed your in the U.S., I am. The Army spends less time training then civilian police. ( California)Now the Army C.I.D is different. That is plain clothes, Detectives

But the Army doesn’t have the Smart Ass, cop shooting civilians. The lying to get out of the ticket civilians.

Responding to car accidents suck. Telling their families suck. Have you ever had to tell people “NO”? Have them piss and moan about their rights? Even thou its to keep everyone safe?
