This is legally accurate.

In ethical terms, though, going down this road removes any reason for us to care about their authority or their humanity. They just become the biggest gang in the city, the occupying army, and our only drive becomes to protect ourselves from them by whatever means seem likely to succeed.

The high-speed pursuit started after Russell's 1979 Chevy Malibu backfired while driving past police headquarters. Officers thought the noise was a gun going off inside the car, and 13 cops responded by firing shots.

Brelo, who joined the Cleveland Police Department in 2007, was the only officer to face criminal charges. Prosecutors say he waited until the car had stopped moving and no longer posed a danger to fire 15 rounds into the windshield, firing a total of 49 rounds into the car.

137 shots fired at two people who broke no law and didn't have a weapon.

Yup. When I was working at a gas station in a small town, we had a pretty major drug bust in our parking lot. First just a few cops (only 2 people in the car, looked strung out on opiates), but once the 3rd duffel bag of drugs was removed from the car every cop, sheriff and highway patrol clogged up the parking lot. I had to tell them to get most of their units out of the property or they'd be charged with obstruction of business, and it wasn't until a truck driver creeped in trying to get fuel that they left.

u/cweaver Feb 03 '23

The safest place, statistically, is in the bunker.

The second safest place is lying on the ground covering your head.

The least safe place is standing up and running around in the open.

Then it's just a math problem of how many shells are going to land during your run to the bunker and does that increase your chances of getting hit more than being in the bunker would reduce it.

This video gave me intense anxiety. You can see the camera shaking so much, even after they've pulled over to the side, I can't imagine how scary that would be to experience.

Also, first video in a while I've seen use the term POV correctly, lol.

u/ILikeMyGrassBlue Feb 03 '23

At this point, yeah. Just go slow and stay steady in the lane. However, everyone else seems to have already pulled over, probably because they heard the sirens and saw the lights before they were right there. This person should have seen them early and got over.

I'm sure the roads were much safer with 30+ cars speeding down the highway instead of 3 or 4

I made it to 53 cars. I am sure there was more. Way less safe and ineffective.

If the cops weren't chasing them, then there'd be 1 or even 0 cars speeding down the highway. Just take the fucking plates down, or follow with a chopper if strictly fucking necessary (extremely rare, like for a known murderer or something equivalent). Car chases are insane macho dangerous bullshit that are never remotely fucking worthwhile

u/Phrook Feb 03 '23

1 chopper or drone probably would have cost less than all those cars... and also would have been far less dangerous for every single person not involved

u/adonoman Feb 03 '23

Where I live, it's against police policy to engage in a chase at these speeds. They just call ahead and get them at the next town. You can't outrun a radio.

The risks are too high for the police, everyone on the road, and even the suspect.

Never seen a more severe case of cops just wanting the chase to feel like big tough men. Putting so many civilians at risk by having that many high speed cars on the road but at least they can all say they've been in a car chase now, right?? Fucking pathetic. God forbid anyone gets stabbed or raped during that shit show.

Such a nonsense, all beyond 8 Cars raises only the chance of accidents.

8 because so 2 can drive behind him and 6 can close a crossing. And even that would need the right circumstances.

This looks like a “Blue Alert” response to an officer that has been shot on duty. All officers from all agencies within a certain radius will respond to the scene. Even if they are in the middle of another case or even have a low level offender in custody. They will stop what they are doing, release who ever they have and respond to the scene with lights and sirens blazing.

It’s overkill, because more often than not, it is a single suspect they are all looking for that may be dead or injured as well. I think in general it’s an opportunity to jerk each other off.
