Dad Calls Cops on Son to Teach Him a Lesson, Cops Shoot Son Dead

Too many of these car chases result in some innocent deaths.

They knew it was ONLY a stolen car? No, with the way this guy was acting, I don't see it far fetched to find out the guy was high on PCP, about to embark on a rampage or some other highly dangerous shit.

What is innocent?

Certainly he was guilty of attempted murder by the time they ended up shooting him.

Did you watch the dash cam vid? The chase is VERY short. This dude no doubt would have ran one of those guys down had he had a chance. By the time the radio is telling him to back off he is already being smashed into multiple times by the truck, and has it slowed to a crawl.


Again, I pretty much do not like cops. But in this case, dude had it comin.

Lotta speculation in your post.

I was replying to the post where he said they KNEW it was ONLY a stolen car. (speculation~)

The only speculation I did was that they didn't KNOW it was ONLY a stolen car. And that the guy would have run a cop down. Again, if you watch the dash cam, I think its an educated guess.

That's rarely the consensus around here.

Not like the cops have to pay for the car.

You ram a cop in his car, multiple times, you are going to eat some lead. **** that stupid douche. One less moron walking the Earth and taking up Oxygen.

Good to know that when a cop is aware of a stolen car......all he needs to do is not pursue.....you'll get him later.

Just pull over whenever you're done with the car and meet us down at the police station.

I doubt I'd take a stolen vehicle report if the kid lived at home and has had access to the truck on a routine basis to start off with. But I know if I was about to get run over or saw anyone about to get run over, it would be a game changer.

Honest question: do you get to refuse a call if you want to?

When the caller is confused to the "crime". In the instance I was referring (based on some similar calls in the past) it was a civil and family matter. Criminally speaking; the kid could claim a right to the property because he used it on a regular basis so it's not a "crime" that I enforce. Once a court has ruled a family or civil issue, it becomes criminal and I can enforce the judges rulings.

I would tell dad to parent up, go to family court, file restraining order, change the locks, take back keys, sack up, etc. long before I took a stolen vehicle report. But the situation I was referring to may or may not match up to the OP

People need to watch the dash cam video. The article makes it sound like it's a medium speed chase where the kid pulls over at the end and then refuses to get out of the truck. That's not even close to what happened.

Yep. The article really doesn't match up with the vid. It's a game-changer for sure.

People don't want to mess around with silly things like facts when they are just going to get into the way of their cop-hating.

The father of a friend of mine in college was the Chief of Police in Wichita. If cops pursued a high speed chase through a populated civilian area on his watch, he would have had their ass.
