AMF. That looks like it hurt. A lot. "We're all travelers in this world. From the sweet grass to the packing house. Birth 'til death. We travel between the eternities." | |||

I don't think there's anything the semi- driver could have done. It appeared to me that opposite direction traffic had been stopped, so the semi- driver was just sitting there. And you are correct...thank GOODNESS ol' Alphonso hit the trailer and not any innocent by-standers, though it is reported in the YT video that Alphonso, the Mensa, did try to hit oncoming cars head on. THANKFULLY he only took his own no good, white trash, skinny ass out... "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

That was a hell of an impact. It’s amazing he was conscious after that crash. A hit like that and I would have expected it to be lights out. Ripping off the axles from a semi trailer requires a bit of force. It sucks that the stolen Charger hit the semi but it hit it in a good spot and thankfully no innocent bystanders were injured. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The price of liberty and even of common humanity is eternal vigilance | |||

I wonder if he buckled his safety belt? And maybe there was no time, but why not get the other motorists further away from where they deployed the stop strips? What happened was entirely predictable. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

Absolutely, this scum bag fucked up his whole day. I'm just glad he hit straight on the trailer and not the cab or the minivan behind him. _____________________________________ "We must not allow a mine shaft gap." | |||

When he hit the truck, I thought, "Damn, he hit that hard." Then the bodycam showed the trailer on its side and I thought, "Holy. Moly." Year V | |||

He sure as hell submarined that trailer. "I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . .

That officer that pulled those sticks is awfully lucky. I'm glad it all worked out in the end. | |||

Well, it did kind of channel him so he couldn't avoid the stop sticks. _________________________________________________________________________ “A man’s treatment of a dog is no indication of the man’s nature, but his treatment of a cat is.

I bet that is now a training video for Colorado Highway Patrol. Was the car the Trooper's or the Captain's. I'm guessing there was some consequences for this incident. | |||

Wow, the fact that he went into a trailer injuring no one is a miracle. How no innocent people were injured is amazing, it could have been extremely bad. I wonder if the ones paying attention to what was happening abandoned their vehicles or if the majority stayed in their vehicles? I know if I saw them lay out stop sticks I'd be no where near that highway. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

Yeah, someone REALLY wasn't thinking there. Let's stop all the traffic right where we're going to blow the tires off a speeding car. That was pretty stupid. They're lucky they only ruined one innocent guy's life and didn't kill other bystanders in the process. | |||

Well, given the circumstances it all ended well enough. However: After the initial pursuit, they PITTED him. Then cuffed/stuffed him. Find a gun in his car. Then this idiot was left unattended and unobserved in the patrol car. And off he goes again. And its a pretty fair guess the stolen patrol car had a rifle in it. Where I worked, if I had left him alone in my car and this adventure resulted, I would probably be taking a 90 day unpaid vacation and be lucky to keep my job.

It was the car belonging to the trooper who performed the PIT maneuver on him. The Captain's car was stopped behind the suspect's car. | |||

There is potential that that was a career limiting move for the Trooper. Allowing a patrol car with weapons on board to be stolen by a handcuffed suspect doesn't look good on a promotion application. That could have ended up a lot worse than it did. It's lucky for all involved that he tagged the rear wheels on the trailer and not the cab or one of the other occupied vehicles off to the side. I noticed he nearly lost control of the patrol car several times, I'll guess this was because his hands were cuffed together and he was having issues steering. I didn't notice, where his hands cuffed back to back, palms out?

Why didn't the trooper's car have a cage? That would've stopped the idiot from driving off. Ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity DISCLAIMER: These are the author's own personal views and do not represent the views of the author's employer. | |||
