surprised the officers actually hit the guy with their shots. ;)

surprised this kind of thing doesn't happen more frequently since there are so many chases on live tv.

Pull a gun on the cops and get shot. Obviously he's not very bright.

I saw that on TV yesterday. Yeah, the guy pretty much deserved it. But you know there will be protests and other crap from all the retard hippies.

Does anyone remember about 6 years ago in LA some guy decided to stop on an interchange here in LA and open up a banner in the middle of the freeway? It said something about HMOs and how they screwed over his wife who had died. Then he went into his truck and detonated some kind of bomb. But it didn't work that well and only burned him and his DOG up. He ran out of the truck half on fire, rolled around and put himself out. Then he went back in the truck, grabbed his shotgun put it in his mouth and blew his head off. All on live TV that they had interrupted kids cartoons for. And they were fully zoomed in on him when he did it. VERY bloody. I remember after that all the high speed chases weren't as interesting to watch because all the news channels would zoom way out just in case. But that has since gone away slowly. I'm sure after this they might start zooming out again.

i saw the end of the edited clip. i just saw him get out of the car and run away. cops started shooting immediately.

they didnt shoot OJ Simpson after his car chase in his White Bronco.

what made them shoot this guy immediately as he was trying to run in the other direction?

He had a gun

Edit: He also was a dangerous person with a car if he ran away with a gun he could kill someone or taken them hostage.

"The driver, whose identity was not immediately released, was shot after he jumped out of the car with a gun in his hand, and seemed to be heading toward a shopping center, police said. "

He had a gun in his hand, OJ didn't.

The reporter was really reaching for drama there when he said the car "narrowly" avoided hitting a guy and his daughter. I saw the clip and the guy and his daughter were on the sidewalk next to the building while the car never even touches the sidewalk. It stays on the street.

The fact that he had a gun in his hand?

Edit-They should have shot OJ just on principle.

They always do that... it's never that close. If you watch 'World's Wildest Police Chases' ... they always make it seem like the bad guy did the worst thing in the world and the cops could do no wrong.

A happy ending for all. A degenerate doesn't get to mooch off the system only to get released and do it again and the tax payers save money.
