Any crime with a gun should be automatic trial as an adult. We are too soft on criminals in the US.

Too soft on real criminals, too harsh on bullshit like minor drug possession offenses. Any conviction for a crime committed with a loaded weapon should be life imprisonment.

Everytime race is mentioned it is muted or cut?
Interesting. I assumed the victim was avoiding the question which I thought was weird.

The leg shown looks black. It was probably edited to avoid racist commentary, but the dispatcher's questions should have been edited out also. Now most of the comments are why it was edited. lol

the first 8 minutes of that video can be completely skipped
If for nothing else than to stop listening to the conversation.

"What kind of car did they steal?"
-"A metallic blue Jeep."
"Ok, a Jeep. What color is it?"
-"Metallic Blue."
"Alright, and you said that a car came up behind you as well?"
-"Yes. They're behind the Jeep."
"Ok. Is this Jeep the one they stole?"

(Not quite, but some of it is like an Abbott and Costello routine. Oh well, I guess emergencies can't all be orderly.)



But that crash.....what the hell? "I can't read the license plate on that white SUV. It looked like it might be funny! Go back!" <crash>

Or a last tweet: "got sweet nrew ride, handls good. brb, cops."

He took that turn too fast and had severe understeer.

He's 16. He's about as good a driver as a blindfolded Asian girl after several beers. Or worse, a blindfolded cabbie after 1 beer.

Could that have been it though, he was trying to take a hard right turn at >40mph? Was it his first time operating something with wheels, even at that age? Good god...
Maybe he figured that time spent playing GTA 5 had prepared him adequately.


(My city's cabbies, blindfolded but without any beers, would have spent the time after the crash swearing loudly at the post and any cars nearby, while also lighting up for a smoke.)

The next video in the playlist is a guy losing control of a lambo at 185mph,

Could have started with that one.

We are by far the world leader in amount of people incarcerated. We have WAY more people in jail than any other country, period, and way more per capita than any other 1st (or 2nd/3rd) world nation.

Over 50% of whom are locked up for drug related offenses.

No it doesn't, neither does the car you can see too, but I don't see color where color doesn't exist. Now I'm not saying the perp wasn't black, but the arm especially looks very light, almost my color. Which nobody would mistake for black.

If the perp were white, I don't think he would've censored it.
Clearly he doesn't want the video to be about race, but about making better choices in life.

That's fine and dandy, but the person I replied to said the leg looks like it belongs to a black person, no it doesn't. Maybe the censoring of the audio subconsciously effected his perception of what he thought he saw. I don't know.

LOL the female dispatcher....

"The blue honda... what color was it?"

Reminds me of ordering at Qudoba

Me: I'll have chicken nachos
Employee: What type of meat do you want?

Video was pretty boring. I noticed the carjacker used his turn signal for almost every lane change and turn he made though.

Not to make this about race, but you are wrong. Screenshots have been posted on other websites and everyone agrees that the leg definitely looks black.

sad state we're in that people are posting screen shots to prove what race the thief is.

Sigh; pretty much summarizes US justice policy over the last 30 years.

Also can you really tell whether they were black or hispanic or italian from the knee screen cap? Car theft is more of a latino thing I thought.
