Houston Police Car Chase

[da loser]

LOL, the guy was robbing a dry cleaners. been driving around for 2 hrs. ran through backyards, golf courses, etc.

they spiked him when he ran through a toll way, lost both his front tires.

and ran into a creek. he's currently sitting in his car in the water. and police have him surrounded from the overpass.

Surrendered

It's on CNN TV and website.

 

[da loser]

I wonder if their producer is telling them to constantly plug sirius radio, or they're just paranoid.

they keep mentioning the robber might be listening on satellite sirius radio to CNN headline news, so they don't want to give any details to the suspect.

a policy officer is currently hiding in the bushes, and they didn't want to give away the cop's position by mentioning him, so they gave a bunch of not so subtle hints to the tv audience :laugh:

That guy is one of the most incredible drivers I have ever seen. I watched almost all 2 hours of the chase.

 

[da loser]

I like how he used the overpass concrete as a nascar track to turn after his front two tires were out.

WTF, how long does it take a SWAT team to show up?

"creek"

not "river" or "canal"

 

[ThePresence]

Why is he just sitting there, seems kinda pointless. He should just give up.

 

[da loser]

maybe he'll go out Harrison Ford fugitive style, and escape into the sewers nearby.

And just what do you think SWAT can do in a car chase? Do you know what they are trained for? It's not chase intervention.

Watching it now.

Good PR for the Chevy Z-71 truck. That thing was tough!

They said on the feed I'm watching that they were waiting for SWAT. Not for the chase, but afterwards.

For those interesting in watching.

They need more help. I only see 48 police cars and 113 cops. I'd call in the DEA, FBI, CIA, ATF, LAPD, Chuck Norris and Star Jones.

 

[ThePresence]

Ok, this is boring the hell out of me. Tell me what happens.

 

[SmoochyTX]

He gave up. He's in custody. It's all over.

LOL, I love how the picture you posted is now a picture of Condi. WTF?

i watched the whole thing live. he was a pretty good driver. didn't hurt anyone. had no clue where he was going. after he lost his front tires it was over. then they just sat there for 2 hours w/o doing anything at all until he gave himself up.
