Queen Prawn Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 I have a hard time feeling any pity for an accused car thief who led cops on a chase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen Prawn Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 What is a bit puzzling to me is that I could swear reports were that the ER report was that the guy have just a few cuts and bruises. The toxicology report hasn't been released yet, has it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubKilla Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 Trust me when I say there are plenty of criminals out there hoping for an ass-whipping by the police in hopes of the huge pay day. The legal system in this country if an absolute joke when a car thief running from the police and endangering the life of every person he came into contact with out on the road that day can sue and potentially become a millionaire for refusing to obey a legal command to pull over. Along with his $25 million lawsuit, he should be charged by the LA County States Attorney with one count of attempted murder for every car he came in contact with that day. Plus, it would help if there was a judge with the nads out there who would throw theses types of cases out of court because of the sheer ridiculousness of it all.

MinnesotaSoxFan Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 When I saw that chase, I was waiting for him to get his ass kicked! When that happened, I kept screaming. "Kick his ass! Kick his ass!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My problem is there will be tons of people rooting for this guy to win millions of dollars, cause they think it will be some victory against the police department. The fact is this bum could have killed people and only by luck didn't run over some little kid. He deserves to go to JAIL, not become a millionaire. Jesse jackson wil be there in no time. Instead of applauding the police for getting the guy stopped and pulled over without injuring innocent people, he'll want the criminal to benefit.

If someone disobeys an order to stop and endangers innocent people, I have zero pity or concern for them. I hope this lawsuit is laughed out of court.

CubKilla Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 I hope this lawsuit is laughed out of court. It won't be. LAPD serves more people than Chicago but less than NYC. Currently, NYPD employs approximately 30,000 police officers. Chicago, approximately 12-13,000. LAPD..... Approximately 6,000. When you call LAPD's 911 emergency line you are literally put on hold and made to wait based on the perceived severity of the call. So come on cop-haters! Keep bashing the LAPD for "beating" the car thief who led the LAPD on a high speed chase attempting to elude apprehension putting all the law-abiding citizens on the road that day in danger. Pretty soon those 6,000 will say "f*** it" too and then who will police LA? The US Army and Marines? BTW..... how did the car thief come up with $25 million? Is that what he would have been paid by a fence for a lifetime of thievery? Just wondering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubKilla Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 BTW..... Fleeing and eluding a police officer in a motor vehicle should be classified as a forcible felony IMHO. A speeding car is very much as dangerous a weapon as a bullet fired from a gun. When you're driving a motor vehicle in a wanton and willful, reckless manner either during or after the commission of a crime in an attempt to evade capture by police w/o regard for the safety of those around you, the police departments involved in the chase should have the authority to "take out" the vehicle or the vehicle's operator by any and all means at the police officer's expense. If the criminal dies, he dies. Big f***ing deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldmember Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 i say if this guy wins this lawsuit those officers should be allowed to give him his money's worth... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 Especially $25 million sorry. He must really have brain damage if he thinks he can extort 25 mil from the city like that. He should get a few more swats with the flashlight for wasting the courts time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelasDaddy0427 Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 There is no way he wins this lawsuit. This does make me want to do this though, :puke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted July 19, 2004 Author Share Posted July 19, 2004 And for those who are wondering, that is $2.27 million per flashlight hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
