High speed chase through Louisville, Clark and Floyd Counties

[indiucky]

I didn't bother counting. But there's gotta be nearly 20 cop cars. For a 45 minute chase, it's 15 man hours chasing down one purse snatcher. He p'ownd them up until the end.

What is it with Louisville crooks and the Sherman Minton Bridge?????

"Quick...Let's get to Indiana...We'll be over the state line and they'll never be able to take us back to Louisville...."

Couldn't help but think what would've happened if Chase McPickup had played more Assassin's Creed instead of Grand Theft Auto.

He would have ditched the truck and scaled Sherman Minton bridge while throwing caltrops in front of the police cars below.....Then dove into the river, grabbing a log and come out downstream in Leavenworth...Saunter up to the Overlook and order some good fried chicken while looking at flat old Kentucky across the way....

I wonder why the police officer at the crash came out of his window instead of using his door. It didn't look like there was any damage to the door.

I've been there a couple times. Nice place.

Them duke boys at it again.

Them duke boys at it again.

It WAS cooler than just using the door, though not very smooth. Better than I could do? Probably.

Them Duke boys would have cleared that last ditch.

When he first went off-roading, it was almost as if he wanted some comedy on the highlight reel.

And to think how close they got to ending it when they were on the interstate... would have helped keep him from getting the beatdown, perhaps.

The officer with the rifle in the dark car is quick! He's the one that hits the truck first and he's out and around the back of his car with his rifle up within like 3 or 4 seconds. That dude was spring loaded!

I'm totally not impressed!

Over a hundred chances to do a PITT MANUVER! When PD cars passed BG, why not shotty the rear tire out? IMO, went on too long, not enuf
done to expediently end chase. Plus LV PD beat the **** out of the guy, ISP stopped it and took him away!

Inwas thinking the same thing. That point just before he exited on Grant Line, when the three cops got in front of him, I thought they had him. I thought okay, now the one coming up on him will do a PIT on him and it's over. Then the dude just sped around them.

Part of the problem was also that there were WAY too many police involved. There were a few times they came really close to getting him and another car got in the way. They should have had him at the IU Southeast campus. It was hilarious when he used one cop car to set a pick for the one who was on his ass. So many cops just got in the way.

That's why it's really well suited for the Benny Hill theme song.

In fairness to the LEOs, I'm sure it is much harder to coordinate a a safe pit from a ground view instead of the convenient aerial viw provided by the news chopper.

The chase did go past St Mary's, though I don't think the camera ever showed more than a bit of the cemetery in front. I've driven and ridden a bicycle on most of those roads.

The officer in the dark car seemed to be the only one trying to make contact. He narrowly missed a pit on campus at IUS as well. As for the officer who climbed out his window

 

[EPeter213]

- I noticed his rear door was damaged, so it may have been enough to interfere with the front door latch

Not every LEO can perform a PIT maneuver. The department has to have a formal policy on it and the LEO's must also be properly trained. The crimes they're pursing him for have to be considered as well. It's not as easy as ramming any car that leads LE on a pursuit.
