I don't think so? At least not yet.........it's still early and your posting, so it probably won't be long!

I saw the chase and didn't think the PIT was a bad move, but that being said shouldn't cops be held to the same standards as everyone else? If you don't follow company policy you get fired, what is so hard to understand about that? This is why cops have a bad rep right now. Hopefully they will start following the rules set for them and the public start supporting them again.

Yes I know. It was a reference to a terrible but somewhat enjoyable movie.

Haha...very true. I had mixed emotions as well.

Politics and slime ball attorneys have just about ruined every tool officers have to protect themselves. Its all about protecting the suspects not the officers. We live in a sick and disappointing society in most areas

Pit maneuver is not frowned upon most places I have seen if it is at a safe time/location like it looked like in this instance.

actually it's not, it is about protecting those at the top, like the chief, mayor and city managers,,,

Fort Worth has big issues right now. And it's going to get worse before it gets better. The pit move was not needed if an hour and a half before they had just boxed him in and stopped him. As far as the guy being stroked well . . .

But it's a bs situation for the officers. IMO they finally did the right thing and sorry *** managers and risk management screws them over.

I hate to say it again. But I will. I told you so.

They need to give the police/swat a break, what are they suppose to do wait till he kills someone? Then the public would say "The police should have done something sooner"

Friggin Political Correct stuff and treating criminals with Warm Fuzzy stuff is total BS

The cops should have put him in the wall in about 5 minutes. That Chace was a fricking joke. If you think different you need you head examined.

I guess this is why they didn't.

No one thought any different. What's your point? Do you think those officers don't need their paychecks for their families? That would like be warning you not to sell knives on Tbh because the IRS was watching the site and auditing all of the knife makers. So you quit selling knives. Then some bad arse knife maker comes on, sells a ton of knives real quick, then gets audited. Then I sit back and tell YOU, "told you so".

Exactly. Thank you.

During that slow speed chase which was followed on a long live thread - a lot of us kept thinking "why don't they just do a PIT maneuver? Some of the LEOs around here informed us that most departments don't allow PIT maneuvers. About that time we saw a SWAT vehicle swoop in and end the chase by doing a PIT maneuver. Apparently FWPD is one of those departments that prohibits using that technique - the driver is now off the SWAT team and another got his badge and gun taken for butt-stroking the perp with his weapon.

Where is Thug Sharpton? No march? No protest?

The Police need to rethink what they should and shouldn't do is all. The politicians are hanging them out to dry.
They should have just broke off the chase and went to get something to eat.
Be real careful who they arrest and if their is any chance of confrontation let them go.
Stop writing traffic tickets and cut off all the revenue.
Shots fired in a neighborhood in the middle of the night, show up in the morning
after breakfast
