Ok so the cops shoot this 14 kid who stole a bulldozer and drove around fucking things up. 15 cop cars following a bulldozer. What a bunch of idiots. Send 2 cops and have them drive up next to him, jump up there and pull his little punk ass out. But it takes about 30 grown trained law enforcement officers and guns to stop 1 14 year old kid. Your tax dollars at work.

Our society is nothing but pussies. The cops tell us to let them handle things like this and dont interfere without them. Then they handle things in the worst way possible. Shit I would have jumped on the thing with a kitchen knife and beat the shit out of the kid if he is coming towards my house.

[pr0]

5.0million in damage

v.s. 1 dead kid

Yes that much damage because they followed the kid 15 miles.

[stev0]

If he was speeding towards me in a fucking bulldozer i'd shoot his ass too....

no im just saying, he mighta plowed down a house, we can't have that

the fact is, the cops spend years waiting for a chance to pull a trigger sometimes

and abuncha rednecks prolly said hey, assault with deadly weapon, lets shoot em for fun

[BoyAlley]

Greetings:

If you had read, the little fucker was driving the thing downhill toward a bunch of patrol cars that had cops in them.

I would have shot the little son of a bitch too if he came rolling down the hill towards me.

"We're assuming he was going to go over the vehicles in the roadway with the officers in them," Miller said.

Damn even in the OH SO VIOLENT movies, the cops just jump out of the fucking way with some common sense.

""We're assuming he was going to go over the vehicles in the roadway with the officers in them," Miller said."

Ok remember the scene in Austin Powers, Austins driving the steamroller slowly towards someone & he's screaming NOoooooo in slow motion

Half the cops were probably too fat to move out of the way in time, so they had to shoot to save them.

[reynold]

Though it's the cop who practically took the boy's life, I think the parents should be blame for that incident!

This kid was out of control and a danger for probably a lot of other people. I think they did right and shoot him.

What the fuck do you think they do to a terrorist when he starts to swing with a gun (also life threatening). You think they gonna ask him to give his gun? I don't think os.

[megatgpdotnet]

This world is sick.

[JamesK2]

Sick shit on both sides. Police never seems to have a smart plan to stop hijackers.

[Muff]

Any of you guys see the cop chase where the guy was going down the highway in a tank stolen from a military base? The tank wasn't armed but they ended up shooting the guy to get him to stop his rampage.

This is a similar incident with a similar result.

What if he knocked over a another hydro line and it crushed someone? Or ran over a car with someone in it?

I think they had enough reason to take him out. The kid is lucky he is alive.

[Cassie]

they had to do what they had to do. if i saw that coming at me, i would shoot at him too.

[adonthenet]

crazy country =\

[gecko]

Stupid kid...

I dont want to get into a long drawn out debate over who is right and who is wrong. You have your opinion and I have mine.

But let me ask you this: Should the police have allowed the kid to continue on his destructive rampage and risk killing innocent people?

If the police had done nothing, and the kid had killed someone, the police would be liable.

[FilthyRob]

That's just lame. Slowest pursuit ever.

[who]

Well, why the fuck does the world need a kid like that anyway?!

So what were they doing for the 15 m,iles they were chasing him?

Maybe stopping for an ice cream on every corner.

Was asked by a Californian if it was safe to live in Czech, he was thinking of coming over for a holiday but worried about his safety.

Had to laugh, he lived in LA.

[keyboard warrior]

to bad no video

[Terry]

HAHAHAHAHA shoot first ask questions later.

[Vitasoy]

What was the kid thinking. Sheesh

[xXxtreme2005]

look how effective tazers have been recently....they should've used them!

[Rebecca Love]

I was gonna say that.......zap zap OUCH!

[psili]

Granted we were all there, witnessed everything and thus can make our own judgments on what should have happened. Being there myself with the rest of you and seeing some fucking punk ass kid steal a bulldozer and drive it up to 30 mph tearing shit up in residential neighborhoods, I'm happy the little fucker was shot.

[candyflip]

Something similar happened like this on the street over from me about 18 months ago or so.

14 year old kid stole a car and was driving it around crashing into EVERYTHING.

When the cop finally got him cornered in, he tried to run them over and they filled him full of lead.

There was some outcry from the local black community (kid was black) but the city as a whole backed the officers 100%.

They thought that the reason they shot the kid was because he was black?

[Furious_Male]

Wait I am confused. Weren't they supposed to Taser him. They love the Tasers. During the start of the slow persuit someone should have boarded that big thing and tasered his ass.

Real bullets are more fun though. /sarcasm

Sounds like the kid was on a suicide mission regardless. I am sure they ran out of options.

[candyflip]

I think they thought it had something to do with it.

[taibo]

they had no choice

[adultguus]

Send 2 cops and have them drive up next to him, jump up there and pull his little punk ass out.

Any idea what happens when this nice kid decides make a turn when a police car is driving next to him? May be you didn't understand the story, it's a real bulldozer not a toy one.

I wonder how you stop a moron kid that's driving around in a stolen bulldozer fucking things up?

What if he'd been fucking your shit up with the bulldozer?

Before you go jumping up on a moving bulldozer, I suggest you go take a look at one up close as in stand next 2 a D8 or D9 Cat.

[Steve]

since when do we hire Indiana Jones to be a cop? They suddenly leap from moving cars onto bulldozers?

they should be reprimanded for not shooting this little shitstain within the first 60 seconds.

Stop! Police! (first 10 seconds)
Halt! Police officer! (20 seconds)
Stop, or we'll open fire! (30 seconds)

If you cant obey armed cops, you are too fucking stupid to worry about.

[NTSS]

It's simple....steal a fucking bulldozer...tear shit up...You may possibly be shot or even killed in the process...That's what I hate about kids..They don't weigh the consequences of their actions.

[Pipecrew]

I think if it was possible they should of tazered him (those things have 25 ft range, the police issue ones) and that will knock you on your ass..

or shot him with a beanbag shotgun

Pepper Spray would of been out of the question heh

[MetaMan]

stupid post.

parents blamed for what? the kid is 14 and knows what is wrong or right, he was just trying to cause some shit.

and its the parents fault he was gunned down?

[SetTheWorldonFire]

He should have ran the cops over

[galleryseek]

all you fucking crybabies "wahhh wahhhhhhh - the cops shouldn't have shot him"



you rampage through town with a g'damn bulldozer, getting shot in the process is an expectation.

[kaylacruz]

how did he get the keys?

[Mr Pheer]

Looks more like a large tractor to me... but i still wouldnt go jumping it.. if you missed and those huge rear wheels ran over you, you'd be dead for sure.

[eddie-executive]

Only in America guns solve every problem

[sperbonzo]

Ok....I just have to say, that you guys are nuts when you think that the police could have jumped on or used a taser.

Actually that picture is of a piece of equipment called a SCRAPER. (I know, because I spent 2 years as a heavy equipment operator with all kinds of equipment)

They are about the length of a tractor trailer truck,

they can drive FAST,

and they turn REALLY quick by articulating with hydrolics right behind the cab.

I would NEVER in a million years drive up next to one at 30 mph trying to jump on or shoot the kid with a taser from 25 feet away.

All the kid would have to do is just jerk the wheel over and you would be CRUSHED.

It would have been sucide to try it.

I just WISH you people would have been there, and tried to pull that stunt, the kid would have killed your silly asses.

I agree, how can you have sympathy for anyone who drives around destroying things with earthmoving equipment. I'm sure if you were in his path / trying to stop him you wouldn't be taking any chances.

[sniperwolf]

now go to your room... you're grounded your whole life!

I'll give you a buck fitty if you can jump from any car to another car at 30mph

Yeah, didn't think so

How would they be held liable? THEY DID NOTHING FOR 15 miles WORTH OF DAMAGE! There were tons of things they could have done, drive a fucking cop car head on into it and stop the bitch. Come on, they will pay more than the cost of a cop car to deal with the paperwork of shooting someone.
