The thing to do is back off the pursuit, WAY WAY off, and let the helicopter follow. This kind of thing has been followed for a while now, is why more and more departments are implementing no-pursuit policies except in extreme cases. It's just STOOOOOPID to suggest deadly force when to get that close, you could just take a tire out or ram, etc. Breaking a law does not automatically make it acceptable to kill someone.

Good job however I believe at times the officers asking permission to engage when the danger to the public is so extreme shows how micro-management and political rules impede on law enforcement being able to make skilled decisions in situations. The lack of enforcement ahead of the suspect to block of intersections in the path of the chase increased danger to citizens. Also once law enforcement allowed the suspect to crash and enough time to proceed to car jack another vehicle shows they are giving the criminal to much space and time to continue. Use of deadly force would have used once the man attempted to car jack another person IF crossfire was clear of any people IF given the chance to end this danger to the public. Many pedestrians nearly lost their lives and the child in the stroller. Respect to the law enforcement however learn from this situation how to end this much sooner and safer if possible.

@@jasonlopez4855 The police aren’t driving as recklessly, so they’re not going at the same rate of speed as the suspect unless they can without being reckless.

[@xraider927]

First, the city streets is not a freeway. Second, they got a helicopter. And third, the cops on the ground don't want to wreck anybody on a major scale during a chase like this, as the roads before the end of this chase are a bit narrow and too crowded to do a tactic...Even there's a bike lane on either sides. This is not NFS Most Wanted-ish type of pursuits.

[@StephenDoty84]

The way those people just gave up that Mustang without a fight shows the importance of martial arts and boxing. Imagine if it happened to be Conor McGregor's convertible by chance.

[@GeekBoyMN]

They were probably still dazed a bit from the crash a few seconds earlier.

Between him and his trash daddy they have over *30* *ARRESTS* combined???

Gotta love how they ask permission to ram the car causing all the mayhem but no big deal slam into the innocent bystanders car and let the mustang go 🤦🏼‍♂️

For all of you looking for the part with the corvette, the thumbnail.... it is at the 8:30 mark. Thanks.

[@johnlaycock583]

I find it troubling that there are no law enforcement officers trying to stop him. Whats up?

[@taijisyxom6888]

Difficulty? That chase seemed very difficult. I'm not counting the number of risks. I've seen easier chases, just saying

[@7enty7en83]

At that point during the chase, if they fishtail him, he would end up crashing into a pedestrian or a car

[@nancy-katharynmcgraw2669]

So, the officer t-boned a private citizen's car anyway? He couldn't turn his steering wheel so he'd miss that innocent car/driver. I saw a person rolling on the ground, on the smashed car's right side... ? EMS ?

[@mattk1649]

You saw that cop miss him and strike the other civilian car 😂😂😂 12:20

[@rayharvey1330]

Too bad his parents didn't raise him better...🧐

I wish the police chases on the news in the LA area looked like this. All we get to see most of the time is a real tight shot of the fleeing vehicle.

[@rickelpers1820]

I’m sure there’s protocol for not just shooting the Basturd. But as I watch this , I’d be hard pressed not to shoot him . Whether or not it kills him is beside the point. I was hoping for him to get attacked by an alligator. That would have been excellent to see.

What happened at the end

[@james3452]

If this was in South America; there would be an officer in a helicopter; pumping .308 rounds into that vehicle; until it came to a stop. Why isn't that done here?

[@dkman2540]

This piece of crap's father Lunford Sr. passed away January 12, 2022...RIP...but he and the rest of the family sure raised someone that is a danger to the general public and communities. No regard for innocent people going about their daily lives. I am sure his family will be looking to place blame on anyone else including the police [ie: why did they have to chase my son...he is a loving person and the cops scared him...etc...] and will try and file lawsuits if they can.

[@robertf7610]

Of course, he's a "victim" lol. "My poor baby why they going to pick on him?".

[@beau8302]

Honestly, that was just embarrassing. Especially the first officer that finally caught up to him several minutes before the crash. He was pathetic. You could tell he was scared when he said "permission to ram him". Yes, dummy. But he still could do it, even with a fish-tailing car with a blown rear tire. His dumb reaction, hesitations, fear and poor decision-making, nearly got a baby in a stroller ran over. Send these cops to Arkansas for training on how to take out a fleeing vehicle.

[@kopazwashere]

Seconded on reckless ramming. I would imagine ramming permission is for confirmation so he doesnt get hooked.

Good question, but have you considered asking that about police officers who receive paid administrative leave included with no jail time from shooting an unarmed civilian? I'd suggest thinking about that for a bit
