All that crashing and trooper Byrd could have done it by himself!

[@williammarcus5438]

YES!!! I was thinking the same thing..WHERES THE BYRDMAN???

[@Spitts44]

They'll be a high-speed pursuit, multi-agency briefing after this one. Jesus. That was a bit of a gong show.

[@ThePepeOne]

I'll take, Who Caused This Fuster Cluck for 500$ please Alex!! 🤣😀😉

[@mjschumaker]

A SNAFU indeed!

[@Isaac_132]

I'm pretty sure the blame will be placed on the suspect they were chasing.

[@humanipulationnation]

Finally, I’ve seen too many Arkansas police videos lately where the car pulls over .

[@dianagiles9467]

Me too

[@doltbezoar]

Can't criticize for having an accident - they risk their lives every day for us and it is not easy work. A split second mistake during a chase can be disastrous, but still they give it their all. Hope everyone but the felon is ok. Still grateful for the amazing men in their police machines.

[@woodle1snurz75]

Agreed 100%

[@nootoob1]

👍

[@butterfinger1171]

Most do not do it for us.. They do it for themselves to feed there powertrips.

[@Savage844]

And you would be the first one to call them when your hands don't have the energy your mouth does.Gen z for sure 🙄

[@Isaac_132]

_"they risk their lives every day for us"_ Someone's been getting into the grape Flavor Aid.

Ok you were supposed to pit the baddie not you’re own ..wow

are we the Baddie's???

[@kenglasson2920]

Too many in pursuit perhaps.

[@piercehawke8021]

​@@kenglasson2920I'm thinking that as well; driving like a civilian could've prevented that crash but, all the cops involved were running code 3 for legit reasons.

nice pit

[@georgeruth316]

Would have been good to have an update on how the 2 Officers are after they collided especially after 3 U S Marshall's & 1 Charlotte Mecklenburg Officer were killed on Monday serving a Warrant in Charlotte N C

[@jmc2398]

I know the Sheriff, he said they were all ok.

[@brendancarlson1678]

I didn't see that coming.

[@marksellinger3736]

OK, so who the hell were they chasing?!?!

[@chloecook4511]

A stolen jeep Cherokee.

[@TechforKings]

The car literally goes right by early the video before he turns around to join the pursuit. Pay attention!

[@Alexander-gt4rc]

Public enemy number one, clearly. Osama bin Laden's brother or someone with a giant canister of anthrax.

[@scotthouston2385]

I’m all for the Arkansas boys pit maneuvering and not letting people go….. come on Mandy really need 15 cars chasing the guy? Seems like they wreck 2 to 4 nice cars every time they do this….

[@user-dd8wh3xi6u]

That way, they can keep getting newer, better, and faster cars.

[@todddavis240]

The one passing to blame? Or the one not looking before veering suddenly left? 🤔

[@joesterling4299]

In a high-speed pursuit, the guy not looking.

[@wisdomrules8474]

The pickup truck. WTH was he thinking??

[@user-hb6be4qy1k]

So many units from various agencies, how is it coordinated?

[@raymondrichard547]

OOPs

[@WannabecelebrityChris]

Too many agencies & law enforcement vehicles in the same pursuit always increases the chance of more accidents. Glad all of the officers were ok.

[@ESPLTD322]

9:32 “Ohh no you don’t… it’s our time to shine today. He’s ours.” Lol WTF WERE YOU THINKING???

What a mess. Thanks for the coverage.

Its like steering wheels could almost be optional accessories in Arkansas, I can't imagine roads as straight as this.

[@kelly00000111111]

only a matter of time until the Arkansas police chase protocols caught up with them - and all of a sudden they turn a pursuit into a inter-agency destruction derby on the public roadways... embarrassing

[@goodguy4342]

When Arkansas has no criminals to pit, they pit each other.

[@nepabaddrivers6074]

skip to 14:44 your welcome

And my insurance goes up every year without a moving violation in 25 years smh

What a total embarrassment. 😕😕

[@nickruark3693]

Good Lord!! WTF??? Was it REALLY necessary to have all those officers involved in this pursuit?

[@Neverdie242]

Sometimes you're the windshield. Sometimes you're the bug. That dude in that Ram pickup, should have stayed at home. It was more of a roadblock than anything ells. Now it's going to the junk yard.

[@scotthultin7769]

How do you spell your charge the suspect for the two officers that got in an accident because they don't know how to use their mirrors

[@joesterling4299]

Anything that goes wrong during a felony is often charged to the felon. But no, I have no idea what it would be called in this case.

[@Greg_call]

Wow. I hope all are ok.❤

I’ve been in law enforcement for 18 years and to this day, for the life of me, I cannot understand why officers pass one another. We’re trying to accomplish the same thing why in the hell are you trying to pass a unit?

Agree with the other comment... let the Trooper take the lead. However, this was a shitshow that lacked situational awareness.

I was thinking He musta done some kind of fk up to have this many agencies after you. Then i read the info, yup. he done dood them fk ups. lol

It happens when so many officers are involved in a chase. I am wondering which agency will take blame and who will pay for who's car lol

[@jackfrost3573]

It is bad enough that a car is racing down the road and no you add a several others...what could go wrong. I lost a Family member to a "police chase" the cop did the hitting. She is dead....and the "speeder" who was running got 6 months and is out on the streets now. My sister is always dead....

[@Isaac_132]

9:30 Guarantee you that the guy they were chasing will get charged for battery on a LEO or something like that for that crash between two officers.

[@worldwidepoliceinsight7084]

All charges are listed in the video description!

[@davids3257]

Imagine having to deal with the insurance agency on this one since both vehicles are on the same policy. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 The insurance company will want to give the run-around.

[@jmc2398]

Most Law Enforcement agencies are self insured.

[@weaverbr913]

There goes 100k, dunno why we need heavy ass SUV's out there... Waste of money... Then again, a couple of them might not fit in anything else and still have room for the dozen jelly donuts

[@piercehawke8021]

I'd agree but; I don't know of a police package sedan being offered even if the retail version can still be had.

[@jmc2398]

Those SUV’s can go in places a sedan cannot. I have a Tahoe at the agency I work for and have had to go off road and through creeks many times where you couldn’t get a Charger.

dont worry the taxpayers will take care of that!!!

[@jmc2398]

Officers pay taxes for those cars and their salary too but apparently the public seems to forget that.

[@marcyfalconer1275]

The Arkansas police are to crazy, they don't pay attention. It's all about who PIT's the bad guy first. What a mess. Look like amateurs.

[@jamesg2485]

That's why u back off and let state police take over,ev1 needs to go back to protection the community

[@piercehawke8021]

Exactly! Rule of thumb on at least rural pursuits is the state police or highway patrol are supposed to be lead agency since those LEOs are trained to safely deal with high speed pursuits

[@jmc2398]

Heck where I work there are no Troopers after 3 am, so we have to pursue. These things happen unfortunately.

[@jamesg2485]

@jmc2398 that's a fact,I believe only place that have troopers 24/7 is little Rock and a few others.i know here in helena we don't have them 24/7
