if it feels like pursuits are going
crazy it's because they are we've got
cars bashing mirrors spinning out going
over curbs losing tires burning rubber
and even people running and doing
cartwheels
and
cars sliding around like they are on
skates let's take a look but first over
the weekend two trooper squads were
assigned to respond to a car blocking
traffic this happens all the time it's a
black suv blocking the line of traffic
and troopers already have a spidey sense
that something is going on because
they've got one trooper squad that came
around back and the other trooper car is
pulling up to the front nose to nose
bumper to bumper they know something is
up something's not right they ask for an
additional squad and now take a look
because there's movement in the black
suv it starts to move forward hits the
squad in front of them driver's going to
throw it into reverse now forward again
hitting the squad pushing ramming it
ramming that squad out of the way you
won't see this type of video anywhere
else no other media is covering it and
no one has content like this incredible
restraint no shots fired there's not any
real use of force involved and
everything that happened there by those
troopers was very patient and clearly
they're using restraint in their
response even though they might be
justified to do something they're
clearly using restraint they're not
going to engage in a pursuit whether
they want into a pursuit mode or not it
doesn't matter because the vehicle is
coming right back at them that's the
vehicle coming head on in the camera now
they go through the red light gonna blow
the red light now we're going the wrong
way we're going eastbound in the
westbound lanes this is about 1 30 a.m
over the thanksgiving day weekend any
crash now would involve absolutely
enormous forces thankfully they narrowly
missed that vehicle and they took the
next exit i mean going the wrong way on
the freeway is just way too dangerous
again huge forces involved in any type
of head-on collision and higher velocity
crashes are a force multiplier they did
turn off their lights if you look
closely and play that back the state
patrol said this was an active
investigation and that two of their
squads were struck this car is just
flying this is in vaness heights
november 30th 12 39 am driver of a
previously carjacked vehicle is trying
to escape from police so we've got a
violent crime involved van nuys heights
a suburb in the northeast metro the
vehicle is going to exit the freeway
going way too fast come into a
roundabout have a big strike on that
curb which is going to largely prevent
the vehicle from attempting high speeds
again plus we've got the pit coming in
state troopers or ramsey county deputies
coming in spinning it out to fully
disable it but it's not over yet and
they're not giving up if we could give a
letter grade a for effort here by this
criminal who is definitely in a lot of
trouble and not at all going to get away
but they are running super hard great
sprint potential
i think their real career should be
something with athletics maybe
kinesiology they're going to end up on
the roof of that location police have to
call out a canine but ultimately
apprehended just because you're on the
roof of something doesn't mean you're
going to get away now this one is a
vehicle that fled from attempted an
attempted traffic stop exited northbound
i-35e at cayuga street this is saint
paul area kind of the west side of the
metro excuse me east side of the metro
before they also
got defeated by a curb turning after
that stop light pretty sure the trooper
thought about a pit right there
ultimately decide against it thanks to
mn crime which originally reported this
and several other chases that we covered
please please give them a follow
helicopter overhead both suspects ended
up ditching the vehicle running on foot
and ended up in custody on this one
pursuit of a mazda6 four-door sedan with
stolen plates who knows what type of
nefarious activity they're up to with
this car since the plates are stolen
vehicle was heading eastbound on ie 394
they deployed stop sticks did get a
successful stop stick deployment before
the driver exited northbound on penn ave
from 394 and if you look at that clip if
you look at that video again definitely
looks like they knocked side mirror off
the vehicle as they side swiped past
that car officers did find this vehicle
unoccupied near pennsylvania and
hawthorne in minneapolis next i-35e we
don't know a lot of details it's about
this it's hard to keep all these
straight again we're talking about 20
chases over a four day period that
trooper did a nice job trying to get in
that pit there at the last minute before
they started into a residential
neighborhood you can see them shutting
down that chase officers carefully
weighing the pros and cons of chasing
into a neighborhood i-694 westbound at
university avenue just north of columbia
heights north of minneapolis that car
was definitely struggling to keep its
lane i think it's got deflated tires
which is certainly going to lower the
speeds involved and give them some
control issues here comes our pit
attempt and unfortunately it goes a
little awry and the trooper's car is
going to slide into that guardrail
meanwhile we're going to have pet
attempt number two which ends up being
highly successful notice one law
enforcement officer running up to the
vehicle a little atypical as normally
you want to see a felony stop from a bit
of a distance they may have had good
reasons to run up on the car but one
thing to keep in mind is it exposes the
officer to more risk a lot more risk if
the vehicle ends up in motion again
which greatly increases the chances of a
major use of force incident or injury to
the officer sometimes an officer needs
to put themselves temporarily at higher
risk in order to get something under
control and contrast with the first
video an officer in black appears right
at the hood of suv so if it starts
moving you're going to have an injured
officer or a major use of force or both
thankfully cuz suspect taken into
custody without further incident the
squad that did strike the guard rail
looks like the damage was only to the
front passenger side of that squad
ultimately towed from the scene no news
on potential injuries involved but
relatively low speeds then as we were
editing this video together as we were
editing it this chase happened traveling
all the way from the far northeast metro
of lino lakes down to the west central
metro it went on for a dozen or more
miles this is highway 100 at highway 55
lino lakes police in pursuit of felony
suspects for theft they stole about
1200. reportedly uh fitbits and just
between you and me i wouldn't wear a
fitbit if you gave it to me for free but
that's just a personal preference curves
are stopping criminals so lionel lakes
taking full advantage of that
opportunity to pit and that is a
perfectly executed pit see officers
staying back doing a felony stop nice
thing
is it looks like they fully disable that
vehicle smoke and kind of tire
smoldering is coming out i don't want
anything anything more significant than
a pet has occurred it's just it's just
tire smoke but both suspects wisely gave
up to police and surrendered peacefully
169 northbound in the west metro this is
all about stop sticks stop sticks stop
sticks it's a great deployment looks
like it got multiple tires probably
three tires maybe all four hat tip to
the officers deputies and troopers out
there that anticipate these chases get a
great stop stick deployment like this
stop sticks are the turning point in a
ground-based pursuit the odds of capture
trying 90 or higher once you hit them
with those sticks they're on 394 heading
back into downtown minneapolis if this
continues that's 394 eastbound from 169
but you can see their car is really
starting to struggle and there's smoke
and tire debris and looks like they are
really losing their tires fast we're
starting to get to these lower speeds
where a pit becomes a safer option for
both officers and suspects looks like
they maybe tried it there weren't quite
caught up to that rear quarter panel
still continuing 394 coming into the st
louis park area right before minneapolis
that car is really struggling really
uneven we've got the front passenger
side tired just on rims now the tires
one of the tires is out of there so our
criminal has endured longer than the
vehicle maybe you're even feeling a
little sorry for the vehicle at this
point of course there's the pit looks
like it happened at about 12 15 maybe 20
miles an hour so so really a pretty safe
speed all things considered the suspect
is out of the car before the car even
stopped they are doing hurdles i don't
think that car on the freeway break or
saw them whatsoever given that it's dark
at night and you know they are so pumped
full of fear and adrenaline that they
cannot even stay on their feet they're
doing cartwheels and falling and
tripping and i don't know if there's a
chemical issue or intoxication involved
but they will absolutely not give up
what's crazy smart about the twin cities
is there doesn't have to be a copter
overhead it's hard to get away with the
technology involved in these high def
high zoom traffic cameras for these
events we get a notification from our
own homegrown chase notification system
we pull these from the live stream and
the real streams that they get back in
the center are even higher quality full
hd if you slow it down you can see the
taser site on them they're running into
a new apartment complex that's those
five over one mixed-use condos and
retail spaces that spring up all over
the place built of timber hopefully you
know what i'm talking about they're
running back there into a courtyard this
condo advertises its own lazy river if
that's your thing check it out but
anyway the suspect they're still being
tracked on camera and you know this
camera's zooming in about a quarter mile
half a mile to get these views and if
you squint you can see that they're
surrendering you get a little bit of
that red dot from the taser site and now
we've got them in custody and we're
doing our perp walk one thing i would
say
maybe we defund police lights a little
bit this seems like an excessive amount
of flashing and that's meant as a wall
intention joke it's not very funny and
i'm sorry then down the street this is
the same general area i-394 it looks
like they had terminated this pursuit
but the person was still trying to get
away and clearly not in great control of
their vehicle and so it ended up sliding
and hitting a very big curb or okay a
wall officers were still nearby pulled
up on this scene the vehicle stopped
temporarily at these metering on-ramps
because this is happening at rush hour
they dropped off a passenger who goes
over the fence starts running down the
slope there into a little area to park
or green space this is heading into
minneapolis main thoroughfare police are
going to do a canine track where the
passenger was dropped off driver
continues in that second to left lane
but the car is already damaged and not
in great shape so when they try to do a
wild this wild turn they're gonna lose
control again let's zoom in the car is
upside down the driver also ran from the
scene so by the time we zoom in the
driver is already gone police squads
pull up to manage the crash again great
camera zoom they do get them in custody
like subscribe share we can keep you
informed without wasting a minute of
your time
