🚔 ~ This is excellent. Other law enforcement agencies that don’t have this are putting innocent people at risk and it’s horrible. They want to save money on their budget by not buying this which is actually inexpensive at either $5000 or even half of that depending on how many an agency buys.
Just think about it, a cop saving one crash where nobody is hurt pays for itself. Even a simple crash costs a family insurance deductibles which raises insurance for all the rest of us. Often times the family doesn’t have full coverage and neither does the car running away. So then their family is severely hurt financially. And then of course it doesn’t even address if someone is hurt or killed and goes through pain for the rest of life due to their injuries.
but a lot of the problem is a citizens. We want taxes rock-bottom and we want services sky high. When we see that the government is spending more money we get mad even though them spending more money in this case is actually saving all of us money but when a family has to pay a deductible or insurance companies have to pay money and so all of our insurance prices raised five dollars a month, we don’t really know the reason those prices have raised and we don’t know where that’s coming from. But when the government spends more money we see a huge price tag and so it feels like it’s more than it really is.
Only thing I’ll mention is only having two cars outfitted with this seems very bad. I would say at least 1/3 of the vehicles in a department that are out on the road patrolling would need them.b
So Eagan PD has more sense than Los Angeles PD where there are more fleeing suspects than any other state.
this would NEVER work with a Dodgr Cummins dually, i'd just lock it 4wd and punch it.. theyre coming along for a ride haha
Cant really understand why so much of a persecution if they gonna let them out of jail in less than 2 days. The system in Minneapolis is really a joke.
What did the criminal look like?
So if someone was going a 100 mph and you throw it out and snare them it will cause them and you idot cops to flip over or twirl in circles like a lasso
Doesn't matter. Mary will set them free.
ICE was in the U-Haul
Xdumd asss ops. Pigs 🐷

Grab, the “bad one’s” there’s no more, getting away – nice, try though 🙄😂

Dakota County law and order versus Hennepin Cty social justice! We know the local sensitive caring urban media is on the side of social justice warriors , criminals, and against law-abiding citizens!
