haha YES!!!

Ill bet that pursuit video wont be on tv..

[gretz]

police are looking for 2 white males

[sputnik]

How hard is it to find 2 white males in the NE?

[whiskas]

Obligatory NE comment.

I just re-read the article...HAWCS followed the truck as it came back in, but in keeping with their strict policy on pursuits, CPS kept the ground units away. The problem came when the bad guys decided to go to the mall- cruisers had to race in there, and until backup arrives, they're limited to the few cops they have, and its a tossup- surround the mall and risk having them change clothes and slip by you, or race in after them and risk losing them completely.

I would have thought that K9 could have found them with the mall locked down though?

These guys watcc TV. They changed their clothes and appearance and walked out!

This chase went right past the front of our dealership.. it was quite the sight... buddy was rippin along on rims... sparks flying everywhere... there was at least 25 cop cars following him as well... not a bad end to a monday....

fail for the CPS....

[lilmira]

They probably wrapped their heads with towels, put fake beard and shoe polish on their faces and walked right out.

sounds like some poor police work, how can they let them drive around all day with a flat tire like that and not be able to stop them.

where is calgary's tactical team
where was the pit team
where were the whitnesses in the mall that lets these guys hide?


its like a mini 9/11

that story makes me feel so safe knowing cps are protecting the city!

+1 for the argument against a police force

[Stealth22]

^^

What PIT team? CPS hates chases, they don't do the PIT...they abandon the chase "in fear of public safety" and send the chopper. Too bad the chopper can't go inside a mall...

(And this is for the posters in this thread, not the CPS)

Sounds like a pretty intence chase! These trucks are always in front of my building (near Deerfoot Inn & Casino). It's strange to see one involved in such a story!

CTV News also learned that RCMP will be looking into whether attempted murder charges could be laid with regards to one of their officers nearly being run down.

Nice, now they can say that they let 2 wannabe murderers get away.

in court the cops would have to prove who the driver was and at this point it doesn't sound like they have much evidence at all of the identity of these two fellows

Was working that day. All I see is tons of cops telling white douche bags to show their I'd's
