Excellent police pursuit! From the YouTube channel’s post:

Omaha Police follow a robbery suspect who fires on officers during the pursuit as well as a shootout at the end, where one cruiser ends up in a less than desireable position.

Stupid criminals!

And now for a little humor… (yes, I know I’ve been slow in posting lately, but I’ve had too many regular “work” issues). We could all use a little bit every now and then, couldn’t we? I don’t particularly like JJB’s politics, but this was hilarious. Some fakin’ but a whole lot of JJB letting the obvious under-the-influence be displayed for the video cameras. I’d bet serious money on the fact this crackhead was arrested shortly after the show. Heh.

Yep, those three Yale students, 2 of them immigrants, who burned that man’s American flag on his porch apparently got a very high bond and were shackled as they were arrested. So what’s the problem? Arthur Aidala and Drew Findling duked it out on Studio B this afternoon. These guys were charged with arson, not flag burning, so I don’t understand Findling’s arguments. Shepard Smith also doesn’t get it either. It’s arson. This flag was the property of another. The “other” had the flag attached to his house. His house was wooden. But Shepard has to argue that the house didn’t burn down? WTF? As Aidala explains it, probably the only reason the house didn’t burn down is that a police officer passing by saw it on fire and pulled it out of the holder. It’s not the absolute outcome of a crime; it’s the intent and danger imposed by the very crime itself.

Then Shepard says something that I find more outrageous: that a judge should not set bond on the ‘totality of the circumstances’ of a case. What law school did he go to? Aidala correctly added that, oh, yes, a judge considers the totality of the circumstance on ALL bond cases. He is supposed to. Say, for instance, someone has a criminal history of FTA (Failure to Appear) or bail jumping, do you think that judge would set a damn bond at all? Hell no, especially not in the case of a group of thugs who set fire to someone else’s property!

And who gives two sh**s about whether or not they should have taken their passports - that’s what happens when you’re a foreigner here and you commit a crime. I personally think the two immigrants should be deported immediately after trial, to boot. I agree with Shep and Aidala though, that if they did that at my house, they might not make it to trial. Regardless what anybody says, the American flag is a symbol of our country. What if this had been a group of three American kids burning a Koran? Would it still be considered an “inaniminate” object, Findling?

Watch the shout-fest here.

This truly is as I describe. No, it’s not violent; no, it’s not bloody; no, it’s not about some tranny they’re arresting; no, it’s not a high-speed pursuit. But, yes, it is the weirdest segment of COPS I’ve ever seen. I really don’t even have words for it.

You can watch the…um… latest “capture” here.

I know this is not my forte’, but when I saw this guy coming out of the crashed car, I thought HOLY COW! (no pun intended) This is ONE HUGE GUY! No wonder it took so many of them to take him down.

Watch the video and see. Wow.

This is a SWEEET story! Don’t you just love it when some two-bit thug gets his just due on the street? I read this story today from another site, but a friend of mine, ViperAsh50, posted it in his newsletter. All I can say is HUUUAH!

From the Desert News in Utah:

Former Marine takes down man after clerk is hit

By Pat Reavy
Deseret Morning News

A man who had just been released from jail was sent right back Monday after police say he picked the wrong store to attempt a robbery.

The 30-year-old man was in line at a 7-Eleven, 2175 E. 9400 South, just before 8 p.m. When he got to the counter he asked the female clerk for a carton of cigarettes, said Sandy Police Sgt. Victor Quezada. But after he received them he walked out without paying, Quezada said.

The clerk told another female clerk who followed him outside the doors and told him to stop.

Instead, the man turned around and punched the clerk in the face, Quezada said.

James Sjostrom was standing in line right behind the man who took the cigarettes and saw the entire thing unfold.

Hero, Marine James Sjostrom

“He just turned and clocked her,” Sjostrom said. “He pounded her face. It was pretty vicious.”

That’s when Sjostrom went after the man who assaulted the store clerk.

As he went outside, Sjostrom said he saw the man standing over the clerk, who was kneeling over on the ground, as if he were going to punch her again. When the man saw Sjostrom coming at him, he took a swing at him, too.

But the attacker quickly found out he was no match for the bulky Sjostrom.

Sjostrom is a former Marine who taught hand-to-hand combat and currently teaches a course on Russian kettlebells, or the martial art of strength training, at the Sports Mall in Murray.

“I grabbed him, threw him on the ground, put his hands behind his back, sat on him and waited for the cops to come,” Sjostrom said.

In just a matter of a few seconds Sjostrom had the man pinned. When the man realized he had no chance, Sjostrom said he became “pretty quiet.”

“Anybody would have done the same thing,” he said. “Another guy in the store said he was in the Army and asked if I needed any help.”

With a grin, Sjostrom replied to the man, “The Marines got here first.”

The would-be thief refused to tell police who he was. They figured it out, however, when they found his release papers from the Salt Lake County Jail still in his pocket. The man had been released from jail on another assault arrest just hours earlier, Quezada said.

Although police don’t normally encourage people to go after bad guys themselves, in this case, “The guy did something that was great,” he said.

The female clerk who was punched suffered a cut above her eyebrow. She was treated at the scene by paramedics and released.

Don’tcha just love a happy ending? Don’t FFFFFF****** with a U.S. MARINE!
