Saltspring Island police car smash up

I don't know what the driver is thinking, but where is he going to go he's on a small island.FailFish

There's a lot of places you can get to on Saltspring with a truck like that, dumbass will never be able to leave the island again though. Whoever filmed that should be smacked on the side of the head though.

Surprised he didn't get shot.

Cops should've shot him. Cops could use 1 level higher of force to subdue a dangerous individual and in this case the truck could've caused some fatal damages the officers and those around him.

But then again, if they did those idiots who filmed it and those who see it on social media will somehow spin it that the cops are using excessive force...

The cops with their sticks looked like :gayfight: when they were hitting his truck. And dudes buddies were just standing there filming and cheering him on? WTF?

If you ever needed proof that lowest-common-denominator retard culture spreads virally, listen to the shrieking laughter of the camera man and then wait for it... "WHURL-STAR!"

kinda wondering why the cops didn't shoot out the tires

THIS.

I understand it might be dangerous and difficult to shoot the tires when the car is moving. Since the car and tires stopped at some point, they should've shot the tires.

No, it took 1 second looking at the preview to realize the camera man is a piece of shit.
Vertical video filming is so fucking annoying. Fuck this shit.

he should have to pay for the damage to the vehicles.

What's even crazier is that even though the guy got away, he crashed into the ditch up the road. After rolling his truck, the third cop approached. That'd when the guy produced an axe, then tried to set himself on fire.

Thug life.

Perhaps they don't do it as it doesn't reliably stop the vehicle? If the driver is determined, they'll just keep driving on the rims.

Don't think it'll be as easy to predict where the vehicle is going once a wheel is down...causing it to be even more dangerous.

A routine impaired driving check on Salt Spring Island turned violent early Saturday morning, ending with an injured officer, two smashed RCMP service vehicles, and the suspect apprehended under the Mental Health Act.

Not long after midnight on Aug. 29, police at a check stop flagged down a man driving a Chevrolet Blazer on Upper Ganges Road. The driver sped past the the stop to avoid it, nearly hitting an officer on the road.

Two officers then tried to block the driver with their cars, but the suspect drove into them, crushing the front of both vehicles, according to police.

The driver then managed to manoeuvre the truck, which police later discovered was stolen, and sped off north on Upper Ganges Road.

Police followed and found the Blazer not far away, upside-down in a ditch, a press release said.

The driver had armed himself with an axe and was attempting to set the interior of his SUV on fire with lighter fluid.

A firefighter who recognized the man managed to persuade him to surrender his axe. It took hours, but eventually the man was forced from the SUV.

Police said he was apprehended under the Mental Health Act and transported to hospital. They said they believe his injuries are serious.

One RCMP officer involved reported head, neck and back injuries.

The Independent Investigations Office of B.C. will be notified of this case

Thanks Ghostrider.
I was dealing with limited internet yesterday and couldn't quote the source.

:fuckyea:

Yeah, why weren't the cops grabbing him outta the truck? Due to our laws here? I heard one of them say it's time for pepper spray. It's like they watched it go down, hit the truck with their sticks like a couple a faggios, then dude booked it. They could have grabbed him so many times but didn't.

What does the colour of the truck have to do with anything? :suspicious:
