Machines | Dump truck ramming plays out like cop reality TV show
videos | at work | information | view | construction
Dramatic video footage released on Sunday from three Stow police cruisers involved in a 52.5-mile chase of a stolen dump truck looks as if it could have come from a cop reality television show. The stolen dump truck, which police say was driven Saturday by a 17-year-old suspect through the streets of Stow and the highways of three counties, crashed into police cruisers and private vehicles and headed in reverse down a major road while being pursued by police before spinning and totaling a cruiser. That's before the dump truck got out of Stow and headed down state Route 8 and Interstate 77 through Summit, Stark and Tuscarawas counties, then crashed with a flat tire into a guard rail. In parts of one cruiser's video, various objects, including two bricks and a tarp, are seen being thrown from the dump truck's window. Police also said a fire extinguisher was thrown out of the truck toward a line of police cars from various departments in pursuit on the highway. A Stow teen has been charged in juvenile court with three counts of felonious assault with a weapon (the truck), a count of willfully fleeing and eluding a police officer, driving with a suspended license, three counts of vandalism (of cars) and a count of receiving stolen property.

The guy who was responsible for this just started working at the same place as me (He's 21 now, spent 3 1/2 years in jail). I had actually never heard of this incident until he told me about it yesterday. He's a good person, now. He just made a REALLY stupid decision as a kid.
-
I'm pulling out of the tire store @ 3:21 ( white van). I thought for sure he was going to hit me when he dodged the stop sticks.
-
whoa whoa whoa. i was expecting terrorists on top of buildings with ak47s, john mcclane jumping out of police cars and a few helicopters, what gives!
-
Why didn't they just spike his tires?
-
I would have shot several rounds into the windshield. The police have their hands too damn tied. This jerk of a punk did many hundreds of thousands of dollars damage let alone potentially kill someone.. Work his punk ass off to pay the damages. Then, shackle his ass for a few years in the State Pen..

Video "coutesy" of the SPD? LMAO!!! 6:19.

@4BlocksE2ndOnRight lolololololololol

@4BlocksE2ndOnRight - No, you're too much fun to laugh at, you can't go! I'm really having fun knowing that I don't actually have to deal with someone as stupid as you in real life. You can't even answer a simple question. hahaha. So funny.
-
@4BlocksE2ndOnRight TROLOLOL still avoiding the question. You're like a dumb dog that won't roll over no matter how bad he wants the treat. How do you get by in life? PS. After looking at your channel and history, I can see that you're also a pseud-know-it-all political obsessor. This explains why you're being so ridiculous. I understand now, and I won't try to make you use your brain anymore. I see that it's a lot of stress for you to try to form a sane thought on something.
-
@4BlocksE2ndOnRight - That is still not answering my question. You know you're wrong so you keep talking about an irrelevant fact that these cops suck at driving. Yeah, ok, we get it, they can't dodge worth a shit, but that's not the point. Answer my question.
-
@4BlocksE2ndOnRight No, same question. You keep avoiding it. What happens if the truck takes out the only unit that's there? Quit beating around the bush like a little bitch. :)
-
@ConsiderationAfter quit dodging my questions. Why is it bad to have so many units? It's only one truck. It can only target one unit at a time. If there's only one unit, it targets that unit. It's down. What happens then? If you can't answer those two questions, I can't have a serious conversation with you,
-
@ConsiderationAfter Watch the video and tell me how many police cars he rams out of service. Then tell me what would happen if there was only one car with 2 officers in it and it got rammed and was inoperable. They don't know it's a teen driver. They don't know if the whole thing is loaded with explosives, or who he's planning to kill, or hurt, or whatever. Bad refers to having too many officers. Give me one good reason it's BAD to have a lot of officers on scene. Anything at all. Just one.
-
@RememberApostrophes lol you're so clever. You pretended I called myself a moron instead of you. what happens when they can't do it? And he gets away and kills 30 civilians and blows up a building and whatever else he might be doing? Fuck off. Give me one good reason it's a BAD thing? and none of that "they could be on other calls" bullshit because theres this thing called dispatch. if they need someone they can pull them. They also have the whole rest of the force that isn't in the chase too.
-
spikestrips anyone? oh wait its more fun to waste our tax money on gas
-
@RememberApostrophes thats ohio for you they rape us on taxes dont fix our roads but we have plenty of power hungry cops
-
@RememberApostrophes yeah, you're right. they just need 1 guy in a little cruiser to stop a guy who might be armed in a dump truck. moron.
-
it was a kid driving this and he is in Juvenile facility i work at lol.
-
and what i mean by that is, the guy didnt kill anybody ...he stole a truck, unless he was ramming people before this the chase should of never happened.
