Low speed Bentley Chase

[Garp]

Well.. the chase is over (at the moment) but a bentley has been chased by police in Lost Angeles for the last 3 hours. Rumours are flying about it being either Chris Brown or DJ Kahled of Terror Squad. Police have confirmed that they want the driver regarding an assault using a lethal weapon of his girlfriend. It's known that Chris Brown assaulted Rhianna yesterday.

Low speed? I don't watch police cop shows but why did they chase really slowly around?

Wierd.

On the tv commentary they just said something like they say the gun in the car and he pointed it at his head, so they backed away because they didn't want to show anything horrific on the air.

Not:

We didn't want to influence an alleged criminal, or encourage him or her.

He has a weapon so they didn't want to provoke him, but wanted to "encourage" him to pull over, so they've had several police cars following him with lights flashing. Hoping that no one would be stupid enough to get in the way of the situation (one lady went to the door of the car when he came to a stop)

I'm in :cool:

Do we know who it is yet ???

[Justsomebloke]

Kin ell they just said Goodnight & went off :angry: + ;D


Oooo ang on it's back :cool:

They are moving in, Wooohooooooo

[Garp]

Doesn't look good, the police aren't in a "tactical stance", possibly the dude has shot himself?

Damn.. they've cut out again!

This site: http://cbs2.com/ + IE, click on their live footage.

Does seem that he has killed himself the way the old bill casually went up to the motor & smashed the window in, No ambulance arriving either so I reckon the dudes shot himself.

I think they blank out ads because they don't pay for internet ads.

Again, funny commentary. Something like "The police will be happy to wait it out" and then 2 minutes later in they go ;D

I have no respect for US news programmes, can you tell? :)

Signal seems to have gone now.

[Garp]

Ambulance now on the scene.

edit: Fox say he is dead, ambulance guys took a quick look at him and walked away, one has fetched a stretcher.

edit2: Didn't cover his head after pulling him awkwardly out of car. Didn't appear to treat him either. Either unconcious or dead. Not rushing him off so probably not in between either.

Looks like we're done for now.

Bugger, I have missed this by minutes because the gas man is in :angry:

[Nutcase]

Gentle handling there! Watching the CBS feed which has a much better commentary anyway - very little. Although even they said they wanted the police helicopter out the way so they could get lower.

[Garp]

I do wish they'd shut up, for the most part. It's not sports commentary, there isn't something happening constantly. silence is golden.

Dude had shot himself, but was alive when pulled from car! That looked pretty rough handling for a person still alive. Not sure I'd want those paramedics attending me :)
