Cops go on dramatic I-95 chase and tip over driver’s Jeep to stop him
Sun-Sentinel ^ | June 9, 2020 | Eileen Kelley

Fort Lauderdale police went on a spectacular miles-long chase on Tuesday to capture a man who led at least a dozen officers up Interstate 95 in Broward County.

At around 10:30 a.m. near the Hillsboro Beach Boulevard exit nearing Palm Beach County, a Florida Highway Patrol cruiser inched up to the driver’s side of the white Jeep Wrangler Unlimited.

The cruiser then hit the bumper, causing the Jeep to make a 180-degree turn and travel backward before rolling over and landing on its side.

Damn police brutality. If the police had been abolished, this wouldn’t have happened.

Besides, the least they could have done is shot him in the leg.

Was the driver Black? Was he screaming “I CAN’T BREATHE” out the window?

As far as pit maneuvers go... MOST are unnecessary. A very dangerous maneuver.

Unless they know it’s a murderer, violent offender, do not pit!

It isn’t worth risking injury or death over a stolen car. Too often pit maneuvers end up in rollovers. They can also impact bystanders and other innocent drivers.

Not to mention all the damage to police cars.

The story is poorly written...
Here is the real scoop:

The bodies of two men believed to have been stabbed were discovered on the beach at sunrise Tuesday near the luxurious Galt Ocean Mile in Fort Lauderdale.

As people milled about trying to get an understanding of what happened either overnight or early this morning, police in Fort Lauderdale left another crime scene nearby and chased a man up Interstate 95.

The police chase began a short distance from where the bodies were found, in the 2600 block of Center Avenue. At 9:14 a.m., police received reports that a man in a Jeep rammed a car and a golf cart. The driver left in the Jeep. But when the victims were talking to police, the Jeep’s driver came back and that led to a police chase.

The man in a white Jeep Wrangler Unlimited was tailed by at least a dozen police cruisers in a dramatic miles-long chase on I-95. A Florida Highway Patrol officer was able to stop the Jeep when he clipped the rear bumper sending the Jeep around before rolling it.

Officer put knee at the base of his neck. Every rioter who looted over George Floyd should be should be tried and hanged unless they go out right now and protest for this guy.

Goes with the white Jeep. Now if he staged being pushed by a couple of riot police in Buffalo, then we would have a story.

Always fun to watch.
Even though the writer sounds clueless.

A Wrangler rolled, no major loss.

If it were a CJ, that would be sad.

A guy had a vintage 151 and trailer out cruising today.

Agree. PIT maneuvers have a high failure rate and often the police wreck into other vehicles or obstacles. It is shocking at how much the scale of response escalates for a stolen vehicle. Many departments have implemented a chase coordinator that is listening and watching the chase but not directly involved with the power to stop the action. New technology should render most high speed changes moot.

The police will probably be charged with property damage and who knows what else.

The guy was illegally camping on someone’s private property. When asked to leave they got into a shoving match and the guy fled. The problem was a double murder occured close to the incident and he became a suspect.
