The Department of Public Safety released video of a trooper using the Grappler Bumper to stop a reckless driver on the Loop 202 Santan Freeway.

Dykes.
Cool video. From the comments, “Gas was only $1.42 back in January.”
—”Sadly, that slick tool would end the most watched shows on Los Angeles tv news stations where car chases can run for two hours with massive viewers.”
The TV stations and Youtube would not be in favor of the grabber.
But they could add a running clock and have Nascar and copper analysts reviewing every move, replays, and after-action interviews... And a big special with OJ and his white Bronco!
Being short events no more or perhaps far more commercials just as the jamoke rolls the car into the gas pumps?
—”The AZ DPS is a great LEO agency.”
Guessing that they are not being threatened with defunding?
When I lived in Texas, I was always amazed by the talk about Texas Rangers, they were loved and feared by most.
Here in Illinois, your own brother could be a county sheriff and you would hate him. Just because.
That was fun!
After watching a few times, I believe the guy and his horse have worked on that before?
Also, notice how he picks that critter up?
That is why you do not want to mess with a cowboy; any size buckle.
Well...I do believe that beast was dumb enough to run from 2 cops on the fly! Unreal!
Let me tell the story, I can tell it all;
About the mountain boy who ran illegal alcohol.
His daddy made the whiskey, the son he drove the load;
And when his engine roared they called the highway “Thunder Road”.
Sometimes into Ashville, sometimes Memphis town.
The Revenuers chased him but they couldn’t run him down.
Each time they thought they had him his engine would explode.
He’d go by like they were standing still on “Thunder Road”.
And there was thunder, thunder over “Thunder Road”,
Thunder was his engine and white lightening was his load.
And there was moonshine, moonshine to quench the devil’s thirst.
The law they swore they’d get him but the devil got him first.
It was on the first of April, Nineteen-Fifty-Four
The federal man sent word he’d better make his run no more.
He said “200 agents were covering the state;
Which ever road he tried to take they’d get him sure as fate.”
‘Son’ his daddy told him, ‘make this run your last.
The tank is filled with 100 proof; you’re all tuned-up and gassed.
Now don’t take any chances, if you can’t get through.
I’d rather have you back again than all that Mountain Dew.’
And there was thunder, thunder over “Thunder Road”,
Thunder was his engine and white lightening was his load.
And there was moonshine, moonshine to quench the devil’s thirst.
The law they swore they’ed get him but the devil got him first.
Roaring out of Harlan; revving up his mill.
He shot the Gap at Cumberland and streamed by Maynardville.
With G men on his tail light; road block up ahead,
The mountain boy took roads that even angels fear to tread.
Blazing right through Knoxville, out on Kingston Pike,
Then right outside of Bearden, they made the fatal strike.
He left the road at 90; that’s all there is to say,
The devil got the moonshine and the mountain boy that day.
And there was thunder, thunder over “Thunder Road”,
Thunder was his engine and white lightening was his load.
And there was moonshine, moonshine to quench the devil’s thirst.
The law they never got him ‘cause the devil got him first.
Thun’der, Thun’der, Road!
