I would have used the phrase “the teens experienced a predictable outcome”...instead of “tragic news”...well, it is tragic that humans are so stupid as to put themselves into life threatening situations..and then grieve when the worst happens

There are 3 students dead in a crash.
They stole from target, alas.
There once were 4.
and now 3 are no more.
Turns out all 4 were trash.

In addition, most stores have video on the interior and exterior parking lots. Same with all the adjacent businesses etc. Unless these petty theft suspects were in a stolen vehicle, it would not take a seasoned investigator to figure out who the suspect/suspects were, especially in a smallish rural type venue, with school age suspects.

Anyone notice they did not once mention what the alleged stolen item/items were? I’d guess they didn’t mention this because if they told the public it was some underwear and a bag of Cheetos, the public would be outraged.

If the initial report would have been armed robbery, shots fired, people down etc, at the Target store that would have been somewhat acceptable to chase dangerous armed people through the public streets. But a petty theft call? High speed pursuit? No bueno!

France and England are being overtaken by them and crime is through the roof

True enough, but if I'm not mistaken this happened near Doylestown PA.

Bad judgment all around. 4 speeding police cars behind these kids, according to the video, any one of which could have crashed or hit an innocent bystander. The risk/benefit calculation here is pretty simple. Nothing in Target store is irreplaceable. Three children are irreplaceable and their loved ones are heartbroken. Plus the loved ones of police involved are aware, "there but for the grace of God..."

They were turning their lives around right at the time of the crash!

Ha.

Death penalty is said by leftist professors to not deter crime. These are certainly discouraged from more.

In 2020 young thieves hit three different Target Stores here in Michigan with a vehicle smashing the glass front doors.
I remember seeing the particle boards over one before the police released the report of one of these. I thought “Why would Target do such a messy job of replacing the doors.?


Note: How can you tell I’m telling the truth about this story?
Answer: It says police have no suspects.

A black woman coworker before I retired said: “Then they do those crime stories and say there are no suspects I picture the criminals sitting at home watching the news and cheering
and giving high fives.”


January 6, 2020/ CBS Detroit

METRO DETROIT (CBS DETROIT) - Three Metro Detroit Target stores were bitten by thieves, according to authorities.

It happened Monday morning around 3 a.m. at an Allen Park, Woodhaven and Dearborn Target store.

Police say the thieves smashed the front door and took electronics.

Authorities are now looking for a silver Dodge Durango in connection to the crimes.

As of late Monday morning, police had no suspects in custody.

Of course it happened in PA. Muslim kids were part of those responsible. We don’t need too many of them here.

“How many innocents have been killed because the cops wanted to play cops and robbers?”

THIS hits the nail on the head. With today’s technology, there is no need to employ high speed chases that endanger all involved, especially those who are innocent but just end up in the way.

I have not either, but a witness implied that was what occurred. In addition, if the petty theft suspects were not being chased, why drive at high speed through town? That does not make much sense.

Good one.

There used to be a cartoon meme of a dog and the back of a car.

This must be Trump’s fault.

New media: Trump tariffs lead to teens' families being broke after high prices on food. Teens try to help.

The Greatschool ratings show this school as only 5% black.

I guess it's 4% now.

“Who edits these publications?”

Not an edit problem, but the article says the parents were notified by a letter from the school superintendent. That’s a peculiar way of such notifications.

Three Teens Killed In Crash Fleeing Police After Theft From Target

Did the getaway car have a black interior?

Is that was the cops tell the innocents victim's families in court who died over some minor petty theft, all because the cops wanted to conduct high speed pursuits over a $30 petty theft?

Lie much? There were no innocent victims. The thieving kids in the car were the ones who died.

And how would the cops know the exact items being stolen? All they got was a call about thieves robbing a Target. They could've been using knives to rob people of their wallets and phones. They could have been adults. The cops only know that there was a call for help, and the thieving scum ran from the cops in a car, and refused to pull over, and decided to drive at highly dangerous speeds, and were endangering themselves and the police and the public by running away in a reckless manner. So YES, THAT IS WHAT YOU TELL THEIR PARENTS!!! Too bad, so sad, next time teach your children better than to steal, then to run from police, then to drive at dangerous speeds, then to endanger the world simply because they're trying to avoid proper consequences for their actions.

We the People are not going to encourage more and worse crime by refusing to chase those who endanger the public with reckless driving while evading arrest.

If it makes you feel any better, over the last two months the local news in my old home state has been filled with stories about teenagers getting involved in high-speed fatal crashes -- most of them involving OTHER victims who were innocent bystanders.

And none of them involved a police chase, either.

Perhaps you should comfort yourself by speculating that these mutants would have crashed into that retaining wall even if nobody was chasing them.
