Are Car Chases Going To The Dogs? Woman Steals An RV and Police Engage In A Wild Chase
A woman driving a stolen RV with two dogs in her lap led police on a wild 60mph chase through the streets of Santa Clarita, near Los Angeles in Southern California on Tuesday evening.

The DUI suspect has been identified as Julie Ann Rainbird, 52, of Winnetka, by the California Highway Patrol. Authorities say she stole the Giant RV in Downey, California.

She launched the bizarre chase around 7pm when authorities tried to pull the vehicle over.

Clearly this woman has a few issues. As she is likely going to jail hopefully her pets find a good home.

The RV and the dogs were stolen, not necessarily from the same owner. Some issues for sure.

No issues. Just her upbringing and environment.

I'm perfectly OK making it legal for the police to use force/deadly force to stop runners. Runners threaten so many innocent people. It's OK for criminals like this to pay the price.

@MD a kid who was higher that an kite waves a pocket knife around on a street car in Toronto. Cops come. Empty it. Kid remains. High and not listening. Cops shoot him 3 times. He falls. He is then shot 6 more times. Supervisor tasers him just for cover up purposes I guess. The cop who shot him is charged with attempted murder while a dozen cops who stood around and did nothing get off scott-free. But this lady gets arrested. I have idea how the police make decisions.

Not interested in your "cops are bad" and "criminals are never criminals" narrative.

@MD - Ill give you the contrast. There is a video of a mountain sized guy on a street in the UK waving a manchette. He doesn't get shot. Or hit with a taser or beaten. Instead he gets surrounded by a dozen police officers with riot shields. He is arrested and taken away. Problem solved. This is was unexpected to someone in North America, but shows a better way forward.

Because YOU say so? How arrogant and narcissistic!

In the US where nearly everyone has a gun (just the way the NRA wants)this may not work. One example without particulars is not indicative of a better way.

@Truthy That is exaggerated, judgmental, bigoted, hate speech. Just because people disagree with you does not give you the right to go hateful toward them. And just because people respond negatively to you does not validate that you are correct and justified.

I was responding to CanadianComments about how the police there use shields.
If you have a machete and are threatening police you deserve to be shot.

This: "...In the US where nearly everyone has a gun (just the way the NRA wants)..." is exaggerated, judgmental, bigoted, hate speech.

The advent of the autonomous car will sure make for some boring car chases.

It looked more like a test drive of the Tesla RV in auto-pilot.

The press should cover how police make decisions. They are in danger every day. When someone brandishes a weapon they have to stop the danger and protect the public without the benefit of Monday morning quarterbacking.
99 percent of these guys you see on edited videos resist police orders which are for the protection of the police and the public and 98 percent have a long rap sheet.
BLM gets their panties in a knot everytime a drug dealer gets shot resisting arrest, but are silent about the many innocent kids getting gunned down every week on the south side of Chicago.
