Missouri cops chase stolen truck into crash, killing 50-year-old woman
You're viewing a single thread.
What a fucking clickbait headline. The cops didn't kill anybody.... a poor 50-year-old woman was just driving home when someone who had stolen a truck drove into her and killed her. What the fuck is wrong with the media
For that matter, did you even look at the article before you posted it to this??
No stolen truck is worth the danger of a high-speed pursuit, and in this case, a woman's life.
Yeah just let them go after committing grand theft auto. I'm sure it was just a mistake and he will turn himself in out of guilt.
Drones and helos exist...they could just follow them with one of those and pick them up that way. It's not a hard concept to see these high speed chases are super dangerous.
these are criminals we are talking about. they will drive into a populated area and run away without anyone getting to see their face. In nyc its pretty notorious that criminals will run into their apartment complexes and no one will snitch on them, making them impossible to track down.
An "impossible to track down" perp who stole a truck, is far less a tragedy than the death of Sharon Ault. No stolen vehicle is worth the danger of a high-speed pursuit.
You can't convince the bootlickers of reality. To them the pigs can do no wrong.
I want criminals to be punished. That's all.
At any cost. We get it. You fantasize getting to kill whoever gets in your way as you act as cop, judgy, jury and executioner. I hope you get in your heroes' way some day.
You're a little crazy. I'm neither a cop, a judge or an executioner. I'm just some dude on the internet with the opinion that we shouldn't let criminals free because of freak accidents.
You're a bootlicking asshole who worships cops. Your idea of justice is catch the "criminal" and damn anyone that gets in the way. Fuck you man. I hope you become some of that collateral damage one day. I hope your family gets to miss you because you were in the wrong place at the wrong time as some careless pig chased a stolen car straight into your driver's side door.

In all your comments, you've expressed only your concern about a Ford F150, no worries at all about the late Sharon Ault.
I am unconcerned with anything except the death of an innocent woman, in a wreck caused because of a police chase over "grand theft auto."
Again, no stolen vehicle is worth the danger of a police chase.
Did you?
Police chased the truck to the area of Little Blue Parkway and Bundschu Road. Officers terminated the pursuit when they realized the truck was heading north in the southbound lanes, Buck said. Moments later, the truck hit the Dodge Avenger Sharon Ault was driving on her way home. Authorities pronounced her dead at the scene.
Yeah, they can't chase a car going in the wrong direction, risking the lives of countless people. This dude killed that lady not the cops. I hate cops too but this is ridiculous. This headline is click bait. Period. What should they have done? Have multiple cars going the wrong direction?? It even says it happened moments after he went the wrong way, they didn't even have time to shut the road down.
What should they have done?
Not chased a fleeing vehicle, over something so trivial as missing plates.
Good to know he definitely wouldn't have killed anyone if not for that...
This exact, particular death was a direct fucking result. It has nothing to do with some fantasy land theories, it's simply the truth that this particular person would have not been hit by the officer. Could something else have happened also bad? Literally an impossible question to answer and an equally moronic question to ask. We are not talking in whataboutisms, this is a literal cause and effect of a particular incident that could have been avoided. But nah let's play fucking butterfly effect.
it’s simply the truth that this particular person would have not been hit by the officer
She wasn't hit by the officer though, she was hit by the fleeing stolen truck.
You're engaging in nitpickery, but yes, this wreck was a stolen truck crashing into an innocent woman's vehicle, not a police car crashing into an innocent woman's vehicle. You are correct, but she is still dead.
The driver of the stolen vehicle went the wrong way on the freeway, to elude cops that were chasing him, over a crime of no significance compared to a person's life.
I don't think its nitpicky to correct someone who said that the women had been hit by the officer.
If I pull a fire alarm in a crowded theater and a person dies in the panic because they were trampled, it's still my fault because the danger wouldn't have existed without my actions. if the police hadn't engaged in a reckless and pointless chase so they could feel like an action hero, this woman would still be alive - in case I need to spell it out for you, the theif wouldn't have felt the need to drive into oncoming traffic without an entire department chasing him down - and they would've still apprehended the criminal. real life isn't like GTA where if you hide in an alley for a few minutes your wanted level disappears.
another point: if the cops couldn't find the criminal without engaging in a deadly chase, we still have the same conclusion of cops being absolute pig shit at their supposed job. ALL cops are bastards, especially the murderous psychopaths that wanna feel like speed racer in between harassing minorities and shooting dogs

They chased it into incoming traffic. Period. They discontinued the chase too late. Period.
What should they have done? Not chased the car. We have surveillance tech everywhere in this country and car pursuits are ineffective, dangerous, stupid, chud cop behavior. Period.
Maybe they shouldn't have chased the person and escalated the situation until they started going the wrong direction?
