A possible stolen car in McKinleyville…shocking!
Shocking!
Taster ? Whatever happened to billy clubs ?
This is Humboldt we swab o.c.
they are holding off using the taster during the covid pandemic.
Billy Clubs was picked up by Chicago in a trade.
Who steals a Mini Cooper??? 🤯 So badass
Now the legal driver is FUCKED! How Awesome!
typical cops chasing a vehicle…then the vehicle gets ruined no fault of it’s owner…only fault of cops. And often they endanger lives of others by pursuing, doing the chase. there’s gotta be a better way….
So let all the bad guys do whatever they want, without police intervention. Brilliant! Absolutely Brilliant!
AND the owner has to pay for the damages. Without sufficient insurance coverage the owner gets nothing!!
No advocating violence.
I may be wrong, but that car does not look like a Mini Cooper to me. Just glad the police officer’s caught the jerk. He must be color blind!
The car is one that was struck by the Mini.
Kym, did not see the Mini Cooper in the photos. Sorry.
Cops without masks, how odd blatant disregarding cdc recommendation during a pandemic . My guess the local law enforcement think this is a complete hoax . Although * Exposure rates have tripled from 2% to 6% in past week and 45% of agency’s have inadequate PPE.
