😲😲 wow my neighborhood
Running away from the cops eh? If I were a cop, I would go full Rodney king on the subject for making me chase him
Dang, Mr. Mayor . . . info out to us in record time ! ! !
Thank You, for all you do for the community !
+1 … did they find what the perp threw?
“ygnacio near ayers?”
quite a chase!!!
Great job officers
Many years ago I found a stainless steel Smith and Wesson.357 in the gutter near the downtown BART station. I notified the agent of my find and an officer showed up to process the weapon. He reported Concord Police had chased a perp around the area the night before, and believe he tossed the gun before they stopped him. My money is on a gun fir this fool. And no, I never thought about keeping the .357 – you never know whose used it for what.
I immediately tuned into the scanner stream when I heard the sirens.
Incidentally, the item the suspect threw out his window was a USB battery power bank.
Should have sicced a K9 on him if one was available. The doggies always like a game of fetch and chew.

Once you rabbit, you are a high value target and should be engaged as such.
You know how to end police chases that could end up endangering other motorists? Authorized the police to have bazookas mounted to the front of their cruisers and if somebody does not pull over after two notices or begins to flee: Bamm!
This would save so much trouble in many imprisoning the person. A lot of us are getting really fed up with the leniency on the criminal.

It kills me how people have the gall to blame the police for creating a dangerous situation when there’s a vehicle pursuit, and not the moron who’s running from them.
I agree. Enough is enough.
Thank you, PD!
