Four Florida teenagers have been killed after they were involved in a police chase in which officers used a maneuver designed to get a car to stop, but caused them to spin out of control. The four, who were between the ages of 14 and 16, attended Newberry High School in Bradford County, northeast of Gainesville. Two of the teens in the car died at the Waldo area scene, while the other two passed away from their injuries days later at UF Health Shands Hospital in Gainesville.

Comments:

FTA: two of the teens that were killed in SUV were wearing ankle monitors, while three had active warrants, reports WLBT.

Cops will get nailed for this and pretty soon we'll just have to rely on criminals turning themselves in - because police bad.

Sorry guys, I disagree. These kids might not have been driving at 111 were it not for being chased and maybe no one would have died were it not for the PIT maneuver. Radio ahead. Catch them later. The two wearing ankle monitors could have been tracked wherever. Equip cops with drones and follow from 1000 feet up. Yes, the kids were black and I'd take odds that fathers were missing from their homes. Some communities have banned chases except in very specific circumstances and this wasn't one of those.

Ski masks? Ankle monitors? Odds are......they weren't out ringing doorbells, and running off. Why not just stop when the cops light you up?

FTA: 'Lawrence [McClendon] was a great kid to be around and have in our program,' said Ed Johnson, Newberry's head football coach. As a football player he was competitive, talented and relentless with a knack for making big plays. Lawrence and his three friends were serious criminals before they reached their mid-teens. Where were their parents? What type of crime does one have to do commit to have warrants and ankle monitors at age fourteen to sixteen? These four young hoodlums were halfway to state prison already. Lawrence and his car thief / joyriding fellow gangstas made a big play here, one for the record books, a rrrreally big shew, as Ed Sullivan used to say. It was a touchdown of sorts. That pole didn't give an inch. It's a shame that the owner of the stolen Honda is left with a totaled car. What a senseless waste of a fine vehicle.

4 criminals dead. But they were Good boys, who just thought ankle bracelets were a fine piece of jewelry. Only God knows how many future crimes were prevented in this case or how many past crimes were punished. I have watched a lot of Utubes with police chases and some of them are pretty crazy ,and some of them just for a traffic violation. However this was a criminal gang being chased. Most had records of criminal offenses., and certainly they would create more criminal acts if they lived. I have no empathy for them. If the youth who played football had a criminal record why was he allowed on the football team.?

Youtube has dozens if not hundreds, of dash cam videos of LEOs chasing people at high speeds because they ran. When it finally ends, and almost never well, the driver and passengers were running for stupid reasons: drugs, warrants, no license, shoplifting, other crimes... It take s a special kind of stupid to run from the cops, but it's widespread in some parts of society. Anyone want to bet those kids will be memorialized on the school walls?

They were not long for this earth. Stolen vehicle. Warrants, ankle bracelets. 14 - 16 God only knows what they had done previously and what they had planned. Luckily they did not hit another car or ram into a home or store. I am sorry this happened. I am sorry these kids did not have parents and guidance. I am sorry that living like a feral animal was acceptable behavior. How do you grow into a predator so quickly?

A PIT maneuver at a very high rate of speed (say, 100 to 130 mph) can send both cars out of control. The cop has to know what he's doing to PIT at great speed, or he might kill himself. Obviously, it's crazy to try to run from police at 100+mph. The greatest danger is that the fleeing felon might crash and involve anyone else on the road in that crash. Over the last several years I've watched literally dozens of videos of fleeing felons, who can kill you or me when they go out of control. Idiot criminals driving at 100+ are an immediate danger to the driving public. If police have to crash them to stop them, too bad.

I am skeptical the claim that an officer performed a PIT maneuver on a vehicle at 110+ mph, although I don't doubt that at some point the vehicle had been clocked at over 100 mph. This is the Daily Mail reporting after all.

Re #22: There are numerous videos of PIT maneuvers being done at speeds of between 100 and 130. Not many police are "rated" (if that's the proper word) to perform PIT maneuvers at great speed. One you may have heard of is Arkansas Highway patrolman Jacob Byrd aka the Byrdman. He's a legend. Here's an hour and three minutes of action.

This could have easily been a story about a family of four killed due to a high speed chase. I realize small towns have no access to a chopper watching where they go, but if there were ankle monitors involved they could just apprehend them that way. Not sure if the police were following them due to the ankle monitor tracking, or unaware of that potential tool.

The police did the right thing in this. Every driver on that road hs the right to be safe while driving. They are obeying the laws of the road, and more then likely are not criminals. The "teens" in the car were in a big hurry to get away from the police. In their haste, they were endangering every other person on the road. Those "teens" could have smashed into numerous cars killing a lot of INNOCENT people. They should have stopped. better yet, they should not be breaking the law. #18 is right on. But you know these cops are going to be railroaded for doing their job.

FTA: "Police patrol vehicles were unable to keep up with the car because a device in their car prevents them from accelerating too fast." :-( So, highway patrol had to take over. Just wondering, if metro police didn't have their hands (aka cars) tied, maybe they could have caught up to them sooner and prevented this final outcome.....

Another "damned if you do, damned if you don't" scenario for the cops. If they don't chase the car, they aren't doing their jobs and should be fired. If they chase the car, the wreck is their fault, and they should be imprisoned. Why would anyone want to be a cop.

After weeks of illegal trespassing by pro-Hamas fanatics that escalated to the storming, damaging, and occupying of Hamlitlon Hall, police finally got the green light to move in, and move in they did. According to the latest reports, the pro-Hamas "encampment" and Hamilton Hall have been cleared, with over 100 arrests being made. Videos are emerging of the raid and its aftermath, with dozens of "protesters" crying in horror as they face the consequences of their actions. A fair warning that you may enjoy this a bit too much.

Adams said that when he became aware that the majority of the pro-terrorism protestors weren’t students but professional agitators, he promised to fight for the American “way of life” as the demonstrators continued to harass Jewish communities. “Once I became aware of the outside agitators who were part of this operation, as Columbia mentioned in their letter

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) announced Wednesday she’ll force a vote next week on whether to oust Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), an extraordinary move highlighting the internal turmoil in the GOP. But it’s also a move that is all but certain to fail after Democratic leaders said they would vote to protect the Speaker from her coup attempt. Forcing a vote on the motion to vacate resolution — which Greene filed against Johnson more than a month ago — will compel the chamber to act on the measure within two legislative days. “I think every member of Congress needs to take that vote and let the chips fall where they

Scottish film star Brian Cox slammed religion for leading humanity into “all kinds of horror” on Monday. During an episode of The Starting Line podcast, the self-described atheist-socialist actor asserted that religion has hurt humans’ ability to face reality, contributing to their own “stupidity.” “It’s all about this notion of God, the idea that there’s a God that takes care of us all,” (Snip) “The word ‘God’ anyway, is a conceit,” he said. “It’s a terrible conceit that we don’t really acknowledge.” Cox, who plays the odious billionaire media mogul Logan Roy in the HBO hit series Succession, described the Bible as “one of the worst books ever.”

Democrats are reportedly in a panic over the Gaza protests because they think the images of campus takeovers are pushing Americans to the right. They have good reasons to be panicked. Trump is already leading in almost every swing state and one of the reasons is because the country is sick and tired of the antics of the radical left. Joe Biden’s total silence and lack of action is only going to make things worse for them. Axios reported: Democrats enter panic mode as Gaza protests erupt..House and Senate Democrats’ anxiety is spiking as pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses around the country kick into overdrive.

Former President Donald Trump has been having some serious sit-down meetings with some significant national leaders, and it's annoying the Biden administration. These kinds of meetings aren't all that unusual during presidential elections, but as usual, Donald Trump is doing this his way: In less than two months, Trump has hosted Polish President Andrzej Duda, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, former Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso and David Cameron, the former British prime minister who now serves as the U.K.’s foreign secretary. He’s also talked with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and others by phone. It’s not unusual for a party nominee to meet with foreign officials —

The Democrat Mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, didn’t send police onto the campus of UCLA when pro-Hamas demonstrators took over parts of it and prevented Jews from entering, just as Nazis one blocked Jewish students from the University of Vienna. A Jewish girl being beaten unconscious and hospitalized also drew no police response to the state government-owned campus. But when non-student members of the Jewish community of Los Angeles entered the campus....
