I dont trust them anymore ....it stinks already.....stop becoming GOD everyone...its none of your bussines to decide who deserves to breathe the oxigen and who not...I would be affraid to cheer somebody up for killing someone....not talking about people that feel bad that the cop didnt kill the suspect...it digusted me to read all your christians comments ....We say:In GOD we thrust...where is that thrust????All u think is your money.....If you'll bellieve in God as u say, he will protect u from these people........

@ NEWLOGIN.Keep telling yourself you know what your talking about.Cops are dirty as hell and if you dont know then your just another blank that was meant to do something special, but just didnt have the umph.

My guess is that is wasn't this "suspected" car thief's first dealings with the law, and it probably won't be his last.

That's some mighty fancy shootin' thar Mister. Mighty fine shootin' Keep up the good work officers. Hopefully the deputies shot him in the Arse!

You know, we used to hang horse thieves. Maybe if we hung car thieves these scum of the earth humans would not be so quick to steal others property. I work hard for my stuff, if you want to steal it, be prepared to die.

The deputy should be found guilty of being a poor shot.

Execute violent criminals

Millions of good men (read: car thieves and attempted murderers) would be a lot better off without them. bobknows...you can't possibly mean the idiotic things you write. This HAS to be a troll for attention. Nobody could be that deranged.

The lesson today kids, DONT STEAL CARS.. DONT SHOOT COPS... DONT SHOOT TEACHERS... Is this really so hard to learn?

yessir said on March 10, 2010 at 2:00 PM

lol... bobknows and tomma are probably the same person

cecnow said on March 10, 2010 at 1:57 PM

GOOD WORK officers, we are behind you 100%. Thank you for your service. Hopefully the officer was not injured.

bobknows said on March 10, 2010 at 1:44 PM

Right on tomma206! Reckless endangerment of citizens for the adrenaline rush of a high speed chase and then follow it by a firing squad where they get extra paid vacation days as a reward for gunning down a "civilian." We don't need them. We don't want them. And millions of good men would be a lot better off without them.

vandamme said on March 10, 2010 at 1:41 PM

I'm so disappointed in the police officers or sheriff's deputies. Who were they any way? I think they need to take some pistol lesson from Steven Seagal. Shoot to kill, guys. Shoot to kill. Then, you'll do all the tax payers a big favor.

brentallica said on March 10, 2010 at 1:11 PM

If this criminal doesnt have insurance or the money to pay for his own medical care, he should really have to treat himself. Maybe he'll think twice before committing a crime next time. (Assuming he makes it....hopefully not.) Randomly, about twice a decade, we should just gas all the prisons/jails and start fresh. That would keep the fear of God into the habitual criminals. Stay out....cause you never know when the gasman's comin! If we lose a few of the good criminals, I can live with that.

organdonor said on March 10, 2010 at 12:33 PM

@yessir... At first I was thinking they shot him for stealing a car, until I read he rammed the officers car. Then it's fair game for the officers. It's nice they didn't shoot to kill though. Maybe this guy at only 22 years of age will wise up some. I know some find it hard to believe but there are a lot of people that actually still learn from their mistakes.

kennovak67184564 said on March 10, 2010 at 11:50 AM

Well, they could have shot this person when the back up lights came on, but waited for clairification of their intentions. Could have been worse, the officer could have killed him and be on administrative leave indeffinately, and not protecting us law abiding citizens.

mzalbo22 said on March 10, 2010 at 11:36 AM

I always find it comforting when I read the comments and the normal idiot commenters like bobknows, and tomma206 are put in their place. It's nice that there are people out there that use their brains, unlike those morons. As far as this story goes - I don't agree with officers chasing criminals in run away cars - it's dangerous for the public and dangerous to the officers - who are ALREADY risking their life daily to protect the public...However, I'm happy they caught this guy - and no officers were hurt.

newlogin86 said on March 10, 2010 at 11:05 AM

tomma206, hold on, keep waiting, i gotta finish laughing at your idiotic post! LOL.. ROTFLMAO... First, he went down a dead end and hit a tree stump.. car still driveable.. hardly a high speed chase. Guess what? Cars are considered a deadly weapon. How do you propose they stop him, genius? You just say they should have a better way but what is YOUR solution? You have none. Just a lot of whining. And guess what? Most DO give up when they have guns drawn on them. Look up your stats. Yeah, like teachers become teachers so they can ge summer vacation, cops become cops so they can kill someone to get "Paid leave pending investigation" right?

trucker45 said on March 10, 2010 at 10:56 AM

Tomma, if you expect the police to get out of the way and not apprehend the crook and chases are dangerous the only thing left is to let the crooks run rampant. It sure would be nice to be a criminal though. The police cannot do anything to you even after they catch you because it would be unfair to the crooks chance of escaping.

haylee said on March 10, 2010 at 10:53 AM

Bobknows...............just maybe if they knew the penalty was serious they would quit doing it. They blow off car theft like it is stealing a candy bar. You just must make these comments just for attention. Then again, it could be you are one of those car stealing, cop hating, candy bar stealing people. I have to laugh because if someone ripped you off you would be the first one on the phone dialing 911 and whining for help. There now you got your 5 minutes of fame.

graham said on March 10, 2010 at 10:49 AM

To bad they did'nt just take him out

yessir said on March 10, 2010 at 10:31 AM

Tomma... waiting for what? To get your pathetic ego stroked? Sounds like you've had some troubles with the law. I'm guessing that's the motivation behind your ridiculous comments

tomma206 said on March 10, 2010 at 10:24 AM

The cops use the criminals trying to escape as an excuse to kill so they get put on a vacation.If the cops were smart they would just get out of the way and follow.They should not just expect that everyone is just going to freeze and give up. Police car chases are a good example, dangerous speeds and pit moves endanger the public.They should come with a better way to stop cars.Shooting the driver wont work making his foot heavier. COPS ARE THE BIGGEST GANG OF KILLERS OUT THERE. Im waiting.....

lundgren said on March 10, 2010 at 10:21 AM

I take it back! The sheriff should've shot and KILLED him! Now, we have to pay for his hospital expenses, keeping him in jail, and the court costs. From now on, SHOOT TO KILL, guys.

lindenposterbud said on March 10, 2010 at 10:14 AM

About 12 years ago in our nice city of Puyallup, someone tried to steal my neighbors car at about 2am. He happened to be up on his ham radio and heard the thief and called out "what are you doing", granted a stupid move on his part. The thief then put a 9mm in the window he was at and one in the back of the car as he ran. You never know if it is going to be stolen for a joy ride or a felony crime that would end up in murder. My 2 cents.

lundgren said on March 10, 2010 at 9:46 AM

Good job, officers.

homeslicebryce said on March 10, 2010 at 9:36 AM

brentallica - I agree with you! They should have shot to kill. I hate oxygen wasters!

logic14 said on March 10, 2010 at 9:27 AM

BOBKNOWS......nothing. He didn't get shot for stealing a car....he got shot for ramming a patrol car. Try to read more carefully.

trucker45 said on March 10, 2010 at 9:26 AM

And the best part is if you ask the crook he will say borrowed the truck from a friend the name of who he does not know. He is also turning his life around and is normally one of the best young men you would ever want to know. Now he will be sitting in a cell complaining to everyone who will listen that the police are evil and will get what is coming to them for being so mean to him.

brentallica said on March 10, 2010 at 9:21 AM

It's a shame he wasn't killed. The world would be a better place.

unwantedguest said on March 10, 2010 at 9:15 AM

Hey bobknows...If someone is breaking into your house at night, I hope you don't call 911 to activate the "firing squad in blue shirts."

billiameveryman said on March 10, 2010 at 9:11 AM

The only thing that sucks about this is that the wounds are not life-threatening... Too many criminals are not doing us the favor of dying from the wounds caused by their stupidity... I imagine we'll be seeing a lawsuit and a parade of family members telling us what a "great kid" this guy is...

yessir said on March 10, 2010 at 8:55 AM

Let's see.... while in the process of committing a crime... he rams his vehicle into the patrol car throwing one of the officers to the ground and potentially endangers the police officers' lives... and bobknows states it's a police firing squad? What is it with the cop haters on these blogs?

fleetkanani said on March 10, 2010 at 8:17 AM

GOOD JOB!! Maybe the criminals will get the message!! I hope he hurts a very long time..

bobknows said on March 10, 2010 at 8:08 AM

No judge. No jury. No trial. Just line up a firing squad in blue shirts. The penalty for theft is getting a lot worse lately.
