I kind of got to appreciate how Byrd even drove in the parking lot, other two cops were heavy on gas, and brakes, and turning, and Byrd was just you fellas go ahead, I'm going this way and casually doing muh thang
Police don't like to talk about it, because knowing the tactic potentially means beating the tactic, but there is actually coordination to the madness. Even if it sometimes feels like it, not all units working the chase are just following the vehicle. There are units preparing stingers, units running "cleanup" (i.e. searching items reported thrown from the vehicle or attending to collisions on the way) and units anticipating the suspects movements and blocking them in. Cops, like wolves, hunt in packs - the goal is to disorient and hussle the fleeing driver until he is exhausted or makes a mistake. That being said, it looked like the trio of troopers were called out specifically for that chase by the local PD, so most likely Trooper Byrd when running to the squad car said something along the lines of "you guys tag on, imma run interference" to his buddies - and then he was just lucky that he zigged when the suspect zagged.
True, but to be fair if you’re patrolling an area year after year you have to have the knowledge of all the streets and highways/freeways. Most good experienced cops do this. You cannot rely upon GPS - it’s a distraction. I’m a retired LEO.
Better yet, a silhouette of a car for every vehicle he's pitted, like fighter pilots did in World War Two when they shot down an enemy plane. Byrd would probably be a triple Ace by now.
@ Alvaro Q True..... Although multiple people got hurt because this POS Chump wrecked out their cars who prob dont have enough insurance to cover for damages etc.
This is why even when you are a criminal that you keep your eyes on the road and not the rearview mirror. Guy was watching for the next pit attempt and didn't even see the that road had moved. Didn't even hit the brakes until he was already hitting the first car.
I have always been super impressed with Trooper Byrd's skills.....especially with the ability he has to track down the pursuit and get right on top of the action!! Someone needs to do a new rendition of the Ghostbusters song for police pursuits in Arkansas, as we all know the answer to "Who you gonna call?".
Trooper Byrd knows the area really really well, he was navigating those surface streets with such skill and accuracy for where the pursuit was and where it was heading. You can run, but you can never hide from a law enforcement officer who knows their area!
These guys drive so darn fast! 135, or 140 mph and somehow they don't crash or wipe out other traffic! Awesome! BTW, Officer Byrd did not PIT this guy, the guy crashed. His big mistake was picking some dinky little backstreet to try to flee. That's the disadvantage every runaway baddie has to face. You have to GPS and plan your route. Byrd is like a predator, a raptor; he just extends his claws. You feel it in the way he drives!
"disadvantage every runaway baddie has to face. You have to GPS and plan your route" Sound advice for the next degenerate that decides to flee from police.
Actually from most of these videos, unless you have a supercar or V8 muscle car, most of the escapes seem to happen on residential roads because the suspect drives more recklessly than the troopers are willing to. Byrd is just hard to shake.
@@KevinSun242 You just need to know about what the police cars themselves are equipped with. The fastest police cars are the Ford Taurus Police Interceptor, which makes up to 365hp, and the Dodge Charger that makes up to 375hp. Most police cars are equipped with less powerful engines so the horsepower numbers above are a worst case scenario. The top speed is gonna be ~160-170mph for these cars. You need a fast car to outrun the cops on a simple road like the interstate, but hell even Ford Explorers are being equipped with 400hp these days. Give it another 10 years and minivans will be faster than the current fleet of cop cars.
At the end of the video, the bush, the street, and the parked car sign sacrifice themselves to end this chase. Great job by the officers to lead the driver to these amazing heroes.
Wow, good on the Byrd Man for laying off with the pit when there were parked cars close by! When I saw the thumbnail, I thought he'd pitted him into those cars, and was disappointed. Give respect, earn respect.
'm impressed that he drives extra carefully; some don't like the two who cut the corner of a parking lot headed onto the on ramp. Byrd drove to the light, then proceeded a right turn.
Not sure if they already release footage of body cams but the release of the car cams is related to transparency and at this time it appears they are one of the few state agencies who are doing this. Cams not really much for the DAs as their cases are built on many other pieces of evidence beyond a question of doubt for a jury. I know that when it comes to releasing body cam footage audit the audit is one of the few channels who will find and release that information but it is solely related to transparency at the legal level. ASP gets an A+ for the transparency. They are not releasing these videos to showboat as it is a taxpayer funded state agency and they probably appreciate any constructive criticism.
@@mjohnson9563 I appreciate that anything spoken by anyone in the car would likely be inadmissible as evidence before a caution is delivered, but continuing the visual record of activity after the pursuit is terminated might sometimes have merit, even if to protect officers from allegations of undue heavy handedness during the arrest. And let's be entirely honest, we all want to see these fools with their faces in the weeds, don't we ? Regards
Its amazing how calm Trooper Byrd is during those pursuits, even when doing PITs, you can see how precise he is, so that no other cars are damaged. Amazing. Wish you all the best Sir.
I'm not a huge fan of how many PITs ASP does, but I gotta give huge respect to Byrd here for all the PIT opportunities he passed up that would have wrecked innocent peoples vehicles or possibly damaged their homes. For a lot of people something like that would be utterly devastating. Well done. Too bad this POS didn't take the sedan-roof-temperature-challenge.
*The Byrd Byrd Byrd, the Byrd is the word* ! Imagine being the owner of that totaled car that they hit. "WTF happened to my car?!? I have to go to work in the morning!"
❤❤❤😂😂😂 You can just hear him waiting for the gate “Dang,Dang,Dang,”…Byrd, think’s like a runner, so he can anticipate their moves !!! He got the charger when no one got close enough to get the tag !!!
Byrd should have little wrecked cars decals on the side of his cruiser like fighter planes had of downed enemy planes in war.
He'd be way beyond an ace.
🤦♂️🤣🤣🤣
Byrd should have a wrecker just follow him around
@Rob Fall That comment made me laugh out loud. Thank you for that.
apparently you shouldn't say "planes" cos people "who know about planes" get upset and cry when they hear you say "planes".
The car was scared because it knew it was Trooper Byrd and it flipped itself over to end it right away.
LOL
😂😂😂
Lol...yeah, the car was like get this dumb@ss out. Here, I'll help ya.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂
I kind of got to appreciate how Byrd even drove in the parking lot, other two cops were heavy on gas, and brakes, and turning, and Byrd was just you fellas go ahead, I'm going this way and casually doing muh thang
I agree, good observation.
I noticed that too.
Bryd must have some pit bloodhound in him cause he can smell one miles away. I wonder how many pits he has initiated
Trooper Byrd is dedicated!

While other police departments are "protect and serve", Arkansas is "pit and swerve" 😂
Byrd food
the cops need more dogs, and in pairs too, dogs need attention too :)
@@HarryNicNicholas PIT bulls.
To the og commenter, nice profile name 😂
Damn, I wish I'd come up with that first. . .
Trooper Byrd is becoming an internet legend
Theres gonna be memes and Merch
Byrd is the word
@@muffcabbage9742 Thanks Peter Griffin😉
Yeah!
I'd buy a Trooper Byrd t-shirt right now. Y'know what I think I'll have one made.
I wonder if I could get trooper Byrd to sign the dash of my Roadrunner lol
You can run, but Byrd can fly.
💀
Byrd of Prey?
😂😂
it’s the BYRDMAN.
Underrated comment.
Trooper Byrd needs a loudspeaker to shout out to the perp who is behind him so he can just give up gracefully without damage.
They got loudspeakers in the cars. The switch is on the radio.
@@arnoldhenry I'm pretty sure it was a joke.
😂
Naw he needs to play surfin bird on the loudspeaker when chasing people
The more damage the better!
I still say that ASP should change "Protect & Serve" to "Fuck Around & Find Out"
You have designed my next T-Shirt with that comment. And it will be two sizes too large for exactly that reason.
Come on, David....you know the snowflakes would never allow it! ❄️🙃
The Byrd is the word
He don’t miss✊✊✊
Well, everybody's talking about the Byrd!
@@zzzaccounting5924That’s right. Bird is the word.
Just his presence caused the driver to pit themselves
😂😂
😂😂😂
That's a good one. They likely saw Byrd's cruiser license plate (A-19) and pitted themselves.
Oh shit I better drive off this cliff here
Trooper Byrd has Astounding Knowledge of the streets, to be capable of predicting where the chase was headed and to intercept like that.
True, but to be fair if you’re patrolling an area year after year you have to have the knowledge of all the streets and highways/freeways. Most good experienced cops do this. You cannot rely upon GPS - it’s a distraction.
I’m a retired LEO.
It cracks me up, an LA , CA chase will last for hours, dozens of vehicals, air support and no one does a pit that would end the chase!
I wonder if Trooper Byrd knows he is youtube famous around the world...I love this officer
Arkansas cops often ask people who flee if they have watched TH-cam.. they know they are watched by hundreds of thousands of people
I think Florida police could be better then asp
@@matthewnorman9803 better than*
Prove it!!
@@samholdsworth420 th-cam.com/video/NFW948Fv5M0/w-d-xo.html
Oh I’m sure his colleagues will be making fun and winding him up about it.
All good banter and great for keeping up morale.
They should paint wings in the sides of Byrd’s cruiser. He’s earned them.
Better yet, a silhouette of a car for every vehicle he's pitted, like fighter pilots did in World War Two when they shot down an enemy plane. Byrd would probably be a triple Ace by now.
Wouldn’t work bc he gets a new cruiser once a week. Lol
the Byrdman flying sideways through an intersection at 80MPH
"Speeds 30MPH, Traffic light"
The Byrd is the word.
That trooper who initiated the pit shook up the driver who eventually lost control. No one gets hurt. Good job ASP! ❤
That trooper was Trooper Byrd who shook him up.
He crashed because the roads don't line up at the intersection. They're off by 6 feet.
The rabbits can run.
But the byrd can fly.
The man, the legend - Trooper Byrd🙌🏼
@ Alvaro Q True..... Although multiple people got hurt because this POS Chump wrecked out their cars who prob dont have enough insurance to cover for damages etc.
I totally cannot imagine driving at those speeds. I've so much respect for those who do this tough job.
Oh me neither, Judi. I detest going 70!
The minute you see it’s The Byrd, you know it’ll be ending badly for the perpetrator 💯
I'd like to install a Byrd-detector on my next fast car, and it automatically pulls over.
Ive got something in my garage on a whole different level. Byrd couldnt make me a believer on his best day.
Ended upside down, with at least six cops pointing guns at him. Nice!
@@rs3maniac178
You peak my curiosity my son.
I build very fast cars, what puts yours at a different level?
@@rs3maniac178 Uh huh… sure. 🙄
Always a pleasure watching Trooper Byrd in action. ❤stay safe to all ASP officers.
Byrd knows his streets very well caught up to them with no problem at all
CA Police: we're going to stay a mile from them and let the copter watch them
AR Byrd: hold my beer and watch this shit!
He doesn't curse- remarks?
I meant remember?
@@patsysmothermon7861 he does but not much
Trooper Byrd executes the sweetest PIT maneuvers, hardly ever damages his car with no flips or rollevers, truly legendary 🚔
Every time I see a video with Officer Byrd, I hear the music from jaws. He is on the hunt! Plus he is a true professional.
That was awesome! I never thought 2 cars could get into a fist fight. Byrdman can box too!! And as expected a Byrdman KO in the first round!
This is why even when you are a criminal that you keep your eyes on the road and not the rearview mirror. Guy was watching for the next pit attempt and didn't even see the that road had moved. Didn't even hit the brakes until he was already hitting the first car.

p.s. I believe Trooper Byrd deserves his own TH-cam channel, and appropriately name it......"Byrd - The Man, The Myth, The LEGEND!".
Trooper Byrd knows the area really really well, he was navigating those surface streets with such skill and accuracy for where the pursuit was and where it was heading. You can run, but you can never hide from a law enforcement officer who knows their area!
Always love me some Jacob Byrd. The one, the only, the legend. Good work all LEOs. I ❤ the ASP.
Great job as always Trooper Byrd!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@Verttime364 I see a dumbass but it’s not Trooper Byrd.
@@Verttime364 bless your heart.
When I read PIT and Trooper Byrd I thought this is going to be epic. Didn't realize the moron was going to PIT himself.🤣🤣🤣
😀😃😄😁😆😅😂😂😂😂😂
Byrd catches a mouse. News at 11. Thanks for posting this. Keep up the great work.

They wipe out and crash frequently. It's part of their charm.
The Byrd Man strikes again....striking fear into the hearts of evil-doers on the highways and byways of Arkansas.
☺️
Trooper Byrd is one damn good chaser. Great Job ASP..
At the end of the video, the bush, the street, and the parked car sign sacrifice themselves to end this chase. Great job by the officers to lead the driver to these amazing heroes.
Rip bush. He served his community well
You had me at "Trooper Byrd".
Wow, good on the Byrd Man for laying off with the pit when there were parked cars close by!
When I saw the thumbnail, I thought he'd pitted him into those cars, and was disappointed.
Give respect, earn respect.
Very professional and very exciting!! Way to go Officer Byrd!!
Self terminations are so satisfying especially when nobody else gets hurt in the process.
Love how Trooper Byrd got into the chase and took care of the problem
Legend has it Arkansas State Police put a push bar on his push bar just so he can PIT more criminals
That driver got the Byrd!
Holy! That state police detachment building was huge. Wasn't expecting that.
YES! Love me some good ASP Pits by Trooper Byrd.
He was so focused on Super Byrd 🦅 he forgot to look where he was going.
IKR! 😆
Excellent job as always ASP
Trooper Byrd should write a book.. Maybe call it "Zen and the Art of the Pit Maneuver."
We love the Byrd man and his no nonsense actions.
Byrd, Byrd, Byrd, Byrd is the word as the song goes.👮
'm impressed that he drives extra carefully; some don't like the two who cut the corner of a parking lot headed onto the on ramp. Byrd drove to the light, then proceeded a right turn.
Too busy looking at the Byrd in the rear view mirror after a few love taps
Totally love Trooper Byrd!! The whole force is completely awesome. Hopefully I can get stronger and meet in person to shake some hands.😘
Trooper Byrd needs a scat pack! Byrd, Byrd Byrd is the word!💙🇺🇸
That self-pit at the end was great, LOL! 😂
I love watching Trooper Byrd fly over the highways and kiss the back end to pit the runaway vehicle! LOL!! Stay safe out there officers!
Bryd is the Chuck Norris of pursuits.
Byrd's the MAN!
Perp was like, "Hell, Trooper Byrd. You want a PIT? Let me show you a proper PIT." Perp then self PITs.
ASP's Trooper Byrd, is the "Prime Time Asphalt Rodeo Rockstar". ★★★★★ 👀 👍
Byrd swooping in and clinging to them like seran wrap freaked them out so badly they forgot how to drive
Great job Officer Byrd! You rock!
Trooper Byrd made the Kessel run in less than eleven parsecs… and PIT’ed Han Solo.
I would have figured him for Bubba Fett, he caught Solo.
Officer Byrd is becoming a legend in his own time . The others are no slough either.
Great assist! Loved it! Professionally handled ASP! Love it Trooper Byrd!
He must have loved bumper cars as a kid. I think all of the ASP are amazing but his demeanor is quite impressive!😅
Officer Byrd is so quick to put end at a poursuit we should start to call him "Lighting Byrd"
Super Trooper Byrd can technically put another notch in his belt.
Beware of the Byrd!
Byrd is the king of pits!
Oh how we love our dear and adorable Trooper Byrd!🥰 Bring that boot here Troop!😋😘
I'm still hoping for bodycams one day, a lot is missed sometimes after the end of a pursuit. Probably help with prosecutions as well occasionally.

Like watching an NFL tackle go after a high school halfback. Very professional.

Tried to drive down the path as the road is a little to the right sunshine? Humiliation!

Every state has their own Byrd. Not bashing him, just saying to all the city folk..watch out, they’re everywhere!
Good job, when will they learn. Thankyou officers!
Those dam offset roads. Great driving by the Byrd man.
*The Byrd Byrd Byrd, the Byrd is the word* !
Imagine being the owner of that totaled car that they hit. "WTF happened to my car?!? I have to go to work in the morning!"
You should show the perps face at the end and even put them on the thumbnail for maximum public humiliation.
Guy was probably looking in his mirror when he crashed lol
Trooper Byrd doesnt follow the other cruisers out of the lot. He forges his own exit strategy.
6:20 Dude was brake checking the Byrd, until he felt that first contact. Then no more brake checking.
Certainly no shortage of idiots in Arkansas.
Wow! Incredible driving
Thank God for police officers.....
Yet again, Byrd plays mind games with the getaway driver and leads them into a huge mistake. He is a master of the tactical pursuit.
❤❤❤😂😂😂 You can just hear him waiting for the gate “Dang,Dang,Dang,”…Byrd, think’s like a runner, so he can anticipate their moves !!! He got the charger when no one got close enough to get the tag !!!
My kids love Trooper Byrd they will just about fight to be the first to watch his new videos
Got to love that byrd
He did everything different on his way 💪🏻😏
A real good dose of Karma for the fleeing suspect at the end, I'll bet that hurt like hell. Great job ASP ! !
Once again ASP gave the bad guy the Byrd !
Nice start to shift... leave the lot and... the chase is on.
Byrd gotta fly.
