In my opinion people that are acting like that are no different than someone attacking people with a weapon. If they are a clear and present danger to the public at large they should we dealt with in the same way.
Yes of course as the "bad" guy endangered the lives of everyone by his reckless driving and carjacking some citizens. Thus, he used those cars as weapons and if he had a actual weapon when he tried/succeeded to carjack, he will be charged and put away for a long time.

My mother spent the last five years of her life in constant pain after a car she was riding in was rammed by someone or some people on a similar spree (never captured as far as I know). So, despite the almost humorous quality of the chase, the carjacker in this video is actually wielding a weapon. Sort of like firing a gun into a crowd but trying to miss hitting anyone. Eventually you are going to hit someone.
So glad that they caught him and nobody was seriously injured. Hopefully they can come up with enough charges that will put him away for good. Perhaps they can allow for the chopper to have a sniper on board to take out a target like that??? Way to go Boys in Blue, keep up the good fight!

The thing to do is back off the pursuit, WAY WAY off, and let the helicopter follow. This kind of thing has been followed for a while now, is why more and more departments are implementing no-pursuit policies except in extreme cases. It's just STOOOOOPID to suggest deadly force when to get that close, you could just take a tire out or ram, etc. Breaking a law does not automatically make it acceptable to kill someone.

Bro definitely thought he was playing GTA when he stopped to carjack the convertible sports car, then crashes into and steals the next one. This is too good :D
Not necessarily, if someone tries to carjack and the first thing you do is shoot them, you may be up for a manslaughter charge so you just use the weapon as a deterrent and the would be jacker, moves on because he's too pumped to stand still.
You might be wrong there. Kenneth Lunford, the alleged driver, is guilty of nothing and so far is only alleged to be the alleged driver. Surprise, surprise - he happens to look a whole lot like Jussie Floyd or Bubba Smollett and the media, by releasing his photo, has opened the possibility for him to claim systematic organic unconscious conscious r-eight-cism is at work. The Patron Saint of Minneapolis, George, who took his drugs straight, I read here, ... straight up his bum to enhance the thrill, earned his family USD$27 million by being un-whitish. What did Minneapolis Municipal Council say to his family when they suddenly appeared from everywhere? "Would you like that in cash or a cheque?"
@@stinkycheese804 No deterrent. Displaying a firearm as a deterrent is a felony assault. Training teaches you never display or point a weapon as a deterrent. If the situation is serious enough to pull a firearm (like while being carjacked), you use it. Warning shots and display are foolish and illegal. They show the situation hadn't escalated high enough to allow deadly force if you feel safe enough to intentionally miss or not fire at all. Thus, not legal to display it as a threat either.
@No limit ty Nope, stand your ground is a thing, if you are not in imminent danger of severe bodily harm, more often than not, shooting someone attempting a theft, will get you put in prison far longer than the theft charge would have for your victim. Sorry to point out FACTS, this is not the wild west. It is even absurd that you think you are correct. "Theft", really? So you walk in to walmart, shoplift, and they can just put a sniper at the door and gun you down because they feel like it? You have no clue whatsoever about reality.
@@elessartelcontar9415 Nope, I am correct, there are cases where the victim was put on trial and convicted. In fact, you can use deadly force to protect yourself or others from bodily harm but not just to protect property.
@@GizmoMaltese The door flopping open, running through the fences. Pulling in front of the vette (Coquette). Picking the damaged Mustang (Dominator) instead of another slower car nearby. I bet this guy has a LOT of GTA playing time.
the perp’s lack of concern for anyone but himself is appalling. thank goodness he was apprehended with no serious injuries. excellent video from the aerial perspective!
Gotta love how they ask permission to ram the car causing all the mayhem but no big deal slam into the innocent bystanders car and let the mustang go 🤦🏼♂️
The way those people just gave up that Mustang without a fight shows the importance of martial arts and boxing. Imagine if it happened to be Conor McGregor's convertible by chance.
Wow a supervisor with balls the 9:15 mark. All those charges would add up to life in a Florida state prison if served consecutively but I'm sure that some state attorney would look for an easy disposition due to so many charges and people involved so they'll offer him a sweetheart plea bargain of 5, maybe 10 years because that's what they do best so every 4 years, their boss can go to the voters touting their high conviction rate but no one in the audience asks how many were through plea deals and how many cases did you cherry pick and toss out the ones you felt you wouldn't (not couldn't) win.
... or the types of cases that will actually work to keep chaos off the streets. Always follow the money. Know where campaign funds are coming from. Keep the Gardner's, Foxx's, Schmidt's and Gascon's of the world as far away as possible.
Typically a good DA will offer a plea that is in line with what the judge is likely to give anyway. Just without all the costs and possibilities for a case to go bad.
@@Relayer6a - Good DA's wouldn't be so quick with the easy plea's and for generous sentences. Judges want their calendar to move along quickly too and they are just making it all that easier on them. If they judge won't go along with a tougher sentence the DA's want or agree to a more lengthier sentence in a plea deal, then DA's can make send a message too that if they are going to be lenient, then they'll take more cases to trial. I've been watching a lot of pursuits out of Arkansas and seeing the disposition of some and I'm flabbergasted that after all the lives put in danger, a DA would be part of a sentence that nets the offender a year in jail......with all but one or two days suspended. Something is wrong there that can only be remedied by the judges and prosecutors getting out into the real world. Maybe if they did some ride a-longs with the ASP and got into one of their pursuits, it would open those closed eyes.
@@joed9491 I lived in E. Texas for about 10 years. I can tell you that these small towns can't afford to keep people incarcerated. Maybe it's the same where you live?
@@Relayer6a - the county should bare the cost of incarceration if the sentence is a year or less. Over a year should be the state because they would then be in a state prison system if they received a proper sentence
Cop almost rammed him into that lady with the stroller. Have to be more discerning when making that decision. I, too, wanted him taken down the whole time but you have to be VERY AWARE when you ram a suspect vehicle. I wanted this guy to get s**t kicked by somebody. He's such a selfish piece of s**t. I hope he suffers in prison. I have more respect for thieves and drug dealers than I do for this guy.
Drug dealers need the money to feed themselves and/or their family, whereas drug users literally consent to consuming drugs, whatever it is they're buying. Attempted murder or vehicular homicide falls far out of that umbrella.
@@slartybarfastb3648 Exactly!!! Since when was drug selling part of the education system? Some people use poor upbringing as an excuse however, people do sell drugs so that they can live a comfortable life quicker than if they had to get a real job.
So, the officer t-boned a private citizen's car anyway? He couldn't turn his steering wheel so he'd miss that innocent car/driver. I saw a person rolling on the ground, on the smashed car's right side... ? EMS ?
Good job however I believe at times the officers asking permission to engage when the danger to the public is so extreme shows how micro-management and political rules impede on law enforcement being able to make skilled decisions in situations. The lack of enforcement ahead of the suspect to block of intersections in the path of the chase increased danger to citizens. Also once law enforcement allowed the suspect to crash and enough time to proceed to car jack another vehicle shows they are giving the criminal to much space and time to continue. Use of deadly force would have used once the man attempted to car jack another person IF crossfire was clear of any people IF given the chance to end this danger to the public. Many pedestrians nearly lost their lives and the child in the stroller. Respect to the law enforcement however learn from this situation how to end this much sooner and safer if possible.
Agree they should have gave the order shoot to kill stop him I don't give a shit how you do it. Blm and the democraps have law enforcement handcuffed unable to do their jobs for fear of being arrested or fired/ sued
Terrific graphics, good job guys. This was awesome. What a jerk. Why don't they charge these guys with attempted murder as well as all the traffic violations. 3 motorcyclists, 2 cyclists, the crash victims, all of them. Golly just throw the book at him.
How slow are the police vehicles like for reals are they Hugo's from the '80s or are they Priuses. I never seen it where somebody can literally go up to multiple people and carjack them while in a police pursuit.
@@jasonlopez4855 The police aren’t driving as recklessly, so they’re not going at the same rate of speed as the suspect unless they can without being reckless.
First, the city streets is not a freeway. Second, they got a helicopter. And third, the cops on the ground don't want to wreck anybody on a major scale during a chase like this, as the roads before the end of this chase are a bit narrow and too crowded to do a tactic...Even there's a bike lane on either sides. This is not NFS Most Wanted-ish type of pursuits.
Honestly, that was just embarrassing. Especially the first officer that finally caught up to him several minutes before the crash. He was pathetic. You could tell he was scared when he said "permission to ram him". Yes, dummy. But he still could do it, even with a fish-tailing car with a blown rear tire. His dumb reaction, hesitations, fear and poor decision-making, nearly got a baby in a stroller ran over. Send these cops to Arkansas for training on how to take out a fleeing vehicle.
I’ve seen better police response in Mexico car jacking , where are the police units? Maybe they are afraid they will get fired if they engage in the chase. When seconds count, officers are just 10 minutes away. Sad times, criminals are free to run among us.
Nah,most people are extremely armed like crazy these damn days and oh dude would die in the blink of an eye had he continued much longer and had he kept putting peoples lives at risk. If the cops won't do anything then WE fucking will! Like oh dude in the corvette,he told that bitch,fuck you and suck my nuts bitch.Also had that been in like Mississippi where i live and he tried to carjack someone like that then most people would've legit shot his ass dead in the forehead and just pulled off creeping really slow like NOTHING ever happened. I've seen it happen many many times around here and we don't play that shit unlike the people do from wherever he is at. He might hurt a few older people or other unfortunates sadly in the process but it truthfully wouldn't take long before someone executed his dumbass and he deserves every bit of it.

Just wait, someone will make an excuse that they think you are just about to do something horrible and they MUST STOP YOU.
The thing to do is back off the pursuit, WAY WAY off, and let the helicopter follow. This kind of thing has been followed for a while now, is why more and more departments are implementing no-pursuit policies except in extreme cases.
It's just STOOOOOPID to suggest deadly force when to get that close, you could just take a tire out or ram, etc. Breaking a law does not automatically make it acceptable to kill someone. What a messed up world that would be, glad that we don't live like that and I KNOW for certain you don't, or else you'd see the problem with it.
Bro definitely thought he was playing GTA when he stopped to carjack the convertible sports car, then crashes into and steals the next one. This is too good :D
if one of those people he was trying to carjack was armed that chase would have been over quick.
Not necessarily, if someone tries to carjack and the first thing you do is shoot them, you may be up for a manslaughter charge so you just use the weapon as a deterrent and the would be jacker, moves on because he's too pumped to stand still.
You might be wrong there. Kenneth Lunford, the alleged driver, is guilty of nothing and so far is only alleged to be the alleged driver. Surprise, surprise - he happens to look a whole lot like Jussie Floyd or Bubba Smollett and the media, by releasing his photo, has opened the possibility for him to claim systematic organic unconscious conscious r-eight-cism is at work. The Patron Saint of Minneapolis, George, who took his drugs straight, I read here, ... straight up his bum to enhance the thrill, earned his family USD$27 million by being un-whitish. What did Minneapolis Municipal Council say to his family when they suddenly appeared from everywhere? "Would you like that in cash or a cheque?"
@@stinkycheese804 No deterrent. Displaying a firearm as a deterrent is a felony assault.
Training teaches you never display or point a weapon as a deterrent. If the situation is serious enough to pull a firearm (like while being carjacked), you use it.
Warning shots and display are foolish and illegal. They show the situation hadn't escalated high enough to allow deadly force if you feel safe enough to intentionally miss or not fire at all. Thus, not legal to display it as a threat either.
@No limit ty Nope, stand your ground is a thing, if you are not in imminent danger of severe bodily harm, more often than not, shooting someone attempting a theft, will get you put in prison far longer than the theft charge would have for your victim. Sorry to point out FACTS, this is not the wild west.
It is even absurd that you think you are correct. "Theft", really? So you walk in to walmart, shoplift, and they can just put a sniper at the door and gun you down because they feel like it? You have no clue whatsoever about reality.
@@elessartelcontar9415 Nope, I am correct, there are cases where the victim was put on trial and convicted. In fact, you can use deadly force to protect yourself or others from bodily harm but not just to protect property.
Corvette owner pulled the Uno reverse card.
Excellent call from the helicopter pilot!
People are giving props to the Vette guy, but how about the woman who managed to avoid her and her baby from being ran over at 12:15.....Go Momma go!
Real Life G.T.A! I hope he gets a long time inside.
This is the closest to real life GTA I've ever seen. Helicopters, multiple carjacks, even having a failed carjack just like in the game.
@@GizmoMaltese The door flopping open, running through the fences. Pulling in front of the vette (Coquette). Picking the damaged Mustang (Dominator) instead of another slower car nearby. I bet this guy has a LOT of GTA playing time.
Here in California the carjacker would be out of jail before they cleaned up the mess.
That was a close call at 12:19. Unsure if there was a kid in that stroller but if there was that guy is father of the year.
"we gotta get this guy stopped" .... well stop chasing him and he'll most likely stop.
If ONE Brazilian Police Helicopter responded, this video would be 1 minute long.
Yeah pretty much, Brazil isn't a fucking joke from what I've seen on uncensored NSFL media-sharing sites.
ROFL!
the perp’s lack of concern for anyone but himself is appalling.
thank goodness he was apprehended with no serious injuries.
excellent video from the aerial perspective!
Why would you get out of your mustang
I was kinda disappointed for a second when he didn't get the corvette.
SWAPPING HIS 9MM RUGER FOR HIS 9" BONER 💪
Always carry! The best way to avoid being a victim.
Brother I’m with you…coming back from 2 years in Afghanistan I’m appalled at the behavior of people
I like the communication from the pilot. It shows they care..👮🇱🇷
Gotta love how they ask permission to ram the car causing all the mayhem but no big deal slam into the innocent bystanders car and let the mustang go 🤦🏼♂️
The way those people just gave up that Mustang without a fight shows the importance of martial arts and boxing. Imagine if it happened to be Conor McGregor's convertible by chance.
They were probably still dazed a bit from the crash a few seconds earlier.
Between him and his trash daddy they have over *30* *ARRESTS* combined???
Wow a supervisor with balls the 9:15 mark. All those charges would add up to life in a Florida state prison if served consecutively but I'm sure that some state attorney would look for an easy disposition due to so many charges and people involved so they'll offer him a sweetheart plea bargain of 5, maybe 10 years because that's what they do best so every 4 years, their boss can go to the voters touting their high conviction rate but no one in the audience asks how many were through plea deals and how many cases did you cherry pick and toss out the ones you felt you wouldn't (not couldn't) win.
... or the types of cases that will actually work to keep chaos off the streets. Always follow the money. Know where campaign funds are coming from. Keep the Gardner's, Foxx's, Schmidt's and Gascon's of the world as far away as possible.
Typically a good DA will offer a plea that is in line with what the judge is likely to give anyway. Just without all the costs and possibilities for a case to go bad.
@@Relayer6a - Good DA's wouldn't be so quick with the easy plea's and for generous sentences. Judges want their calendar to move along quickly too and they are just making it all that easier on them. If they judge won't go along with a tougher sentence the DA's want or agree to a more lengthier sentence in a plea deal, then DA's can make send a message too that if they are going to be lenient, then they'll take more cases to trial.
I've been watching a lot of pursuits out of Arkansas and seeing the disposition of some and I'm flabbergasted that after all the lives put in danger, a DA would be part of a sentence that nets the offender a year in jail......with all but one or two days suspended. Something is wrong there that can only be remedied by the judges and prosecutors getting out into the real world. Maybe if they did some ride a-longs with the ASP and got into one of their pursuits, it would open those closed eyes.
@@joed9491 I lived in E. Texas for about 10 years. I can tell you that these small towns can't afford to keep people incarcerated. Maybe it's the same where you live?
@@Relayer6a - the county should bare the cost of incarceration if the sentence is a year or less. Over a year should be the state because they would then be in a state prison system if they received a proper sentence
where is a man eating crocodile when you need one.
For all of you looking for the part with the corvette, the thumbnail.... it is at the 8:30 mark. Thanks.
Cop almost rammed him into that lady with the stroller. Have to be more discerning when making that decision. I, too, wanted him taken down the whole time but you have to be VERY AWARE when you ram a suspect vehicle. I wanted this guy to get s**t kicked by somebody. He's such a selfish piece of s**t. I hope he suffers in prison. I have more respect for thieves and drug dealers than I do for this guy.
Drug dealers need the money to feed themselves and/or their family, whereas drug users literally consent to consuming drugs, whatever it is they're buying. Attempted murder or vehicular homicide falls far out of that umbrella.
@@IceDrip550 Get an education, get a job. That's how they can feed themself and their family. Selling drugs is the only option? Bullshit
@@slartybarfastb3648 Exactly!!! Since when was drug selling part of the education system? Some people use poor upbringing as an excuse however, people do sell drugs so that they can live a comfortable life quicker than if they had to get a real job.
tbf he was already spinning out. and likely to hit that car and end up around the pedestrians regardless
@@shardhoney I suppose that's true. A lot happens so quickly in these situations.
What is the final verdict?
Clearwater Police definitely require driving courses as their attempt at stopping the culprit was amateurish at best!
Need to hire some boys from ASP
ASP!
Like Keystone Cops chasing someone, I guess all the flat lands and straight roads there make the officers scared of turning.
Seriously; and the cop SUV broadsided the poor bystander SUV at the end of the chase. Hope they are ok.
Clearwater police need Dodge Chargers with 5.7 Hemi's....those heavy underpowered SUV's were no match for a Chevy Malibu with a V6 engine.
👎 What the heck? All that and you didn't show the arrest. Very disappointing. I wanted to see that guy in cuffs.
See.. this is reason I keep saying We need Flying Police K9's with freaking laser beam eyes!
😂
ROR….it is California….”your violating my civil rights”
Too bad the S.O. helicopter did not have a sniper on board who could have ended this much quicker.
I'm very impressed with the camera technology!
I wish the police chases on the news in the LA area looked like this. All we get to see most of the time is a real tight shot of the fleeing vehicle.
What would happen if he got the taser while in the water?
12:15 OMG! 👶🏼 - Put your Where’s Waldo Glasses on at this part. There’s like 5 crazy things that happen at once. Can you count them all? 😇
He just needs a hug.
I find it troubling that there are no law enforcement officers trying to stop him. Whats up?
Difficulty? That chase seemed very difficult. I'm not counting the number of risks. I've seen easier chases, just saying
At that point during the chase, if they fishtail him, he would end up crashing into a pedestrian or a car
So, the officer t-boned a private citizen's car anyway? He couldn't turn his steering wheel so he'd miss that innocent car/driver. I saw a person rolling on the ground, on the smashed car's right side... ? EMS ?
You saw that cop miss him and strike the other civilian car 😂😂😂 12:20
Did they really catch him? Why did they stop the transmission before? I'd wish I could have watched how they caught him!!
A giant shark ate him.
who all was expecting it to be a black guy, but was surprised it was a white guy? Then, searched his name?
That cop that drove that t-bone home must of hurt, I hope that the cop and bystanders in the white car is okay
Wow the new graphics program is nice!! I bet the chopper guys are loving that!!!
I work on the beach, shit was crazy, we saw the whole thing live
nice
What happened at the end
It was beneficial. Thanks for sharing.
Good job however I believe at times the officers asking permission to engage when the danger to the public is so extreme shows how micro-management and political rules impede on law enforcement being able to make skilled decisions in situations. The lack of enforcement ahead of the suspect to block of intersections in the path of the chase increased danger to citizens. Also once law enforcement allowed the suspect to crash and enough time to proceed to car jack another vehicle shows they are giving the criminal to much space and time to continue. Use of deadly force would have used once the man attempted to car jack another person IF crossfire was clear of any people IF given the chance to end this danger to the public. Many pedestrians nearly lost their lives and the child in the stroller. Respect to the law enforcement however learn from this situation how to end this much sooner and safer if possible.
No one asked loser
Agree they should have gave the order shoot to kill stop him I don't give a shit how you do it. Blm and the democraps have law enforcement handcuffed unable to do their jobs for fear of being arrested or fired/ sued
Easy arm-chair quarterbacking isn’t it?
That's a sick HUD with the navi but no missles or rockets ? At least a mini-gun. Shit coulda been over real quick
If a dog is a danger to the environment, they also put it to sleep, unbelievable that people have no respect voor other life….
Terrific graphics, good job guys. This was awesome. What a jerk. Why don't they charge these guys with attempted murder as well as all the traffic violations. 3 motorcyclists, 2 cyclists, the crash victims, all of them. Golly just throw the book at him.
those officers need to go to ARKANSAS for some chase training
ASP would take care of business
Too bad his parents didn't raise him better...🧐
Plot twist: An alligator finished this piece of work after the video ends.
Wishful thinking.
We could only hope
According to my friend who’s a deputy at the sheriffs office, after he was fished out of the water he kept resisting even more on the boat
Where's an alligator when you need one
How slow are the police vehicles like for reals are they Hugo's from the '80s or are they Priuses. I never seen it where somebody can literally go up to multiple people and carjack them while in a police pursuit.
It's easy to criticize from your mom's basement. Try a ride along with an Officer and see how you think then.
@@Oceangirl_505 how old do you think I am. I own my own company.
You need to get a job.
@@jasonlopez4855 The police aren’t driving as recklessly, so they’re not going at the same rate of speed as the suspect unless they can without being reckless.
First, the city streets is not a freeway. Second, they got a helicopter. And third, the cops on the ground don't want to wreck anybody on a major scale during a chase like this, as the roads before the end of this chase are a bit narrow and too crowded to do a tactic...Even there's a bike lane on either sides. This is not NFS Most Wanted-ish type of pursuits.
When he was swimming the police should have released their precinct alligator to retrieve him.
I like it! Police A-9s.
We gotta get this guy stopped
Thank you, Captain Obvious 🤣
Honestly, that was just embarrassing. Especially the first officer that finally caught up to him several minutes before the crash. He was pathetic. You could tell he was scared when he said "permission to ram him". Yes, dummy. But he still could do it, even with a fish-tailing car with a blown rear tire. His dumb reaction, hesitations, fear and poor decision-making, nearly got a baby in a stroller ran over.
Send these cops to Arkansas for training on how to take out a fleeing vehicle.
Seconded on reckless ramming. I would imagine ramming permission is for confirmation so he doesnt get hooked.
@@kopazwashere im sure you were protesting on behalf of the families after watching this
SoFlo is crawling with hungry 'gators, but they're never around when you need them...
Where's a hungry croc when you need one?
I’ve seen better police response in Mexico car jacking , where are the police units? Maybe they are afraid they will get fired if they engage in the chase. When seconds count, officers are just 10 minutes away. Sad times, criminals are free to run among us.
Nah,most people are extremely armed like crazy these damn days and oh dude would die in the blink of an eye had he continued much longer and had he kept putting peoples lives at risk. If the cops won't do anything then WE fucking will! Like oh dude in the corvette,he told that bitch,fuck you and suck my nuts bitch.Also had that been in like Mississippi where i live and he tried to carjack someone like that then most people would've legit shot his ass dead in the forehead and just pulled off creeping really slow like NOTHING ever happened. I've seen it happen many many times around here and we don't play that shit unlike the people do from wherever he is at. He might hurt a few older people or other unfortunates sadly in the process but it truthfully wouldn't take long before someone executed his dumbass and he deserves every bit of it.
Man, this would have been bad ass if he was able to get that Vette.
FUCK YEAH!👊
Worst job of appending someone I've seen. He should have been stopped way sooner
That guy running with a stroller, made go "AY AY AY!!!" Glad it missed! Uff
He was released 2 days later because he promised to come to court.
Liar. Fictitious crap.
That cop took out the wrong car 12:18
