Give your car a tune up before your next police chase

[metalman]

115 officers, a third of the police force on the road that night, were involved.

when the smoky haze -- caused by rapid firing of nearly 140 bullets in less than 30 seconds -- dissipated, it soon became clear that more than a dozen officers had been firing at each another across a middle school parking lot in East Cleveland.

A forensic mechanic's inspection determined "within a reasonable degree of mechanical certainty" that the Malibu had multiple conditions it would need to cause a backfire and that backfiring had occurred.
Two officers outside the Cuyahoga County Justice Center when the Malibu first sped by, beginning the chase, believed they had heard gunshots coming from the car. In addition, a guard outside the parking lot and a detective on the sixth floor of the Justice Center also believed they heard a shot.

Remember folks some here argued we should be staffing these guys in Grade Schools for 'protection'.

and some folks think your only safe, if only the police have guns

remember when seconds count, the police are only a fraction of an hour away ...
they'll arrive with trunks fully stocked with white chalk and yellow crime scene tape
