It’s a cliche, but I have to say that police pursuits televised from helicopters still make for pretty hypnotic TV. The cops have been chasing a carjacked pickup truck around the San Fernando Valley this afternoon. Finally, about ten minutes ago, the truck slows down and the cops bump it into a spin. Four cops level their guns at the driver who slowly gets out … and it’s a black lady in a purple Easter coat. She raises her hands in submission … and then she dashes (in a feminine Tracy Morgan-in-drag way) for the driver’s seat of an empty police cruiser.
The cops jump on her, yank her out of their cop car, and eventually handcuff her.

I wonder what drugs she is on?
Since she is Black, either bath salts or crack.

You have to admit…they’re a very entertaining race.
"Jim didn't hate blacks! He thought they were funny as hell...when they weren't robbing, raping, and killing".
While not condoning what Leshkevich did, I do think it was hilarious what Leshkevich himself did immediately before his own demise. He put up a picture of Ariel Sharon's son (who did something illegal in Israel and was in big trouble, as I recall) and captioned it as himself on his blog. News sources all over the country, including the Jewish Daily Forward's website, ran the picture with the story as being Leshkevich. It took at least two weeks for the shoe to drop on that one as I recall.
You don’t see black women in too many pickup trucks.
I worked with a Mexican woman who drove a '71 Chevy shortbed and I asked her why she preferred this vehicle (aside from it being a pretty sharp looking truck if I did say so myself...67-72 is the coolest series for Chevy trucks.) She said the above, plus, when she drove around with her husband in the Suburban she had, occasionally he would want to pull over somewhere and go in back for a little fun. "That's why I bought it, it's got bucket seats out of a Mustang. "
Yeah, the San Fernando Valley is only a few percent black, but if you stipulated that the driver who is committing about 175 felonies and moving violations is a lady in a purple Easter coat, well the odds of her being black go way up.
Is that because the rent in The San Fernando Valley is too damn high?

After someone is involved in a highly publicized car chase, do they get a standing ovation when they enter the cell block?
Maybe she’s Lucretia Richardson!

No doubt a Hillary voter.
Happy Easter! (I hope your bunny is okay, Steve.)
This is one of many SoCal cultural contributions that is probably coming to an end. Quite a few municipalities have realized that the number of bystander and police deaths that happen during car chases is not worth it to catch some guy who knocked over a liquor store or whatever.
Full-strength Negro.
The older mestizas whose kids are grown up often drive them or Corvettes, occasionally Miatas, so the adult kids aren’t trying to borrow them all the time. Their kids won’t fit.

I’ll never forget the line a WN commentator told a liberal interviewer when he was asked about the late James “Yankee Jim” Leshkevich, an East Coast member of various white power outfits and podcaster who killed his wife and then himself after a particularly ugly marital conflict. He was asked why the late Yankee Jim “hated blacks so much”.

Still remember that low-speed O.J. Simpson “chase” travesty. All those clowns holding pro-Simpson signs on top of all the overpasses. I knew right then and there that the whole trial thing would be a dismal three ring circus.
What on earth is an Easter coat?
Something purple or yellow you wear on Easter.
Soon they’ll have spotter drones and maybe drones with disabling capabilities. Heck, not long after that they’ll have stand off brain-zapper devices to incapacitate someone instantly.
Actually the LAPD has toned it down a lot, They’ll often sit back and let the perp run out of road so to speak in many cases. It’s only when the the perp is a threat to other drivers do they try to take him down ASAP. San Bernadino also allows a police sharpshooter to shoot the vehicle and driver from a helicopter if they perceive the perp as a threat and did so a few months back.
That was fun. These car chases could easily replace football as America’s favorite spectator sport.
Ah. This is a black/California thing, I guess? Easter bonnets I’ve heard of, and some Catholic women wear white on Easter, but purple/yellow seems more reminiscent of lurid people-of-Wal-Mart Easter egg colors.
(I'm too straight to know whether or not she looked absolutely fabulous.)

It happened on Easter, and it’s purple. That’s why he’s calling it the “purple Easter coat”. That’s all there is to it.
Fox News showed one of these chases a few years ago, which ended with the fugitive shooting himself. Shepard Smith apologized for them showing that, and I thought: you’d really show the whole chase and not the climax of it?

They were supposed to put the live feed on a ten-second delay. Someone in the control room screwed up (and doubtlessly lost his job for it).
Right after the guy dropped to the ground, having blown a hole in his head on national television, they cut to Smith at the anchor desk shouting "Get off it! Get off it! GET OFF IT!" for roughly ten seconds.
If you watch the clip, you can see how royally pissed off* he was when he realized that the suicide, live and uncensored, had gone out over the air.
Fox then cut to a commercial. When Smith came back, he apologized and explained what had happened.
*Incidentally, there are reports that Smith, who is often seen on the town in the company of a tall, dark man who is some 25 years his junior, is not the nicest, most-even-tempered guy you'll ever meet. But anyone would have been angry about what'd happened.Replies: @AndrewR, @Jefferson
In my little corner of South Florida, the respectable elderly Anglo ladies* parading about in their Easter finest seemed to go for white or yellow outfits with pink or purple accessories this year. One yellow-clad woman I know sported pink pearls and pink egg-shaped earrings.

Did suicide really seem like a completely unpredictable and improbable result of a chase like this where the criminal is facing a certain life sentence or at least decades in prison?
Sure they could have put the delay on but if you're going to cover a story like that live then you can't complain when it ends like it did. Worried that children will be traumatized by seeing stuff like that on TV? Then the news shouldn't do live coverage and parents shouldn't let their kids watch these things. Plus I highly doubt that any serious psychological trauma would result to a single person even if the entire world were watching. It wasn't even graphic lol. Bud Dwyer's end was far more graphic and also televised hours later on the evening news.
Dark as in a White man who's hair color is black or dark brown or dark as in a Nonwhite man?

Isn’t the trend now more toward just shooting the driver than trying to chase him down? This follows the overall trend toward zero-risk policing where cops shoot anybody who might conceivably present any threat at any time past or future.

Key Biscayne? Pinecrest? Davie? Cooper City? Or out in Redlands with Drudge?
I’m too paranoid to tell you *exactly* where I am. Somewhere in Dade.
I support that philosophy.
No, no, no, everyone knows the televised car chase was invented by an upstart global news network operating out of New York City. See Anchorman 2.
I used to get chased by Fairfax County helicopters when I was in high school and the last time they did I got shipped to southern Utah for a term. Loved it always will. Anyways this one kid out there had a high speed story. High speed chase for two hours and he beat he em. Winds up at a McDonalds and as he’s in the bathroom one of the state cops like on guard over the radio all ready to chase except gettin a quick mickie-d bite to-go tris to pick up his outlaw girlfriend and goes ahead and tells her whats up on the scanner. I think she was the real bad ass. Anyways that saves them any trouble. She got the cop’s number.
Tarantino’s Hateful Eight would have been less vile with the female villain showing herself dangerously unpredictable like this. His stuntwoman/actress Zoe Bell could play such a character convincingly. The Daisy Domergue character does nothing except talk back and get her face broken for doing so, over and over. The ending where with wrecked face and smashed teeth she is lynched while being mocked to her last breath is truly warped.
Those racist cops showed the sister no respect whatsoever. They should all be fired now. Who going to pay for her bumper damage? Let her go!
Quick, Steve–get the name(s) of the car-chase tv-news helicopter pilot(s)!!!
So we can see if they trans-mogrify in the future, of course.

Also Gawker and Perez Hilton have constantly said that Shepard Smith is a Homosexual.
I was sort of hinting around about his being a bitchy gay guy who yells at waitresses without saying, in so many words, "He's a bitchy gay guy who yells at waitresses."
Gawker has reported that he wanted to come out three years ago, but Roger Ailes wouldn't let him.
In the mid-90’s there was a service in LA that would page your beeper (!) when there was a live car chase in the Southland…
This is one area in which South Africa trumps California….enjoy.
