🚨 2024 Funny Backstory: David W Barber, 49, -is- [was] due in court on March 13, 2023 on felony charges of terroristic threatening and fleeing. Couldn't find an update, so might have pleaded out. Idk Allegedly, supposedly, maybe, who really knows, he had grenades and weapons in the truck after making threats which s why there was such a priority to stop him. ps he looks like the Unabomber. His mugshot is on mugshotzone. Now this is FUNNY!!! 🤣 For those commenting about the PIT into incoming traffic, the only reason there is any info out there on this stop was because this case was used by some people challenging TVIs as part of LE tools. Claiming they are dangerous. (Really? Oh no! 🙄) The ASP addressed the concerns by referring to the TVI instructions that strongly suggest TVIs be performed at 35mph or less. [🤣] However, it was pointed out that it is up to the officer"s discretion. 🚓🚨🚓🚨🚓 Interesting enough, it was also mentioned that the body and dash cam videos have become popular and revenues generated help with LE training such as the TVI course. Details from THV11 Author: Rolly Hoyt Published: 11:03 PM CST February 21, 2023, Updated: 11:03 PM CST February 21, 2023 September 15, 2022, Conway Police alerted troopers that a suspect named David [Wayne] Barber, 49, was trying to escape arrest for threatening, by flying toward North Little Rock at greater than 100MPH. Trooper Joseph Killian intercepted the blue Chevy pick-up just past the interchange with I-430 and I-40. He became the primary officer as the suspect weaved across all three lanes and both shoulders through one of the busiest highways in the state. Five minutes after taking up the chase and just past the complicated I-30 terminal and split to US 67/167. Trooper Mark Blackerby then took charge and delivered a fateful order. "I got the radio. Just drive," he said. "When you get a chance, when you get past this traffic, PIT him." Trooper Killian did as ordered. He drew his cruiser to the left rear quarter of the truck and steered right. It caused the truck to veer to the left into the grass median. The cover of the truck bed could be seen flying away- and Killian, as well as the suspect careen across the oncoming lanes of traffic.
At high speeds, sirens become useless, lights get washed out during bright sunlight. It's really annoying when people don't move out of your way, but this is why the training is so long. Present your vehicle, allow time for vehicles to react, and do not bully other vehicles out of the way , because they often slam on their brakes and you in the response vehicle have nowhere to go. With a polac the higher trained driver is responsible for any other actions of other road users. May not sound right, but that's what we ended up with.
Yes in a lot of these videos people do not pull over and I get the point that you can't hear the sirens at that speed but so many are camped in the left lane to begin with when they shouldn't be.
Ain't it the truth?? Why do some drivers think it's ok to do 35 in a 50, in the left lane, while all the frustrated drivers on the road with them have to pass them on the right?
My dad taught me 47 years ago to observe my surroundings, be aware 360 degrees, and always be scanning for an out. Things happen pretty fast at 75 miles an hour. Much more so at runaway speeds. Great police work, APA!!
My dad taught me the same thing, also 47 years ago! He also told me to always consider other drivers as either crazy or drunk, thus anything is expected.
3:17 PSA: As you drive, scan your driver's side mirror to your windshield to your rear view mirror to your passenger side mirror....so you are aware of what the F is around you. If there's a police car with lights and sirens on behind you, move the F over!
It boggles the mind how there's so many idiots that willfully ignore situational awareness and peripheral vision. Driving on the highway is a SKILL; not a free for all or "whatever's in my rearview mirror is not my problem."
Cell phones and more shit being added to cars with button controls cause people to be completely unaware of whats even beside them as they drive much less whats coming up behind them 40-50mph faster than they are, way too many self entitled folks thats only concerned for what they want on the highways now for sure. Dont forget about the radios turned up to 180db(sarcasm) while driving and dont even know they are driving on a flat tire till the tire is completely gone
I’m amazed and horrified at how far people drive without looking in their damn mirrors! Do they really only think the important stuff is directly in front of them? 😱
If I were this cops C.O. I would advised him to never do a pit under those conditions again. Not only could he have caused multiple head on collisions, he could have sent himself into those concrete bridge supports killing him instantly.
They need to have a no chase policy all they had to do was get his license plate number and wait until he was either dumb enough to go home or until he stopped somewhere.
When I watch these video, I can only imagine the momentary worry the other motorists may have when a state trooper is approaching with their lights on. And then the sigh of relief... "whoo, it's not me they're after!"
Never ceases to amaze me just how long it takes some drivers to get out of the way. The ones that literally wait till the police vehicle is almost touching them before they even react. Are these idiots blind!!
Great teamwork approaching the truck after the pit! Assigned positions and specific areas to check. One officer in charge of a chaotic scene. Very well done, officers!
I learned to drive 40 years ago. The rules today must be different, because back then when you heard a siren you pulled over to let them pass. Clearly the rest of the drivers caught on video must have learned different rules for today.
Nerves of steel. Wish people would get out of the way more often, and it seems like the ones blocking the way are deciding to pull ahead to change lanes when dropping back would work better. That lumber truck driver should check mirrors more often. Love, David
David the lumber truck was in the middle of passing a vehicle and couldn't safely change lanes. I'm more concerned with the white car that had to brake check the officer before moving over.
Terrific video APA, When the trooper crossed the other side of the highway, that was a scary PIT. Gotta love ASP, please forward all vids to California so they can get learn how to pit and not pursue for hours!
Traffic was smart luckily and was paying attention from what it seemed and at those speeds they all lucky they didn't flip and yes they did go over but they didn't know a wall was going to stop being there and any high speed pit maneuver was going to end in any multiple.of.lanes doesn't matter if they crossed over they could a rent right and still took someone out
Cop was lucky.... They don't pit like that in California because as you saw that officer almost hit the truck and trailer head on in the opposite lane. You're taught to avoid that kind of shit at all costs so you don't kill civilians.
First time I have seen them pit a driver towards on coming traffic...99% of the time these guys are traffic conscious and safety first...that one could've ended badly for the trooper and someone else head on
I was thinking that too!! Seemed a little risky. Maybe he was thinking the lesser of two evils. Do the pit then into oncoming lane when less traffic was present rather than wait till a more congested area. I don’t know. Just guessin here. These ASP folk are basically NASCAR drivers it seems. 👍🏼
@Fred Freddy I think the Arkansas State Patrol could teach many other states a few things about Chases. They end them quickly. Now in certain cases, like this one it was a dangerous move But it did work. You don't see hour long chases in Arkansas and ultimately that leads to fewer people getting hurt in fewer destruction of property. What you do get is a higher chance of mortality when they end the chase. It's a different philosophy. The one thing we cannot measure is how many people did not run because of the reputation of the Arkansas State Police. If we could we, could weigh whether this was a better approach or not but without that stat it's hard to actually give them a score on their approach. I'm glad that we can at least see the good and the bad of this different approach, because making the officers simply follow and do nothing is very frustrating to all, especially when that car side swipes a ton of cars.
Arkansas State Troopers don't give a dam about anything. They get the job done! Although that was a close call with the incoming traffic. The most badass police officers in the USA
I love ASP, but this was a bad PIT. He should have PITed him from the right side, not the left. I understand that there was no space for the PIT from the right because of those two big trucks, but he should have waited I little longer for a better spot then. I hate pitting from the left side on these freeways, because when the PIT is not perfect, it will usually send suspects vehicle flying onto the upcoming traffic, putting innocent drivers in harms way. Anyway I´m glad that nobody was hurt and I´ve still enjoyed this another APS Dukes of Hazard moment 😆 Also thanks for this dash cam view, LHRN only had the different one from the secondary unmarked ASP car.
Although this might also make the case for more guardrails in the middle to prevent that? I appreciate it differs throughout each state, but it would definitely prevent that oncoming traffic risk. Having seen the one where the officer put the suspect’s car into a head on collision with a minivan it’s devastating if it goes wrong.
Do you know why the pursuit started? Do you know the record of the driver? Do you know anything about this case at all? You don't think the Trooper knew that huge earth berm was around the corner to protect oncoming? You don't think they ended it because of heavy traffic? I hope you are not an instructor. These are called need to know information. You are guessing, the worse thing a supposed LEO could do. I put in 27 years and do not assume anything. Assuming anything is reckless of you. Do you like people Monday morning quarterbacking your actions? Facts You were not there You do not have context You do not know why the pursuit in the first place You have no suspect criminal history You do not know what he did Heavy traffic required quick intervention His PIT worked as designed and trained YOU WERE NOT THERE!
That’s such a DANGEROUS HIGH TRAFFIC area to have a chase ensue at!! As an Arkansas native, I can say that this stretch of interstate challenges many a driver.
You are very brave. I almost have heart attacks just watching the video's. I'm screaming at my monitor "WATCH THAT CAR!" "OH LORD HERE COMES A CURVE!" Any trooper I tried to ride with would put me on the side of the road in under a minute. Haha
Then the bad guy could really get away if he had a fast car. Did this guy think a 6,000 lb+ PU would outrun the cops? Most pickup trucks are factory set around 100 MPH because of tire ratings. This can be reprogramed but the tire speed rating?
it ia absolutely amazing how ppl are oblivious to what is going on around them. due to being a truck driver in the military as well as a gunner i'm always scanning my surroundings making sure nothing is comimg up on me as well as making sure if something happens in front of i have an out. as for the BEASTMODE PIT.........DAMN!!!!!!!!! is there a level about beastmode cause i don't think beastmode covers that one lol!!! keep up the great work gentlemen and THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!!!!!!
Thank God for these officers. I think any takedown such as this should be done with overwhelming force for the safety of law enforcement and the general public.
I just wish I had more context. Was the officer alright? Did the bad guy live? What were his final charges? Great pit! Just wish I had a lil more info.
About as much danger as the guy in the truck doing over 100mph, driving like an idiot while armed with a rifle. Yes, the trooper picked a bad spot to do the PIT, but he's not the only one who put everyone else in danger.
It was a felony stop with a firearm in the vehicle. That means that the person has committed a very serious crime. A lot of felons don't just stop committing crimes. Many elevate to committing more serious crimes. Would you rather they not pursue this person, leaving a greater chance for him to commit more crimes against innocent people?
Wow was this officer even pit certified? That was a very high speed for a pit maneuver and with a much lighter vehicle than the suspect vehicle. As a veteran that was pit certified, this was reckless and could have killed someone.
All Arkansas State Troopers who pit vehicles are pit certified. Had they left that maniac driver on the road, you think he might have killed someone? Those troopers have to get the reckless driver off the road to avoid many innocent lives being lost. Your thought process just amazes me. It's always the police who are wrong, no matter what the criminal does?? I feel sorry for people who always feel the need to blame the ones who are trying to protect the public. It's rather sickening and twisted in so many ways.
@donnawilson2092 I dunno they said wait until traffic is clear.....might of waited until I was not right next to a semi truck......they did have to get that moron off the road......but traffic wasn't that heavy ......could of waited for a spot that was a bit more clear and pushed him to the right vs left into on coming traffic.....if the semi truck was not there she could of pushed him to the right away from on coming traffic
Man I got a rush just watching the video, imagine the rush that officer had pitting that crazy guy. Congrats Officers, you can see the training and professionalism.
I remember a chase in Portland. 3 Semis decided it needed to end. They went 3 across and another came in behind and the guy couldn't even get out of his vehicle. Thank you truckers
Love Arkansas law enforcement attitude towards idiots who run and put the public at risk. I think some of these trucks move over slower than they really can out of spite for po po.
I couldn't believe how many ppl took their dear old time getting over for the loud police sirens. The 2 vehicles pulling trailers but worse of all the semi truck that just went real slow getting over even tho no one was in their way.
That was scary. Obey the law and respect the police , and move the hell over for when LE has their lights on. This officer deserves to go home to his family.
Wow, the Arkansas State Police demonstrated incredible skill and precision in this intense situation! The coordination and communication between the officers were top-notch, ensuring everyone's safety while handling a dangerous situation. Hats off to the team for their professionalism!
Guy in rt lane: "Imma go 75" Guy in middle middle: "Imma go 76" Guy in left lane: "Imma go 77". Cars, pickups with trailers, and semis all camping in the left lane. It's even worse that the Chicago metro area. At least ISP is pretty strict on truckers for that (more strict anyway).
I have watched many of these chases..And I have to say this one of the pit here is the best, as the officer does it in high traffic..He only has seconds to get it done..It shows how much these officers are trained and that they listen and execute their training..Hats off to the trainers, which seem to be the best in the business..And especially hats off to this officer showing how he was trained..He drives with an angel on his shoulder..That could have turned out worse..Great respect here for law enforcement..You guys earn your money and then some..STAY SAFE.
I will say- they should have closed that off ramp down to prevent any possible crossfire situation with passing motorists if the need had come up. to open fire on him. Other than that, great job guys!
Clearly the trooper has video of every tractor-trailer in the Hammer Lane I'd be mailing them traffic citations just for that if it was a law 😊. . . AGAIN I AM TRUCKER & thank you ASP
Yes, it is law in Arkansas that the left lane is for passing only. And yes, ASP needs to mail citations to everyone that didn't want to move to the right lane.
No, the innocent people driving the truck with the trailer were almost hit by the cop. Not the other way around. The truck is driving the right way the whole time
Did you not hear that it was a felony stop and that the person had a weapon( a rifle ) in the vehicle? I really hope that you never have to experience being a victim of a crime by a criminal who eluded the police.
@@boxsterjones doesn’t warrant possibly killing innocent people in traffic though. Now if this guy was actually wanted for murder or something then that’s different story.
ASP are some crazy mutha's. They don't give a shit about anything but catching whoever they are pursuing. I know catching the bad guys is essential, but damn. I sure wouldn't want to be in the oncoming lanes when a pickup truck and a state trooper pursuit unit come bouncing across the roadway right in front of me. They, the cops, catching the bad guy wouldn't serve as any form of comfort if their efforts hurt or kill others. I've seen ASP PIT vehicles while traveling in excess of 100 mph. How can you possibly know the outcome of such a move? There has got to be a better, safer way. Really glad no one what hurt.
I worked the road in Clackamas County Oregon for the Sheriff's Office for 24 years in the 60s 70s and eighties. did my share of pursuits. They are all exciting when you are a young Deputy but was you mature they become scary. We didn't have the pit maneuver then we chased until we caught or they got away. I watch these now that often end in deaths to the culprit and or innocent folks. There is no end to human stupidity.
I am a citizen of the state of Arkansas and I would appreciate it if the law enforcement would enforce the law concerning driving in the left lane and start issuing tickets and fines to these damn people who think the left lane is for casual driving and sight seeing.
Okay I've always respected watch out doing very much so appreciate y'all being there thank you, remember to look ahead buy a safe place on the Pitt maneuver where you yourself are pedestrians don't become head-on in the Collision y'all be safe
I'm getting very old but I know one thing if I go to Arkansas I will be careful, They don't screw around. I used to have a lot of hot rods when I was young, A hopped up Corvette, But that video scared the shit out of me, They were very lucky that day
Everyone of those left lane drivers should get a summons in the mail and make a mandatory appearance in court in Arkansas to explain to a judge why they delayed a law-enforcement officer and then find them about $5000 magically their mirrors might start working! The state of Arkansas should post notices along the highway if you delay a law-enforcement officer, you will be summoned and fined!
You definitely don't want ASP on your ass. I love these videos! Come teach CHP how to do their job, yo! Too many chases in California end badly because they think it's ok to let people go.

In CA, it would have taken 12 hours to approach the truck. Drones, crisis intervention, robots, Bearcats. This is the way to do it! Fantastic job!
@TheBackStory22 - Don't forget the grief counselors and environmental impact reports.
Welcome to Arkansas!
@@DerFleisch great add!
Well in California you don’t want your hurt anyone feelings…….welcome to the real world!
The chase would have been for 5 hours and they would have let him stop for gas and lunch.
Sometimes the body shop I work at repairs ASP vehicles. It always an honor for us.💙
👍
I'm thinking they might want to change them sirens, it seems like people need something a lot more annoying to get them to move outta the damn way.
Even more annoying? Gosh! Current police sirens already produce an ear splitting sound! 😖
What's needed is a speaker override in the car that tells the driver to move over immediately
Or pay attention to their surroundings
At high speeds, sirens become useless, lights get washed out during bright sunlight. It's really annoying when people don't move out of your way, but this is why the training is so long.

Yes in a lot of these videos people do not pull over and I get the point that you can't hear the sirens at that speed but so many are camped in the left lane to begin with when they shouldn't be.
Anyone that starts running from the police and gets to 100 mph should automatically be considered armed and dangerous and dealt with accordingly.
One year mandatory prison time for each mph over the speed limit if you run from the police.
In my state it's an automatic felony!!!!
I noticed a long time ago that left lane drivers don’t seem to be aware of anything…
😂
Ain't it the truth?? Why do some drivers think it's ok to do 35 in a 50, in the left lane, while all the frustrated drivers on the road with them have to pass them on the right?
most of those care WERE in the process of passing other cars and those cars on the right werent gettin over either
Or they just don't care
Ya know those truckers communicate what's on the road so I was surprised how many of them ignore that a Statey was on pursuit.
Extremely dangerous pit. It worked out but he got spun directly into oncoming traffic. A few seconds sooner or later and that could have ended bad.
Yeah and you coulda been struck by lightning or been hit by a meteor.
Awesome police work, mission accomplished!
And the entire fault would have been on the driver that refused to stop
absolutely.
Pits are supposed to be done under 35mph for this very reason. Also avoids rollovers.
@@YouMakeItHappen you should watch the one that happened in Ft Smith at 108mph. Sent the cop car flying thru the top of a telephone pole.
My dad taught me 47 years ago to observe my surroundings, be aware 360 degrees, and always be scanning for an out. Things happen pretty fast at 75 miles an hour. Much more so at runaway speeds.
Great police work, APA!!
Right! Now I have to worry about my flighty granddaughter keeping her eyes on the road!
Thats what the LE on my job taught me. Always be scanning.
It’s just the smart way to drive
My dad taught me the same thing, also 47 years ago!
He also told me to always consider other drivers as either crazy or drunk, thus anything is expected.
Great advice, especially the part about 'looking for an out'!
BLOWS MY MIND AT THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO DO NOT PULL OVER OR CHECK THIER MIRRORS ENOUGH TO SEE POLICE !!!!!!!!
Oh they see him lol just taking their time.
Yes, most of them shouldn't have a drivers license.
@@Don_ECHOguy they would still drive you need to hit there pocket book
In my state, it’s now illegal to stay in the left lane on an interstate. Passing only. But of course people still do it. 🙄
BLOWS MY MIND TO SEE HOW MANY FREAKING LAW ENFORCEMENT YOU NEED FOR ONE LIL MAN RUNNING TF!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn Skippy baby! lol
good advice 😂
and if not you get off THAT ROAD FAST
Beast of a pit but man, lucky neither of them hit on coming traffic. Not exactly the brightest time to do a pit
If I were this cops C.O. I would advised him to never do a pit under those conditions again.
Not only could he have caused multiple head on collisions, he could have sent himself into those concrete bridge supports killing him instantly.
@@shamrock241r8 not a good condition for a criminal to go way more than 100 mph with traffic. Good job guys!
@@shamrock241r8 not to mention he absolutely totaled the charger. Had he waited he could’ve stayed on the road and did a simpler pit
Almost sent both of the
Into the bridge support as well. Would’ve killed them both

I wonder how many through their stash 🤣
Or the sigh of relief from the oncoming traffic that they didn't get hit by the officer that blasted over
I do that every time I see lights and I'm not even breaking any laws 🤣
brennanodea1878 : I know what you mean.
I have exhaled deeply many times after a patrol car has passed me.
Never ceases to amaze me just how long it takes some drivers to get out of the way. The ones that literally wait till the police vehicle is almost touching them before they even react. Are these idiots blind!!
It's Arkansas.
Exactly! People needs to look in their rear view mirrors more often.
my question is why don't they just drive down the shoulder?
Zombie mode
listening to music , watching videos, occasionally watching around them in traffic
Great teamwork approaching the truck after the pit! Assigned positions and specific areas to check. One officer in charge of a chaotic scene. Very well done, officers!
What are you babbling about. Those idiots did a high peed pit in heavy traffic
❤ ❤❤ the ASP. Amazing teamwork and y’all don’t stop until the suspect(s) have been apprehended. Respect!!

lets leave California on their own. They don't listen to anyone so they kinda deserve what they have

Agreed. Seemed unnecessary to pit under and overpass into oncoming traffic.
Agreed. Terrible decision likely brought on by adrenaline and tunnel vision.
I was thinking that too!! Seemed a little risky. Maybe he was thinking the lesser of two evils. Do the pit then into oncoming lane when less traffic was present rather than wait till a more congested area. I don’t know. Just guessin here. These ASP folk are basically NASCAR drivers it seems. 👍🏼
Several people could have been killed with the pit maneuver. That was insane and should not happen that way again.
Cops don't have safety obligations, they have rights and allowances.
One day folks will learn not to mess with the ASP. Them good ole boys don't play. You stop or they'll stop you! Good Job ASP
Some of the best officers in America
Agreed!

Anyway I´m glad that nobody was hurt and I´ve still enjoyed this another APS Dukes of Hazard moment 😆
Also thanks for this dash cam view, LHRN only had the different one from the secondary unmarked ASP car.
I agree! If your PIT sends an out-of-control vehicle into oncoming traffic lanes. You need to be assigned to a desk job.
Although this might also make the case for more guardrails in the middle to prevent that? I appreciate it differs throughout each state, but it would definitely prevent that oncoming traffic risk. Having seen the one where the officer put the suspect’s car into a head on collision with a minivan it’s devastating if it goes wrong.
@@sirjudge5055 well, luckily your pussy ass isn't in charge.
Stay in California......LOL
Do you know why the pursuit started? Do you know the record of the driver? Do you know anything about this case at all? You don't think the Trooper knew that huge earth berm was around the corner to protect oncoming? You don't think they ended it because of heavy traffic? I hope you are not an instructor.
These are called need to know information. You are guessing, the worse thing a supposed LEO could do. I put in 27 years and do not assume anything. Assuming anything is reckless of you. Do you like people Monday morning quarterbacking your actions?
Facts
You were not there
You do not have context
You do not know why the pursuit in the first place
You have no suspect criminal history
You do not know what he did
Heavy traffic required quick intervention
His PIT worked as designed and trained
YOU WERE NOT THERE!
I agree 👍💯. He is LUCKY nobody got killed. He should have waited a few seconds or minutes until nobody innocent was next to him. Idiot.
He almost went head on with oncoming traffic!!
That’s such a DANGEROUS HIGH TRAFFIC area to have a chase ensue at!! As an Arkansas native, I can say that this stretch of interstate challenges many a driver.
Not necessarily. There was the wide grassed area between both carriageways and as it turned out, the truck ended up still on it.
Wow! Never saw a truck so decked out for speed! I had no clue. Excellent communication between the pros! The hunters got you ! Well done Troopers!
"Ya don't never wanna mess with them Arkie Troopers! You gonna lose!
Every time!
Fantastic team work by these officers they have it down pat!!👍🏻💙
I want to get down to Arkansas and ride with these guys, preferably Byrd! Damn, best guys and gals in America
You are very brave. I almost have heart attacks just watching the video's. I'm screaming at my monitor "WATCH THAT CAR!" "OH LORD HERE COMES A CURVE!" Any trooper I tried to ride with would put me on the side of the road in under a minute. Haha
Outstanding work LEO's!!! Glad you're all okay! ❤💙
that was a hard PIT! the damage the unit shows. it's like it's saying, "I'm hurt" glad all LEO'S are ok
Great job by all involved, one officer taking charge of the approach to the vehicle, just as it should be👍🏻
As Chris Tucker once said......................"Dammmmmnnn, He got knocked the Fuck OUT ! ! ! " 🤣🤣🤣
Bad place to pit.
Super lucky innocent people did not die.
Nobody is innocent!!!!!
Real easy to be an armchair quarterback, eh?
We get it Desmo. You would have let him go free so he could murder the people he was threatening to murder.
Don't screw around in Arkansas. It's Duke's of Hazzard ASP style! 😂 Well trained on the 2nd stop approaching the truck.
Arkansas Police are badasses!
Yes they are….simply fabulous.
LAPD could learn a few things from these guys.
Yessir I love Arkansas
I watch a lot of these videos and even I was surprised that he pitted him right next to a semi 😂😂
Reckless more like it
That was a successful PIT but that was very reckless
Imagine if the left lane was for passing ONLY.
Nah I'm a travel in this lane, 5 under the posted speed, and I won't change lanes for idk 20 miles
@@philipstanley5611 😅😂😂
Then the bad guy could really get away if he had a fast car. Did this guy think a 6,000 lb+ PU would outrun the cops? Most pickup trucks are factory set around 100 MPH because of tire ratings. This can be reprogramed but the tire speed rating?
ASP patrol units should have “F*ck Around and Find out” in fancy script on the rear quarter panels instead of the usual “To Protect and Serve” LoL
Great comment.
Excellent idea!
😂
I love our police officers!!! Thank you for everything you do.
That was a savage pit. Maneuver! Excellent work stater!!! nerves of steel, didn’t even hesitate
✝️🇺🇸✝️
oh my god, wow. I would have been scared of oncoming traffic.
They had total disregard for oncoming traffic
Who cares about public safety they got to win that's all that matters
THESE TROOPERS ARE OUTSTANDING!! GREAT JOB!!!
RE: "Someone should have told this boy to watch UA-cam!!"
Really! You don't mess with Arkansas State Police!
it ia absolutely amazing how ppl are oblivious to what is going on around them. due to being a truck driver in the military as well as a gunner i'm always scanning my surroundings making sure nothing is comimg up on me as well as making sure if something happens in front of i have an out. as for the BEASTMODE PIT.........DAMN!!!!!!!!! is there a level about beastmode cause i don't think beastmode covers that one lol!!! keep up the great work gentlemen and THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!!!!!!
You can actually hear church bells when that Trooper walks .....a legend
Its amazing how many people are completely oblivious to what going on around them. Turned out to sight and sound.
Thank God for these officers. I think any takedown such as this should be done with overwhelming force for the safety of law enforcement and the general public.
" He's doing 110mph ".
" Perfect. Time to PIT him "
Arkansas State Police 👮 don't put up with s###t! Respect!! Watching and loving it in Texas!! 👏💪
I just wish I had more context. Was the officer alright? Did the bad guy live? What were his final charges? Great pit! Just wish I had a lil more info.
They put the public in amazing Danger during that Pursuit and maneuver
As usual
About as much danger as the guy in the truck doing over 100mph, driving like an idiot while armed with a rifle. Yes, the trooper picked a bad spot to do the PIT, but he's not the only one who put everyone else in danger.
It was a felony stop with a firearm in the vehicle. That means that the person has committed a very serious crime. A lot of felons don't just stop committing crimes. Many elevate to committing more serious crimes. Would you rather they not pursue this person, leaving a greater chance for him to commit more crimes against innocent people?
did you not listen to the video at all or watch it
@@Nave6W ig you didn’t listen to the video either or watch it
Great team communication. Team leader communicated effectively and everyone worked together.
HELL YES! Outstanding. I'm under two (2) minutes in.
Wow was this officer even pit certified? That was a very high speed for a pit maneuver and with a much lighter vehicle than the suspect vehicle. As a veteran that was pit certified, this was reckless and could have killed someone.
All Arkansas State Troopers who pit vehicles are pit certified. Had they left that maniac driver on the road, you think he might have killed someone? Those troopers have to get the reckless driver off the road to avoid many innocent lives being lost. Your thought process just amazes me. It's always the police who are wrong, no matter what the criminal does?? I feel sorry for people who always feel the need to blame the ones who are trying to protect the public. It's rather sickening and twisted in so many ways.
@donnawilson2092 I dunno they said wait until traffic is clear.....might of waited until I was not right next to a semi truck......they did have to get that moron off the road......but traffic wasn't that heavy ......could of waited for a spot that was a bit more clear and pushed him to the right vs left into on coming traffic.....if the semi truck was not there she could of pushed him to the right away from on coming traffic
Now THAT WAS A PIT! Balls of steel! Hope all are good except the POS in the truck! Let the Bork Borks get some Nom Noms!!!
Man I got a rush just watching the video, imagine the rush that officer had pitting that crazy guy. Congrats Officers, you can see the training and professionalism.
It kills me watching all these people so dam unaware of what's behind them. WAKE UP DOFFIS!!!
I remember a chase in Portland. 3 Semis decided it needed to end. They went 3 across and another came in behind and the guy couldn't even get out of his vehicle. Thank you truckers
Great communication by the approach team.
Love Arkansas law enforcement attitude towards idiots who run and put the public at risk.
I think some of these trucks move over slower than they really can out of spite for po po.
I got the same impression on the trucks moving over slower than normal.
I couldn't believe how many ppl took their dear old time getting over for the loud police sirens. The 2 vehicles pulling trailers but worse of all the semi truck that just went real slow getting over even tho no one was in their way.
That was scary. Obey the law and respect the police , and move the hell over for when LE has their lights on. This officer deserves to go home to his family.
I love watching ASP, mainly because y'all don't take any shit. 👍
Wow, the Arkansas State Police demonstrated incredible skill and precision in this intense situation! The coordination and communication between the officers were top-notch, ensuring everyone's safety while handling a dangerous situation. Hats off to the team for their professionalism!
Damn! That took some guts! TY for your service!
In Portugal it is mandatory to drive on the right. Think about the time it would save the police during a chase.
That was very skilled pit in small space on left side nice work. Also exciting to watch.
Guy in rt lane: "Imma go 75"
Guy in middle middle: "Imma go 76"
Guy in left lane: "Imma go 77".
Cars, pickups with trailers, and semis all camping in the left lane.
It's even worse that the Chicago metro area. At least ISP is pretty strict on truckers for that (more strict anyway).
I have watched many of these chases..And I have to say this one of the pit here is the best, as the officer does it in high traffic..He only has seconds to get it done..It shows how much these officers are trained and that they listen and execute their training..Hats off to the trainers, which seem to be the best in the business..And especially hats off to this officer showing how he was trained..He drives with an angel on his shoulder..That could have turned out worse..Great respect here for law enforcement..You guys earn your money and then some..STAY SAFE.
I love hearing the growl of the engine in ASP patrol cars! And seeing the PIT is what makes me addicted to these videos!❤👏👏👏❤
I will say- they should have closed that off ramp down to prevent any possible crossfire situation with passing motorists if the need had come up. to open fire on him. Other than that, great job guys!
Get away cars rear traffic
Didn’t they? They said both directions of the interstate were closed like within 30 secs of the PIT.
Clearly the trooper has video of every tractor-trailer in the Hammer Lane I'd be mailing them traffic citations just for that if it was a law 😊. . . AGAIN I AM TRUCKER & thank you ASP
Yes, it is law in Arkansas that the left lane is for passing only. And yes, ASP needs to mail citations to everyone that didn't want to move to the right lane.
Cop almost got hit by that truck with trailer
No, the innocent people driving the truck with the trailer were almost hit by the cop. Not the other way around. The truck is driving the right way the whole time
Nice job taking a chance and throwing that pick-up truck directly into oncoming traffic!
0:53 I fely my pulse spike "Oh, geez, the cops!" Half a second later "Wait, I'm not even driving, I'm sitting at home."
2nd!....and damn he took him out haha....PS put your phone down and buckle up ASP is about to PIT you!
Really hope this was a really dangerous subject for all the lives that were at risk...
Did you not hear that it was a felony stop and that the person had a weapon( a rifle ) in the vehicle? I really hope that you never have to experience being a victim of a crime by a criminal who eluded the police.
@@boxsterjones doesn’t warrant possibly killing innocent people in traffic though. Now if this guy was actually wanted for murder or something then that’s different story.
They said suspect was armed. That meant he had a weapon. Duh!!!
Everyone in Arkansas has a weapon. Lol. Cops being cops.. revenue...
ASP are some crazy mutha's. They don't give a shit about anything but catching whoever they are pursuing. I know catching the bad guys is essential, but damn. I sure wouldn't want to be in the oncoming lanes when a pickup truck and a state trooper pursuit unit come bouncing across the roadway right in front of me. They, the cops, catching the bad guy wouldn't serve as any form of comfort if their efforts hurt or kill others. I've seen ASP PIT vehicles while traveling in excess of 100 mph. How can you possibly know the outcome of such a move? There has got to be a better, safer way. Really glad no one what hurt.
It's 7:30 on a Saturday night and here i am watching police pursuit videos
Enjoy Haley
Did they get knocked out from the pit? Awesome job guys 👍😁
I worked the road in Clackamas County Oregon for the Sheriff's Office for 24 years in the 60s 70s and eighties. did my share of pursuits. They are all exciting when you are a young Deputy but was you mature they become scary. We didn't have the pit maneuver then we chased until we caught or they got away. I watch these now that often end in deaths to the culprit and or innocent folks. There is no end to human stupidity.
Wow, I didn't expect that! Hope the Trooper is ok.
I am a citizen of the state of Arkansas and I would appreciate it if the law enforcement would enforce the law concerning driving in the left lane and start issuing tickets and fines to these damn people who think the left lane is for casual driving and sight seeing.
Bo and Luke Duke would be proud of that PIT.
Okay I've always respected watch out doing very much so appreciate y'all being there thank you, remember to look ahead buy a safe place on the Pitt maneuver where you yourself are pedestrians don't become head-on in the Collision y'all be safe
Arkansas, Florida, and New Mexico have the best officers in America I think..
I'm Australian so excuse my ignorance but why are there so many trucks in the fast lane?.
These Arkansas troopers are awesome 👏👏
Great Job Arkansas Police ..Dr William Mount
Every person that doesn't move over prior to having a trooper up on them should be ticketed.
I agree. Might wake 'em up a little.
Love the timber truck just cruising in the left lane.
Well done, very professional!!
Should be a mandatory 10 years for trying to run from police.
I'm getting very old but I know one thing if I go to Arkansas I will be careful, They don't screw around.
I used to have a lot of hot rods when I was young, A hopped up Corvette, But that video scared the shit out of me, They were very lucky that day
Everyone of those left lane drivers should get a summons in the mail and make a mandatory appearance in court in Arkansas to explain to a judge why they delayed a law-enforcement officer and then find them about $5000 magically their mirrors might start working! The state of Arkansas should post notices along the highway if you delay a law-enforcement officer, you will be summoned and fined!
Must be State Don't Pull To the Fucking Right Day.
You definitely don't want ASP on your ass. I love these videos! Come teach CHP how to do their job, yo! Too many chases in California end badly because they think it's ok to let people go.
I love these chases on roads I take every day.
