More warm bodies to clothe and feed.

And people from Florida just magically, somehow appear in and near Hinds County and ease on up to Madison to commit crimes. Something stinks here. Look for accomplices in J-Town.

A lawsuit is coming to The City of Madison for committing such a dangerous pursuit at speeds near 100 mph in which a man was seriously injured just to catch auto burglars.

The City of Madison will be facing a lawsuit for those officers putting so many lives at risk for committing a pursuit at speeds near 100 mph and causing serious injury to an innocent person just to catch auto burglars. High speed pursuit should be reserved strictly for violent felonies.

Don't think so at all, Johnnieb6. If someone had been seriously hurt or killed, then maybe. I haven't heard that was the case so without anybody having suffered some real damages, that would be a dead issue. Glad to have those thugs off the street. Good job, MPD!

Let me guess ... Y'all will be represented by Precious Martin. But thanks for the opinion from the Kush.

Precious Martin can wobble his fat rear end back across Hinds County. Good job Madison Police.

Just curious did the police put someone at risk or was it the criminals-----The problem is tolerance from silly ass liberals that make excuses for criminals----Catch them and lock them up then problem solved..

It appears to me that the criminals should be charged with assault with a deadly weapon (car) when they did not yield to the officers when they started to flee.

4:05

just cut them loose, they could visit you-- what's your address?

johnnieb6 -

What is the problem? Were those thugs some of your buddies/business associates??? Maybe that is the way y'all do things in "cracktown"; but, that's not the way we roll here in Madison County. Send some more of them up here and they will get the same treatment!!

GOOD JOB Madison PD!!!!

These are felons. And when they decided to flee, they became fleeing felons. Any police officer who failed in his duty to pursue would and should be terminated.

I think what we are seeing here (with 4:05 and with non responsive JPD) is the overwhelming attitude that unless bodies are laid out in the street, the Po Po are relatively impotent and have no duty to get involved. Well, other than showing up later to fill out a report.

I heard they hit a vehicle at the end of the chase. I haven't heard anything regarding injuries. Wasn't there a lady killed a while back on Lakeland after a police chase that originated in Ridgeland, as the result of stolen groceries? I think that is the point johnnie may be making here.

I don't like the notion of someone being hurt or killed in a high speed chase, but where do you draw the line? Why chase violent offenders and not chase burglars caught in the act? Are we sending a lesson to burglars that as long as we can't grab them at the scene that it's okay to drive away? How hard is it to catch people after they've had a chance to abandon a stolen car? This is a tough issue, but I don't think letting criminals escape at their leisure is the answer.

Thanks to MPD. Appreciate you handling this and getting the bad guys.

None of this would have happened if these three idiots didn't try to run. The criminals made the conscious decision to make a run for it. Thanks to Madison PD they ran them down and got them, while it looks like others couldn't be bothered. People commit property crimes with reckless abandon because we now know that they won't be run down for doing so. These THREE perps were bold in what they did. I'm glad an even bolder entity stepped up and said no, not here. Instead of looking at what MPD may have done wrong, we should be congratulating them.

5:20, we are saying thanks to them. A few will always come out and say things like 6:40. But someone else very correctly pointed out--the criminals are the ones who caused the problem.

@johnnieb6 - Either you stand to profit from lawsuits of that sort or you're a Jacksonian trying to hide your embarrassment. Neither is a desirable position.

Am just curious to know if the criminals fled such as MPD stated why weren't they charged with felony eluding? MPD was so busy trying to get a case & they forgot about the purpose of police officer (PROTECT THE PUBLIC)!!! I hope those police officers are fired because a innocent bystander was hurt & the didn't follow rules & stepped out of their bountries! Then sense they didn't follow the rules a GOOD LAWYER can get these two very bad criminals (as MPD say) off because MPD didn't follow the rules & blew the whole case!! So next time MPD you will think before you pass GO!!!!!
