I just went to Johnson City to pick up the jointer. On my way over a Kia Soul passed me that must have been doing 100mph or more. Right behind him came a string of 4 or 5 Sheriff and Bristol city cops, all with lights and sirens. I wonder how long that guy thinks he is going to be able to outrun 5 Dodge Chargers with the police package while he is screaming along in his 4 cylinder Korean tin can. Seems to be a lot of people running from the police lately. Yesterday a guy ran for several miles through 2 or 3 counties, drove out in a field and bailed out. He ran into the woods and when troopers caught up to him he flashed a gun and was shot and killed. He was wanted on a probation violation. The other day a young kid ran from the police in a stolen SUV and ended up going off the road and totaling that poor person's car. It seems like either dope or stolen vehicles prompt many of the chases. They get stopped and then drive off when the cop approaches there vehicle. Yesterday in Memphis some 19 yr old black kid went on a shooting spree that left several people dead and wounded. Finally a SWAT team managed to take him into custody after random shootings were reported at several locations around Memphis. The police told people to shelter in place and lock their doors. www.wjhl.com/news/regional/tennessee/man-wanted-for-multiple-shootings-across-memphis-mpd/

UPDATE: They stopped the car with spike strips. Car was stolen and the 18 yr old driver had warrants. I wonder who has to pay to replace the tires. At least the kid didn't wreck the car.
