None of which would have happened had the driver just obeyed the Police.............

Disobeying and officers command to stop can get you shot. They don’t know if you’re fleeing because your a scared teen or a terrorist.

People are inconsiderate assholes and when the authorities get involved they react like they’re fighting oppression against the man.

Agreed. Street racing reality shows, YouTube videos of people stunting on public roads all seem to draw a crowd of people wanting to be the next Instagram sensation or viral video, resulting in situations like this. And now, Jalopnik just glorified this and made them into heroes being held back by the man.

Hopefully those neighborhoods don’t get gentrified. Nothing bothers me more than whites and black living together, reduction in crime, increased property value, increased business investment, safety and security for women and children, and jobs.

I don’t understand why people are happy to spend $150 a month on television but i find it unfathomable to spend $45 on a device that you use more than any other, and that replaces your camera, gps, and music player.

To prove to everyone else and himself (mostly himself) how smart and great he is for not liking apple!

Our cars are actually flood rated. They contain so much plastic, they actually float.

Behold, the typical hypocrisy of Jalopnik.

I’m so glad to see the comments section calmly and collectively telling you to go pound sand for bringing into question the motives and aptitude of volunteer civilians risking their lives to DO THE RIGHT THING. This article is infuriating in its tone-deafness. It takes balls to say “for better or worse” when there is…

Yeah let’s shit all over volunteers, who are using their own resources and risking their own lives to go try and help people. Not to mention the fact that they’re answering a plea from law enforcement (the professionals, in other words) that asked anyone with a boat to come and help with search and rescue efforts.

It’s called backing up my claim. It’s a $25 donation ffs. I’m not gloating about rescuing 2000 people by myself.

Fuck Gawker, fuck Eric Shilling, fuck CNN. I’m here, I’ve seen these things happen. I’m on these boats. You’re actually trying to detract from the people pulling out flood victims? You deserve your own special place in hell.

Please, let’s crap on volunteers risking themselves in order to save people from their flooded homes and cars. Maybe they were shot at, maybe they weren’t. That doesn’t and shouldn’t diminish their efforts in at a very dire time where it’s literally all hands on deck to help.

Yeah, these politically charged articles are really REALLY R E A L L Y starting to get annoying and I’m not even a Republican or Democrat.

Anyone else sick of the purely political articles having nothing to do with cars on Jalopnik? Please keep your focus, that is why we come to this site. Any it is clear from the misleading headline what the intention of the article is.
