I don’t even have words. The total insanity of numerous police dangerously chasing for EIGHTY-NINE MILES is simply unimaginable. And how the officers in this video attempted to (INCORRECTLY) deploy stop sticks show how little or none) training they have. The fact no officer or citizen was killed is a miracle.
89-mile Milwaukee police chase exposes deficiencies with stop sticks: ‘We need better training with this’
MILWAUKEE — There are no signs of Milwaukee Police pursuits slowing down. For the last three years, the department has averaged about three chases a day.
The primary tool MPD officers can use to physically force a driver to stop is throwing out stop sticks to deflate their tires. The longest Milwaukee police chase TMJ4 could find in the past 15 years exposes problems with the effectiveness of that critical tactic.
It’s a video Milwaukee police didn’t want to give us. Last August, the department wrongfully denied our open records request, claiming the chase from May 17, 2022, was still under investigation more than a year after it happened. We found out from internal affairs that wasn’t true and just recently received the video.
