Captured and tasered after a wild car chase through Miami suburban streets!
That’s the headline after a wild police chase through the streets of Hialeah, Florida — a Miami suburb –endangered innocent citizens and responding police officers.
Why was the suspect — who remains innocent until proven guilty in a court of law — captured after expending so much effort to escape from law enforcement? Saggy pants prevented him from sprinting quickly across a busy Miami street after bailing out from his moving car.
Next time you’re running from the police after bailing from a moving car, make sure that you’ve fastened your belt. Otherwise, you’re going to feel the 50,000 volts of the taser gun. Better yet, don’t run from the police. They have radios and helicopters and they’re going to catch you sooner or later.

Note that the raw video tells the story fairly quickly, but isn’t the packaged new story aired on the Miami television more exciting with the addition of the high energy sound track? It almost makes the raw video of the police chase and subsequent tasering a little boring.

One of the youngest politicians in California — Fairfield Councilman Matt Garcia — might have been gunned down recently for his anti-gang efforts, say friends in a television news report. Matt Garcia later died after being removed from life support systems.
Fairfield police and other agencies are searching for the gunman who shot Matt Garcia and California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has offered a $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspect.
While police search for a suspect, friends of Matt Garcia had nothing but praise for the 22-year-old who sought to make a difference in his community. Said friend Ryan Kelly in a San Francisco Chronicle report: “Most kids in Fairfield couldn’t give a damn about this city, but Matt loved Fairfield.”
“I don’t know what it was, but he thought this was our place, and he was going to make it better no matter what,” said Ryan Kelly.

If the allegations are true about those who attacked Fairfield Councilman Matt Garcia, it reminds people that gangs and criminals are terrorists among us who are willing to destroy the fabric of our nation for their own interests.
However, some questions have been raised about the suspect’s description, reports CBS 5 KPIX.
Police continued searching for the gunman, who fired multiple shots at Garcia while he was talking in a female friend’s driveway in the 5000 block of Silverado Drive on Monday night.
Sources close to the investigation told CBS 5 on Friday that Garcia’s friend, Jennifer Tarbell, had offered police three different accounts of what happened that night and provided detectives a “questionable suspect description.”
