[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So a random "jump in" in CP. Drive your car across the city. Most likely will get away with it with the no pursuit laws. You just forget to calculate that the no pursuit laws do not apply to the Park Police or the Secret Service or the Park Police helicopter which apparently followed the car across the city.

But the randomness of shooting into a construction site with three shooters is what is scary. Jump in or not. Random acts of violence are terrifying and only encourage the "we should all be armed" crowd.[/quote]

it sounds like it was a targeting shooting. props to the park police and secret service in chasing the shooters to the ground. that kind of *immediate* response is the kind of thing that will repress lawlessness, much more than long prison sentences. [/quote]

Yes, biggest surprise out of the entire story is that they were all arrested without a protracted month long fruitless search and lots of hand wringing. I was stunned when I saw the reports that all of the perps were subsequently arrested.

Amazing job by the Park Police helicopter and the Secret Service. The secret Service were over that area almost instantly. It was pretty crazy. And good job for the MPD figuring out they can get around the dumb no pursuit rules simply by following their federal agencies conducting their own federal pursuits. I am sure that the defunders will blame the Park Police for the crash, but four arrested less than an hour after the incident! That does not happen in DC.[/quote]
