    Dont be surprised if the bucktooth bandit comes out with some false sensationalized story. Probably will say it was 10 cars and 50 police cars chasing bank robbers lol.

    In Sea Cows B?? Impossible. The roads are so deplorable in SCB that any speed over 1 mph is unsafe due the rapid deterioration of your vehicle from all the vibrations destroying the metal, glass and plastic parts of your vehicle. D3 had better roads 60 years ago before they were paved!

    It’s about time the police come out of hiding and collecting a free salary. It’s time for them to show the public who is in charge in this place! Especially those out of controll bandits!

      I will address you will respect, please let your son know that he have to respect the laws of the Virgin Islands. He was reckless to other road users and could have even loss his life over some marijuana. I am not saying he is a good kid but the laws must be respected. That’s how criminals started out. Please guide your son that he can be an individual in today’s society.

        I honestly believe that Parent made those comments from a sarcastic standpoint and not meant to be interpreted as the actual parent. I think he/she was just highlighting the position of some parents today. @Parent, please correct me if I am wrong.

    Im shaking my head at both parties in this chase. Unnecessary speeding as they both consider it their job. One to catch and the other to get away over a flipping science approved green medical plant. Reefer madness. From their side the police did not know why he was running but he knew why he was running and if it was legal he would not choose to run from the police.

    Both of them could have mowed people down or gone off road and killed themself for a plant that killed no one ever. A plant that was an essential medicine during covid in the USA. Chase after those gun wielding robbers and killers. This high speed chase situation should not have started at all in the first place.

      you need to do a little more research. Back in the day science had approved smoking tobacco cigarettes and only doctors and lawyers smoked them in the commercials which you can still see them on youtube. The weed that was much safer to smoke was way back before all the enhancements when thc levels were between 3%-6%. Today's weed is responsible for most of the psychosis and other mental related issues. Weed today is being pushed because it slows down a particular demographic of people without the fatal consequences they got when they introduced crack/cocaine.

        If you’re going to tell someone to do their research, you should provide support for your own assertion that “weed today is responsible for most of the psychosis and other mental health related issue”. What is the source for that claim? Are you referencing psychosis in the Territory, or world wide? Any particular age group? As to the claim that weed is being pushed because it slows down a particular demographic, who is doing the pushing and what demographic are you referring to.
        Regarding the chase, as HEH points out, it comes with some not insignificant risk and liability to police officers and the general public, which is why many police departments in the US have stopped chases.
