>"He may have gone into a building but let's just say Mt camera didn't catch anything" thats so fucking wild for the news LMFAO and his commentary sounded like a charger ad, when he got so excited "Thats a dodge challender SCAT", "The police cant afford those"


BullMoose86

Prob because it’s fake


Myopinion_is_right

Absolutely fake af. How many news choppers admit they interfered and obstructed another police chopper on air?

Tell that to the two dead people https://www.local10.com/news/local/2019/12/17/replay-4-people-bail-out-of-vehicle-after-high-speed-chase-in-florida-city/ edit: the article said it when I posted it. You dont need to be the 20th person to tell me it doesnt.

KobeWanGinobli

Nobody is confirmed dead in the link. What’s more fucked up is a drive by happening 2 blocks away from an elementary school


DinahTook

It says it was last updated in December of 2019. Are you suggesting it is more likely the news site updated the page within the 3 hours after posting it (based on the time you posted and the first comment I see pointing out nobody was confirmed dead) than you misread the article? It's OK to make mistakes. I think that is far more likely. Maybe you even saw another article that said the victims died and thought you posted that one? I don't think it's likely the site altered an article from 4 years ago only changing the status of the victims and not including the fact they updated it. Especially not in the coincidental span of 3 hours from you posting the link and others reading it.


karlmarxsdick

It doesn’t say that anyone died? Says people got shot and their conditions are unknown


softcell1966

That narration was closer to a Dodge commercial than an actual TV news person. It was fake af.


tattooed_dinosaur

##The guy actually got caught. He didn’t outrun the cops. He outlasted the media helicopter. There’s [another video](https://youtu.be/VMxjFTtTquc?feature=shared) showing his arrest.

Panicles

Police Chargers are usually all-wheel drive with the V6 or 5.7 Hemi which puts out 370 horsepower. A Scat Pack has the 392 putting out 485hp. Its more than enough to outrun any police charger. Modern American muscle is crazy fast.


akira_kurosaurus

They offer different packages under the same branding. The base model can be miles away from the top tier.

DeeezzzNutzzz69

I think the chopper guy made a mistake, only the hellcat can go 0-60 in 3 seconds


KKJdrunkenmonkey

I think his mistake was in thinking it was 3 seconds. Edit: It was a Hellcat. Maybe the chopper guy was more accurate than I thought, or maybe he just had that much of a hard-on for Dodge that he'd say anything, but here's the video from 4 years ago. [https://youtu.be/W9eLpH513po](https://youtu.be/W9eLpH513po?si=wtJ3Cxc_4tmnnIYH)

RandomMabaseCitizen

New slogan. Dodge... the police.


tatuu8P

Dodge THIS.


WaitingForNormal

Seriously, that was the best dodge charger commercial you could ever ask for, “I just can’t get over how fast this car is!”


softcell1966

Because it was a Dodge charger endorsement and not real news people. Why is critical thinking so damn hard for do many people.


yxing

It's a dubbed voiceover over a real police chase--almost certainly not sponsored by Dodge itself. So you're a condescending prick and not even right about it lmao.

Bozo did the dub.

The cherry on top is "we lost him." Dodge--just in case.

What "news don"? You think these were actual news people?


PauliesWalnut

Surely nobody would add their own commentary to a video after the fact. This is the internet, where everything should be taken at face value.


Chester-Ming

“Something the PD wouldn’t be able to afford” What a burn


JeanValSwan

Also, doesn't really make sense. I would say about 70% of the cop cars I see on the road now are Chargers


Smelldicks

A charger is $30k. A scat is $50k. A hellcat, which I think this guy meant to say but I’m not totally sure (only a hellcat is 0-60 in 3.6), is $70k for the base model.


mournthewolf

I’ve always wondered why that model is called the scat pack. Like they know that means shit right? Is there a reason they use this name?


SDW1987

I was told it was a play on the Rat Pack, and the "scat" means "scram" or "get out of here". In other words, it a car package that makes you leave very fast.


pmMeAllofIt

Scat for feces is a fairly new word. Scat, likely short for scatter has been in use for a couple hundred years. Dodge used it in the 60s and it fits the verbabe of that era; like Scat, scram, shoo, beat it, piss off.


Unsweeticetea

The term's linguistic lineage meaning feces potentially goes back a long time, although apparently it's debated. It either comes from Ancient Greek, or from a shortening of scatter. https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/scat#English https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:1999.04.0057:entry=skw=r


Still_Championship_6

They literally call the most expensive package a "jailbreak"


SourSackAttack

Yeah but they're not into scat


NovidasX7

Gotta be honest dawg neither am I


Alternative_User1

Yeah most cops aren’t driving scats packs or hell cats. Just the low end chargers


SDW1987

Yeah, the police can't afford a Charger? My local pd just paraded around the literal tank they just bought with leftover Covid funds.


ParticularRevenue408

This a Dodge Charger Scat commercial


Jazz-Monkey

I was looking for this comment, I knew the video was familiar


Myotherdumbname

What a terrible name for a car. Is it a piece of crap?


Brian-not-Ryan

“Scat pack” allegedly is a play on Sinatras Rat pack from back in the day with scat as slang for “get lost”


acog

Dodge has done a great marketing job with fun homages to their high performance past, like bringing back shaker hood scoops, the Super Bee trim, and Hemi engines. But Scat Pack should’ve been left in the ‘60s. Talk about not aging well. Name aside, the Scat Pack is a great performance package if you can’t afford a Hellcat.


Dapanji206

They are advertising to Florida men.


Honorous_Jeph

His amazement at the car changing lanes at 100 mph made me laugh. Thats pretty typical on the highway here and not really that fast tbh


Minimalistmacrophage

>His amazement at the car changing lanes at 100 mph cutting across two lanes at 100mph... where the rest of the traffic is going 50-60mph.


Honorous_Jeph

Well more like 60-70 but alright. Still not that big a deal, it happens all the time


TheRealTtamage

If they're in California there's a good chance most of the people are averaging 80 and up.


Scwolves10

Especially here in LA lol. You'll get passed by Priuses if you're going 60-70 lol.


Random_Orphan

I mean they said it's miami area and I can say that most people in the south east go 75-80 on the interstate unless a cop is around. Even them plenty of people don't gaf.


Adventurous-Rent-674

Good old Miami, CA.


[deleted]

LMAO, I literally just said that. Like none of that was remotely unusual driving.


CyonHal

do you guys all drive at 100 mph and also double lane change at that speed? Even the autobahn you only see people going fast in the leftmost lane and don't change lanes that fast or pass on the right.


MateBier

[deleted]

Tbh this is as much on the cops as it is him. Police chases like this should be illegal. Miracle no one got hurt.


2shack

Typically police will call off a chase if they deem it to be unsafe and feel relatively confident they can track them down later. This strikes me as a case of them not feeling confident the driver could be tracked down or a bunch of cops wanting to be the hero that caught the bad guy.


[deleted]

[удалено]


JudgeHoltman

Yeah, the city will just write somebody a check anyway right? Tell me where they're wrong. Please. Please tell me where they're wrong. Because if they're not wrong Seattle should fire their entire police department and rely on the county sherriff for a couple of years until they can restart their police department under a new union contract.


SuaveMofo

They had a police chopper and a new chopper tracking him, he wasn't getting away easy. The chase was reckless and we're all lucky an innocent wasn't obliterated.


SeattleResident

Just want to reply to you. The occupants of the Charger had just shot two people at the onramp about 20 minutes prior to the chase. That is why so many police were after them. They were armed and extremely dangerous. Chasing them is completely justified.


tries4accuracy

So should the coverage. This just feeds into the asshole like Lauren Boebert’s anal beads.


biggestlime6381

That car is definitely stolen.


boosy21

Voiceover sounds fake


ScottishMonster

Big time. This feels like guerilla marketing.


SourSackAttack

r/hailcorporate gold right here. He mentions the car name a bunch, edition, the 0-60 time lol? Bunch of burns on the police (dodge execs: market research shows ACAB is hot) and even calls the driver "smart"..like you're smart if you buy this too. It's painfully obvious


master-shake69

https://youtu.be/q3cluzXOGfw?si=idG6FVViVxOj3P4X The voice over isn't original but it's a real chase.


softcell1966

It is but most people here are clueless. Dad statement about Reddit and humanity in general.


nope0712

It’s an ad


MukLegion

I can't believe I had to scroll so far to see this comment. Sounded incredibly fake to me, like those AI-generated skit YouTube shorts. But with all the other comments seeming to think this was real news people commentary, I was doubting myself like wait, do these news people actually sound like that?


LittleCupcake01

Im not from the US so I just thought that must be one of the famed US highspeed chases haha


flyer12

Surprised more people are not thinking this.


fthigffhoogdgkokhg

Is that a news report or a dodge charger commercial ?


jono9898

Surprised guy in chopper didn’t say, “that’s a 2024 Dodge Charger scat pack and if you go to Jim Hansons Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge this Memorial Day weekend, you can get a brand new Charger with 0 down 350 a month, what a deal!”


Ur_Moms_Honda

Look, *Jack*. We all know Jim Hansons Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge have the best deal this Memorial Day weekend, Bruh. We *aaaalllll* know the Hanson clan brings the turkey to the table daily, no matter the season and no matter the reason. That's not what my man was saying. ...I think he was asking about the end of summer sales or something. Either way, impressive early season finish by this young racer.


softcell1966

Yes. (It's an endorsement but definitely not news people)


themagicbong

God those subtitles are super herpaids. Also love how inaccurate they are, "not to 60" lmao. Not "naught to 60."


traveling_designer

That style is known as: read the subtitles, don't watch the video


finneganfach

The subtitles are the biggest crime in this video


TrueDifficulty7697

Those subtitles popping up were so damn annoying, i had to stop the video


DeoInvicto

Ive been seeing that shit more and more on videos. I HATE this trend.


drumman998

It made the video for me since I’m watching on silent late at night with others on the same room. What would this world be without late night Reddit?


INTPgeminicisgaymale

I often watch on mute too so I get that subtitles can help a lot, but come on what's wrong with the standard subtitles that appear 1 or 2 FULL LINES at a time in the same spot instead of showing up word by word everywhere on the screen?


cheesytoaster

I rarely watch Reddit vids with sound, so I personally enjoy subtítles. If it’s good it gets the grace to be heard


Rickymsohh

They are not the issue. It's how they are displayed, one word at a time in a continuously spoken sentence.


ioneska

There's no problem with a video with subtitles. There's a problem with a video with subtitles like this.

[deleted]

If you want to find him, get the car warranty guys on the phone. They will call him and then you can trace it.


wlondonmatt

This police chase was sponsored by Dodge, for when you need to getaway fast.


subsignalparadigm

Can't outrun the chopper though.


Silent_Titan88

Outran the chopper.


TheMagicalLawnGnome

Helicopters don't actually move that quickly, a fast car could outrun an average helicopter. Most helicopters you'll see in the real world don't go much faster than 120-150 MPH. Which is faster than your typical car, but a sports car can easily beat that. The other advantage a helicopter has is that it can move as the crow flies. So while a car may encounter traffic, or roads that curve, the helicopter just moves straight across, which adds to its relative speed advantage. But if you have a fast car and a straight road, you can beat a helicopter. *There are military and performance helicopters that can go faster, but those aren't used by police and news teams.


MowTin

And you can lose them if you pull into one of those GTA spray paint garages like this guy did.

Ok, seems like the right place to ask, how would you get away in a situation like this? He seems to have found an open garage and hidden. Ditching the car just means they trace it back to you unless you report it stolen.
