In Miami there is a police chase with a postal truck. I had CNN on in the background while doing homework and you can clearly see the gun in the truck

hehehe.. yea.. you can see someone behind the driver which is weird.. they think it's a carjacking.

It has been driving around in neighborhoods and people are walking up to the truck

It's be cool if the postal car did a Heat thing. Though nobody died in this one.

I'm sorry, but, once again, for a guy with very loew standards and morals, I think it's so sad and pathetic these days that people will encourage the suspects who are puting THEIR lives in danger by driving this way, going so much as to cheer them on in the streets.

I don't know if this is happenin here, but I've seen it before.

yep I totally agree DeltaSigStan. It's crazy.

Whoah!

I had no idea that this has made national news!

They're at a standoff right now.

ok i just got back in from running errands...

this guy is really playing with fire. Isn't it majorly against the law to threaten a postal worker w/ a gun?

I go to the post office quite a bit, and waiting in line I always see those signs on the wall about it being illegal.

Ahh, that's so crazy! I am at work but will have to read up on it on the web since I have no TV here.

It's federal offence. So it's off the fed pen for them. BTW, check this scenerio out. 4 vehicles with sirens are at a four way stop. One is an ambulance, a police car, a fire truck and a postal car. Legally, who has the right of war?

Answer: The U.S. Postal truck because it is a federal vehicle.

Doesn't make sense though, does it?
