Congratulations officers. That was the most incompetent arrest in history

To the officer who had him blocked in the parking spot early on. You could have prevented all this misery by just pressing on the gas and not giving him space to back out. That's why you have push bars on your cruiser!

The title of this should be “most embarrassing police chase in history”

I come back and watch this every once in awhile. Its like a full length movie.

The owner of that last truck should be commended for how well he tied down that ladder

The guy narrating the chase is doing a perfect job!

Im so confused , for almost 2 hours, the police couldn’t arrest nor stop the actual suspect who stole multiple vehicles, rammed into several innocent people’s cars and endangered an entire city, and they dealt with him as if he is just doing a minor misdemeanor, but the poor guy who had his car rammed into by the suspect gets arrested violently and had his face smashed and pushed into the asphalt as if he is committing a serious felony.

The cops at the end congratulating eachother like that wasn’t the most pathetic police work ever.

Homeowner that got his truck stolen put up more of a fight than police did when he was taking the van

Did he manage to steal the ambulance on its way to hospital as well? I wouldnt even wonder...

The poor guy with the pick up truck trying to explain why he is late for a landscaping job the next day😅😅😅

This is probably the craziest police chase I've ever seen live.

Honestly, embarrassing for the police department….had so many opportunities to take care of this situation early on and apprehend the man …and just stood there as he ran around town putting innocent lives at risk

The fact we watched it go from broad daylight to night is beyond me

This is now my third time of watching this in its entirety. Every time this pops up I end up watching it. It's spellbinding. This is way better than any Hollywood action movie I've ever seen, it keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time. This guy has nine lives. I still cannot believe with everything that happened at the very end, that the guy was still able to get out of the vehicle. UNBELIEVEABLE!!!!! This is one of those things that once you see it you never forget it.

Those have to be some of the dumbest cops I've ever seen LOL With guns and knives on their belt there's no way that van should have ever left that original parking lot without at least two flat tires

this is the saddest police work i have seen

It never fails to be entertaining when the press covers a chase. This dude is like a fight commentator.

That news Anchor just knew he was going to get a Emmy for breaking news and for play by play… 😂

Police were so incompetent that the first person they detained was a victim of this insanity instead of the suspect that hit that person’s car 🤦🏽‍♀️

Good news the van owner raised over $25,000 on GoFundMe & the other family with the truck has raised over $90,000. Glad they’ll be able to recover from this 🙌🏼

The helicopter camera guys deserve more credit. Not once during the hour and 40 minutes did they lose track of the suspect

Over 12 police vechiles, 50 officers and a couple of helicopters chasing one drug dealer.🙄🙄 Your Tax Dollars at Work 🙄

What a shame, a police with no leadership and no initiative to end the case and remove the criminal from inside the 😂😂😂😂 vehicle.

This dude literally played GTA in real life. Only thing that didn't happen was him pulling in a garage and repainting the car

The camera operator deserves an Emmy. Amazing job.

1 hour 41 minutes, that’s a movie, needs popcorn and a soft drink.

I’m here for the commentary!! This guy is GREAT!😂🤣

I like how the cops at the end were taking cover behind the homeless man’s shopping cart

Never before have I seen a more inept police force!

After an hour long posted video, we don't even get a synopsis of the charges and why the reason for the run?? What sucks about these videos is they never say what was the reason for the desperate escape and what they were charged for ultimately in the end other than the stuff we could actually see.

The newscaster and camera guy made this 100x more entertaining. Get this team on all cop chases

The worst thing ever is the fact that the first cop car, at the back of the van, didn't even tried to block him!!! As an retired officer I'm ashamed!!!

An absolute embarrassment to law enforcement. These pursuit cops afraid to drive fast. Geez

best driver so far ive seen on this channel

The guy in the helicopter sounds like this is the best day of his life

This isn't a pursuit, this guy is enjoying himself because nobody is stopping him.

No damn wonder L.A. has so much crime, all the cops were chasing this guy, cornering him, letting him get away, wrecking more vehicles, and endangering innocent people all the time. I'm all in support of law enforcement but this was a real travesty.

Still standing in The cowboys hoodie sums up every season for every cowboys fan 💀

I’m surprised the cops didn’t give him one of their cars to continue the chase. This was ridiculous.

I cannot believe that the police lost sooooooo many chances stopping this criminal. This is both so sad and frustrating.

He didn't''t "Loose a rim..." He LOST A TIRE! For crying out loud! 🤣🤣🤣

Btw, the commentary guy on this video is better than any ring announcer on heavy weight boxing matches!

Why were they willing to use more force on a random guy witnessing the crime than the actual criminal...

That reporter was emotionally invested in this chase! “Sea of orcas” nearly had me in tears, somebody give that man a raise

Amazing camera work. And wow! What a chase. And the dude was on his feet while taken into custody. Wow! Just wow!

The motto of the American police: "The Show Must Go On"

Whats unbelievable is that they allowed him to make it that far in the first place.

What made this video so good to watch was the guy describing everything. You would think we were watching a boxing match or a football game. First time ever I didn't skip through to the end. The broadcaster guy is a legend and does his job better than good.

This was the longest pursuit chase Ive ever seen.The helicopter man did great keeping up with the man that they was after.

I don’t believe this. They must stopped hiring police. This looks bad for the police department

Wife to Cop husband: "Honey, how was your day"? Cop: It was fun, we turned a 15 minute arrest into an all day adventure!"

Honestly I'm truly impressed by how secure that ladder is on that truck..

29:30 railroad crossing 29:41 railroad crossing 29:48 railroad crossing

This person deserves a character on GTA!!

I think the most egregious thing about this chase is the fact that they viciously slammed that innocent man into the ground, busted his nose, and arrested him. Meanwhile the perp gets paraded with tender care into a squad car while they waited on EMTs. Truly an LAPD moment.

I like how the commentator was like "I'm sad to say that this has come to an- I mean I'm happy to say this has come to an end" Man was actually enjoying and I can't blame him

And the guy actually walked away from the vehicle!😮

This brother really thought he was getting away. You can’t outrun a radio and some choppers. 🤭

I swear, this guy must have honestly thought he was in a GTA pursuit from the amount of reckless crimes he had committed. Absolutely insane!

Retired Sheriffs K9 Sgt. I cannot believe how worthless this police department is!!!!!! These Officers could have stopped this numerous times but they just stood back with their thumbs up their A and watched him endanger the public. If you are as scared as they are you need to be fired, this is beyond ridiculous!!!!!

I feel badly for the owner of the truck - it said he bought that truck three weeks ago for his business. You work hard & sacrifice so some maroon can come by, break into your house, steal your keys & take your new vehicle. Sad. Very sad.

Guy was surprisingly competent driver for how fast he was going

My man is perfectly linking drifted corners in a 2 ton work van and this guy with the mic saying he's out of control.

An Oscar for the camera guy filming this!

Kudos to whoever was flying the chopper. That can't be easy--following an erratic driver while also avoiding a crash.

They had him in that cul-de-sac and let him go, unbelievable. Apparently it is their protocol to just let him keep going until he crashes into something or someone, and then they'll go ahead and arrest him. They wouldn't want to endanger the public for crying out loud, they're going to let this guy endanger the public for an hour and a half instead.

The most embarrassing police chase I’ve ever seen

The home owners gave a better fight than the police did trying to stop this guy.....But this whole thing was CRAZY...

I must admit, running commentary on a high speed car chase from the seat of a helicopter has gotta be one of the best jobs on earth!

I want to know why they arrested some guy that he hit on the side of the gas station?

This commentary is far more exciting than any game I have ever watched.

I love that the commentator was worried about the dog under the car. He said his heart stopped. That is adorable

Update: The guy had a warrant out for parole violation. The owner of the truck has a go fund me started to replace his lost equipment he needs to work. The guy in the white vehicle was arrested (charges dropped) for obstruction. When told to get out of the way, he went to the back of his vehicle to get his family out.

The guy commentating this is like hes talking about the final inning of the World Series or something lol.

This guy is literally the worst kind of person to run into. He didn't care whose day he ruined

bro this had to be the most insane police chase of all time

Criminals in CA are treated much nicer than any law abiding citizens. Oh btw., how is the guy doing now, it’s been 1.5 years since the incident.

I HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH INCOMPETENT POLICE WORK IN MY LIFE!!!

As a former police officer, the police had several opportunties to end the chase but failed to do so.

After all that and he still got treated better than the guy they smashed to the ground and arrested for what looks like him just jumping out his car after being crashed into at the servo then taken cover from the shooting.

Полиции браво, как спокойно они его вывели, как ребёнка во время родов, всё было бережно и нежно😁👍🤗🤗🤗😂😂😂 браво😁😁😁

Funny how the driver is being treated more gently than the guy they handcuffed at first

The announcers made this 100x better

that guy is the definition of "dont give up" lmao such determination and will to remain free is unbeliveable

From start to finish, all I can say is...... OH my goodness 😮😮😮😮😮

That guy must be a legend playing video games... Epic driving skills and clearly insane.

They had him stopped twice and he got away. This was absolutely embarrassing unbelievable how lame law enforcement is in LA area.

UPDATE: (Well just literally saw this video ) The Orange County District Attorney's Office was leveling the charges against Johnny Anchondo, 33, of Moreno Valley, as the chase originally began with Fullerton police. Anchondo will face: one felony count of carjacking one felony count of first-degree burglary eight felony counts of assault with a deadly weapon not a firearm on a peace officer one felony count of assault with a deadly weapon other than a firearm two felony counts of theft with a prior felony conviction of taking of a vehicle one felony count of evading a peace officer/reckless driving one felony count of resisting an executive officer three felony counts of vandalism with damage of $400 or more three misdemeanor counts of hit and run with property damage one misdemeanor counts of evading a peace officer and driving against traffic one misdemeanor count of brandishing a weapon one misdemeanor count of possession of a controlled substance one misdemeanor count of possession of controlled substance paraphernalia. He faces 54 years if convicted on all counts. Anchondo was on parole -- for carjacking and evading police -- when he was accused of carjacking at least one victim and evading police Nov. 9.

Worthless law enforcement. Just joy riding behind him with lights and sirens. They had how many opportunities to end this and decided to let him go. Just to follow him.

“a sea of orcas trying to keep up with him” Even though this was a dangerous situation, the commentary was cracking me up

way to go. instead of ending this early when they had him cornered in the apartment complex, they open fire at a gas station 🤦🏿‍♂

The thing that makes me angry is that the people who own those vans probably work really hard. Truck is vital to their business, probably full of tools. Arrogance of law breakers!! 😠

Once the suspect was stopped the officers used terrible tactics; the officers on the driver side were all bunched together making them one huge target, all the suspect had to do was shoot in their general direction to hit someone. The officers on the passenger side were in an absolute crossfire position. After the suspect was in custody there were dozens of officers and firefighters just standing around, doing nothing. What an example of poor training and supervision of a crime scene. Retired police officer, SDPD

An officer posted on the passenger side of the van when it was stuck would have stopped this madness right there. Officers had so many opportunities to end this. They failed miserably

Did they not at any point think to shoot out his tires when they had him trapped in the parking lot?? 🤦‍♀️

And after all of those bullets and slugs he Walks to the police car!

The cowardice and incompetence of those 3 police officers who failed to shoot out his tires or pin the van in the parking lot is astounding. They should all be FIRED.

This entire thing is embarrassing for the police. Had they worked harder in the beginning, NONE of that insane damage would've happened. That guy went full-on GTA here.
