Police In San Diego Pursue A Stolen Tank

[Aznwarlord7]

@mazotheman, you dont fire missles on american soil until you are at like defcon 5, because the explosion will kill many bystanders, armor peircing bullets are a better choice as they wont demolish the highway and everyone on it.

[nookzaa]

He think he's playing GTA

[vigorousAtheist]

I don't understand why they couldn't just have gotten another tank and blown it up before it went on such a long ass rampage

[bigbobkropp]

@vigorousAtheist where is the shell going to go one it punches through the tank? through every cop car behind it.

[vigorousAtheist]

@bigbobkropp

There aren't just Sabot rounds you know that right? There's something called a high explosive anti tank round that would take out the tank and nothing else when it was on the freeway

[RC60618]

@vigorousAtheist.

I BELIEVE that tank he was using costs alot money, so they needed in one piece.

do you throw money in the trash?

[vigorousAtheist]

@RC60618

You don't understand how emergency scenarios like this work. I'm sure if the tank never got stuck, and the Army was in charge of the scenario, they would have destroyed the tank.

[Darkhunter218]

Dumbass didn't lock the hatch that's why they were able to open it, plus the fucking idiot got it stuck on a divider.

[Darkhunter218]

Oh God how would they stop an Abrams tank today?

[Mazotheman]

@Darkhunter218 F16 with some AT missiles would do the job.

[bigbobkropp]

@Darkhunter218 you dont. lol. wait for it to run dry, or try and blow a tread off it.

[Darkhunter218]

@bigbobkropp The police aren't going to be able to blow a tread off, besides, if the idiot had locked the hatch they wouldn't be able to open it except for using a plasma cutter, also, he wasn't armed lol.

[TheCentralServices]

Great man! Why didn't he use the cannon to defend his freedom?

[b2o4e]

@TheCentralServices

probably didnt have ammunition. also you cant drive them and shoot at the same time with 1 man

[irokatcod4]

does insurance cover tanks smashing their car?

[pemwew]

i wanna do this before i die

[L6292]

I love that guy.

[angelking231]

i wonder if they had send another tank to destroy it if he wouldnt have stopped himself

oh and next time you steal a tank, bring a loader and a gunner with you so you can use that turret, too ;)

[pariwat191]

GTA

[Doniando]

OS AMERICANOS ESTAO JOGANDO MUITO GTA SAN ANDREAS

[Coolnventions]

That guys is dum, who steals a tank and forgets to get shells lol

[juggla56]

it would ran outta gas eventually



[6digit]

what type of tank is that

[DjLegoLas1]

reminds me of GTA XD

[ellucinate]

FUCKING AWESOME

[Alpha579]

Zwo questions:

First: How the fuck did he get that thing?

Second: How the fuck can someone be stupid enaugh to get busted in a tank by normal police officers?

[AnonymousCowardX]

"Know what? I'm gonna just steal some tank" lol - as simple as that

[rafhunter55]

I would of just followed him am see how far he went

[PutAnEpicNameHere]

Gta IRL

[GuitarMassacre]

Can you imagine driving down the highway and seeing a fucking TANK barreling over the median into your lane?

Also, I wonder how long the tank would have lasted had it not gotten stuck.

[SolalChabauty]

America, San Andreas IRL, killing a man when doesn't needed.

[SolalChabauty]

I was listenning to Brodyquest video while watching this. With the music going on ? Fun times I tell you.

[Midnightryder7]

Think i saw this on the news when it happend

[yottky]

What else can we expect from a country full of war criminals. LOL..

Steal a tank and go commit some war crimes. This is the "freedom" of America. hahahaha

[jester3454]

Cruisin down on the highway riding a tank like a boss

[dockarnage]

sippin cognac and coke in a McDonald's cup cruisin down the highway. "oh shit, a tank!!"

[TheBasicStuff]

Moral of the story,buy insurance

[joholj1204]

lol! @0.11 the way the light pole goes down. Exactly like GTA!

[seison5]

why is this happening only in america???pfff

[mediummastagh3]

too bad you cant spray and pay tanks,

[lordkieta]

>Both comments are about GTA

>video takes place in '95

[TheFuckthisshit]

"no citizens are harmed" except for the guy killed.

[bcdownloads1]

lol America, the guy didn't need to be killed

[cabo02]

@bcdownloads1 The police kill people here so they won't come back and sue them. Myself, i think they could have tasered him.

[HecklrKch]

Thanks to the bravery of the San Diego police? WTF.

The tank was hung up on the divider and was no longer able to go anywhere. It was essentially a "mobility-kill".

The RIGHT thing to do would be to wait him out. No food, water & it's hot. They could've dropped CS in there and forced him out, but again the BRAVE police decide to MURDER him because, "hell, I get to kill someone and nobody will give a shit". Typical cops, real brave when there's nobody shooting back. Wake up, people.

[kanetidus]

wow,i love this video and i didn't think that a tank have so much power of destruction.

[periesicsd]

perfect gettaway vehicle! just find a faster model!

[chrisstevensjunior]

He's trying to start a revolution..we definitely need it..

[ProudFinn1]

a Stolen tank? WTF is thys, Vice City?. LOl, They don't get paid enough for that crap.

[TheOmegagunner]

Ok like how do you steal a tank and figure out how to drive and start it!?

[bigboobsnbeer]

@TheOmegagunner He was an ex soldier. Read the description.

[TastyGenitals]

Way to ruin it by getting stuck...

[Ged1s]

@xxxfatalityxxx1995 im sure u dont drive something that doesnt have a steering wheel either :))

[eggplan321]

0:49 looks like a delorean!

[Rawrhammer]

how the fuck can you steal a tank,?

[deppleo1]

the driver of the tank is a true american hero--the pigs that shot him jus wanted to get squishy hot pussy from the women--i applaud the tank driver..hats off man--to bad u didnt get any cops

[Ged1s]

He wasnt normal guy, he knew how to pilot tanks before...ex military dude :)))

[xxxfatalityxxx1995]

@Ged1s Pilot tanks? You dont pilot something that doesnt fly.... -_-

[oneone1onezero0]

Shit, if I had a tank, the last thing I would do is RUN from the cops. I'd be squashing the shit out of there little pos crown vics. Ole dude was doing well until he fucked up and got on the freeway. I mean come on, how are you gonna PIT a tank?

[paledude21]

how did a mental person STEAL A TANK?

[JBossINC]

how in the hell does a normal guy know how to drive a tank that well.

[rfhtje]

@JBossINC read discription its an ex soldier.....

[texlyon]

[The5starSTUNNNA]

POLICE STATUS ******

[temp911Luke]

San Diego Police, EXCELLENT JOB and BRAVERY !

[adtv2]

[gabriel27000v]

i was so guna say GTA even before i clicked ont the video

[r3ds0xfan01]

Wow who knew it was easy to steal a tank in real life and gta too!

[SudiArabia]

I wonder what would've happened had the stolen vehicle been an Apache or one of those flying bombers.

It's America. Anything could happen anywhere anytime.

[Bl00dSeEkEr98]

Just type AIWPRTON... :)

[ManhattanProjectsInc]

Chuck Norris and his daily commute

[TheDancinDoggeh]

if i was in the neighborhood i wouldve climbed on that mudafuckers tank and tried to break in. if i couldnt, i would so pretend i was surfing on that tank.

[shovaLkariti]

WWOOWWW

murderer

[W3stCast]

Panzer Code :D

[jcalpha103]

Why do they always say it was like a war zone..........have they ever been to a warzone. I wouldn't think iraq is a place with pristeen houses and a couple of crushed cars.

[yesiamawizardjonny]

@jcalpha103 They're trying to be dramatic but they're retarded. It's the media dude... Of course they've never been to war.

[AsekOneM2C]

how the fuck did he manage to steal a tank lol

[Kamenos4ever]

@AsekOneM2C used a cheat to spawn it.

[devastationz12349]

@AsekOneM2C the guy was a US army vet and he stole the tank from a national guard depot

[thesancezzz]

Leve britney alone!

[Merovingi72]

Thumbs up if your first thought was GTA.

[PrestoneFuegoKL]

@Merovingi72 Quit beggins for thumbs up. You look pitiful.

[wewd]

This was in 95 and I remember watching it live. A friend of mine in SD lived on a street the dude drove down and his neighbor owned the white truck run over by the tank. Look up "Shawn Nelson" on Wikipedia if you want to know more about the guy who stole the tank and how he stole it.

[jonathan127011]

GTA SAN ADNREAS D: jajajajaj

[gabigowriel]

"no retarded citizens are harmed"... and the LUCIFERIAN WORLD CAN KISS SATAN ASS ONE MORE DAY...

FUCK YOU

[yuri250333]

a man with a history of mental problems has stolen a tank from a military installation. i like the wording!! installatino not BASE. and "HISTORY OF MENTAL PROBLEMS" yeah right the fucking real story would be something like, a guard fell asleep at his post and a gang member smiply disarmed him and stole the fucking take to sell!!

[tomana27ue]

this guy just played Grand Theft Auto too much... sometimes i wish to do the same :P

[satanzad]

gta san diego)

[hertzbus]

This one ripped Madison High School's image.

[assthunder]

SO FUNNY HAHAHAAAA

[Sappharos]

He totally just rolled over that van...

[Jaffet1990]

I wonder how in the he'll I gotta hold of the tank in the first place

[TacoMan717]

How to take out a stolen tank: get another tank and take it out!!!

[LahainaGeneration]

GTA VIce city: Tommy Vercitti is just trying to finish a mission!

[Snaps2346]

No citizens are harmed? They fucking killed Shawn Nelson!

[CircusofPython]

Bill D'Hauterive? He took the tank this far all the way from Arlen?

[Zoza15]

Well at least he had his last fun? :P

But seriously, this is fucked up!.

[ecupaulac666]

that is just crazy



[privatedonut02]

God I hope those people had insurance.

[killerbiller35]

the tank wasnt moving anymore, stop bullshitting us.

[magprob]

I was two blocks over when this shit went down. We could hear it rummbling by from my back yard. It was this huge, unbelievable noise with sirens, loud speakers, people screaming, and shit crunching and crashing. I thought we were attacked by the Tijuana army or some shit! I was born and raised in Diego, and I have seen some crazy shit from time to time, but this one took the cake.

[jamesdean1904]

i saw this shit happen when i was a kid that mother fucker rolled in front of my house. my mom was tweeken hard and was like THERES A FUCKEN TANK OUTSIDE WE'RE GUNNA DIE! my dad told her to shut up and that she was crazy then he heard it and he started to flip out. i thought the shit was cool

[dinhquocte87]

a crazy fan of GTA =))))))))))))))))))

[Jakiirod]

he plays GTA too much

[NewWaveFan1]

@Jakiirod This was a few years before gta came out I think rockstar got their ideas for gta from this guy.

[jrxjjeep]

@NewWaveFan1 funny bro

[XTR3MEBASS15]

@Jakiirod

AHA!!!! LOL!! ur right..... but when you get shot here... you dont respawn outside the hospital.... you end up in a box, 6' under... :) lol... hope they have youtube in hell... so this guy can see what cost him his life.....

[exceptional1414]

@Jakiirod damn! comment thieves... lol....

[locouk]

It wasn't the cop who shot him, it was the army insurance ombudsman.

[SuperSamwan]

That guy is nuts, man!!

[SR71ABCD]

This is real GTA and a real Rhino!

[Getroza]

i knew gta 2 could happen inreal!

[blkbrdsr71]

And to think what would happen if the Tank went over the divider O.O

[KeramatZMode]

The driver is Carl Johnson.

[selatik1]

@KeramatZMode That is incorrect. The tank driver was Shawn Timothy Nelson.

[masterchief2323]

@selatik1 you dont get it lol its from GTA San Andreas

[selatik1]

@masterchief2323 OK me get it.

[JoeyLeone1000]

kid in backseat:heyyyy mommy, look, a tank! mom: thats nice d..wait wait what???? kid: a tank! *car gets crushed over*. so remember, if you see a tank coming towards you, turn around and FLOOR IT. but seriously, who steals a damn tank???

[JoeyLeone1000]

remember kids, dont take gta seriously, dont steal cars, and always wear your seatbelt...lol

[DominicRiv]

Only in the USA

[BeAsTm0aD]

"All units be advised, code... uhh, code, we don't have a code for this, there's a tank in the street."

[detectiveinspekta]

@ViresVeneratio Sorry I dont get the reference. How are they related?

[VladStrelkov]

lol he went over a cement divider anyone ever hear of tank traps

[fishingboy11]

if i saw my car ran over by a tank i would run in side get my rpg run back out and shoot the sun of a bitch

[7001shadow]

@fishingboy11 You are a fucking moron, you probably don't even have a knife, let alone a pistol, let alone a rifle, let alone an AUTOMATIC rifle, LET ALONE A FUCKING ROCKET LAUNCHER.

[bliss0512]

WHY DOES EVERYONE GO TO THE FREEWAY??? DONT PEOPLE LEARN ANYTHING FROM GTA? FROM MOST WANTED?? CMON!

[Anusdhka]

this guy have played to much GTA

[Lalotattoos1]

That guy surrender and open the door and still they killed him. That guy is lying as soon as he open the door they shot him like 15 times and they seen him moving and shot more. FTP fuck the police. I seen it live

[briutas]

Stole tank :DDDDD

[HuskerSeaofRed]

dude should have got cocky and went ghost rider as the tank crushes cars.

[zelodec]

that guy played World of Tanks for to long =P

[KillaHacker92]

haha...lol...playing tooo muck GTA^^

[donnthomas]

he took gta way to serieus

[slapmesilly99]

I was waiting for Cleveland to say " no no no no No!!!". CRASH

[winxpman02]

AMERICA !!!!! F€¥K YEAH !!!!!

[HappyFlamingPeople]

WASTED!

[theminigunner98]

Ha that's sweet!!

[0xsergy]

@ketlerkids123 Collateral damage idiot.

[ketlerkids123]

Why dont they just drop a bomb on the tank?

[Coastalrange]

Cops vs tank... All those police are luck to be alive. That was NOT the correct way to respond. Upon the tank being stolen there should have been national guardsmen there. There and doing their best to disable the tank.

[Pupixario]

Where do you find a tank to steal it WTF

[haroonde]

I did this on GTA all the time.

[ladyluck2019]

I wonder Does Insurance cover this ?

[LatinoVibe]

Dispatcher: Pursuit in process

Cop: I'm near, what's the car description.

Dispatcher: It's a tank

Cop: ....

[sactothebay]

That's fucking badass. I want that dude's autograph.

[degostile]

HE WAS JUST HAVING A BAD DAY THATS ALL LOL

[XscXps3]

[alpergumussu]

[MrGameboy6]

[limon919]

HOW THE FCK DO U STEAL A TANK FROM MILLITARY BASE????

[TF2Pyrosux]

[TheEpfghfd]

[pomponica]

[Gregourii]

[bladiumdragon]

@limon919 He haxed real life.

[Beliserius1]

@limon919

If you work in the military base or used to, it isn't hard.

[simonmaersk]

@limon919 The guy was an ex-soldier, he knew that military base, and where all the "weak" spots were.

[limon919]

@limon919

[limon919]

[dragonome]

@limon919

[MJStanfliet]

This video is so cool!

[TheInfiniator]

[12OclockLow]

@TheInfiniator HAHA! So true.

[appleintosh]

@TheInfiniator now that bin ladens dead its sure to come

[runiemage99]

@TheInfiniator totaly agree!



[Kalenmor]

I LMAO after that last line "thanks to the bravery of the SD police bla bla bla no citizens were harmed" WTF ? They couldn't do nothing, that psycho just didn't want to kill, if he wanted to kill he would easily do it and no bravery would help there.

[degostile]

@Kalenmor LOL TRUE

[jesuschrististhebest]

well at least the tank wont cause anymore trouble or get anyone killed

[CLAUD21212]

GTA SAN ANDREAS :)

[willinullvier]

tanks made in the usa> hahahahahaha

[hardnut451]

why didnt they just send 2 M1A1 abram tanks after him the the chase would have ended alot quicker.

[mrperson296]

@hardnut451 Oh yeah, because San Diego totally has a fleet of Abrams ready at the station with a tank crew to just go around shooting other tanks and sending shrapnel into peoples faces. God you are stupid.

[hardnut451]

@mrperson296 are you fucking retarded mate ever heard of the SWAT that have APCs and thereis SWAT in every main city like san diego new york and that its america they have fucking everything if they need a tank there get one in seconds god im the stupid one you need to brush up on your knowledge about the world i know alot more stuff about america then you and your family brains put together so shut the fuck up dont reply and go get hit by a bus or tank

[mrperson296]

@hardnut451 Oh totally, because the SWAT team has a fleet of Abrams with a crew ready to go. Forget about that fact that they are in a neighborhood with pedestrians all around them and that Abrams are for military use only. But, in your world, I guess they would just contact the air force and have them airlift one in. BTW, do you even know what the swat team does? Because they sure as hell don't train with tanks.
