Are You Serious wrote on Mar 26, 2008 8:35 PM:"Gregory"!!!! Your the type of person that finds something to complain about anything and everything!! Too many cops...not enough cops!! Give me a break!! They caught the guy! Cant you give the TPD at least a little credit! Go hide in your hole and watch COPS or CSI since your such an expert.

Jim wrote on Mar 26, 2008 8:38 PM:Gregory.............overkill? Get real. Since the safety of the public is at stake the police did the right thing in putting the maximum amount of their resources on the situation. After all the are protecting me, you and our children. The minor stuff can just wait.

Really... wrote on Mar 27, 2008 5:47 AM:Gregory, One of the choppers was a news chopper. Were you really there? Because it didn't look like overkill to me, or in the San Diego TV news.

Good job to Murrieta PD, and RSO. But what I would really like to know, given how Law Enforcement and the DA's office have to get approval from one judge to hold someone without bail, who was the other judge who overide the first judge's decision and reduced his bail? Was this judge a former defense attorney, or just falling asleep at the bench. Or maybe it was the same judge who thinks DUI murderes should be let off with probation!

Yes I am Serious wrote on Mar 27, 2008 7:51 AM:Who said TPD was involved? I see the article writes about deputies, MURRIETA PD and CHP. But NOT TPD. They were busy writing tickets to school kids crossing the street at Chaparral.

to really wrote on Mar 27, 2008 8:00 AM:I was there also there was 2 sherrif choppers there. Border patrol Murrieta police Temecula police and San Diego Sherrif.

way to go! wrote on Mar 27, 2008 12:06 PM:What is amazing is that with all the police agencies involved, reckless driving by the lovely Mr. Powell and time of day, NO ONE GOT INJURED (Except Mr Powell, who got bit by a police canine!). Not one accident as a result of the pursuit, all officers went home safe and the bad guy is in custody-Great Job to all involved!

Mounty Mentality wrote on Mar 27, 2008 1:35 PM:I see a warrant was issued,there was no mention of the cause for the warrant.Do we all need to be reminded of Temeculas history of high speed cases? Gentlemen Start Your Engines!Rationalized Stupidity! Where is he going to hide with a helicopter following?

Ed wrote on Mar 27, 2008 1:54 PM:This is where the policies of police departments need to be changed. When a man points a gun at another man, he is presenting deadly force and deadly force can be used to stop him. When a man is driving his deadly weapon at a 100mph and about to kill the public at large, then the police need to use deadly force. Chasing them around, putting everyone else in danger is rediculous when all it would take is a couple of shotgun blasts throught the driver's side window to stop this potential muderer.

Serious? wrote on Mar 27, 2008 5:08 PM:Riverside Sheriff Deputies are TPD. Temecula contracts law enforcement through RSO. It's always been that way here. How many times do we have to go over this.

And no, the second helicopter was a news chopper. I can deduct that fact by the TV news from San Diego in which there was video footage from above. Or maybe it was from a satelite.

Not happy with RSO giving you that crosswalk ticket, huh? Hee Hee.

Friend wrote on Mar 28, 2008 11:38 PM:Easy for all of you to sit here and judge this man without knowing any of the circumstances surrounding the situation. But if it makes you all feel like big men tearing someone else down then I guess go for it.
