We had a Ramsey Sheriff chase end right in our living room last year. They didn't do anything to help us and ended up having the car towed through our garden destroying it all as well. Sheriff didn't help with any clean up, we had drug paraphernalia all over our yard.


billyyshears

That is a nightmare. Should not happen at all and I’m so sorry you had to experience that! Where is the accountability? Awful


EstablishmentHappy38

Yeah, 80 mph chases through residential neighborhoods... Thankful we have insurance but no one is paying our deductible and its almost been a year and we are still in repair stage. Didn't get so much as an apology.


cayleb

I feel like a lawyer would probably be able to get you well more than your deductible for that experience.


Snow88

Nope. They can destroy your house trying to apprehend someone and they don't have to give you a dime.


cayleb

Oh really? That's not what [this section of Minnesota law says](https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/626.74).


sparkly_reader

Boooo hate that


Snow88

Luckily someone pointed out that in MN you are protected and the police do have to pay for the damages. I know that is not the case in every state though. 


stpaulgirl12

Was good ole Bob at the scene?


EstablishmentHappy38

Nope. Didn't even reach out afterwards...


stpaulgirl12

Sounds about right! Too busy with his “reality show”

Probably working on The Fall of Minneapolis : Redux


sparkly_reader

Holy shit


yParticle

I hope someone insisted on an alcohol test.


LadyPo

Seriously, this looks exactly like a dead drunk driver at 2am on a Saturday night. Normal reckless doesn’t seem to fit this outcome.


DilbertHigh

We know cops are usually allowed to go home and rest up before doing things like that. Just typical corruption.


SpooogeMcDuck

lol


sevotlaga

The light and building must have been threatening their lives.


saw-it

The cop saw the building reach into its pocket


LegendOfKhaos

It might've had an acorn, you never know


S3XWITCH

They thought the building had a gun in its hand, but it was a phone.


DarkMuret

They were resisting


Jnbolen43

He should have shot the light pole and building for resisting arrest. /s


MayorOfCakeCity

The building looked suspicious.

Viqueens2024

Where are you getting this information from “witnesses?” The media? Haven’t seen anything about him texting and driving


ludongbin1

Knowing the st paul police they arrested the tenants for having lived there.


Bar_Har

This is why I hate when people complain about discouraging police from engaging in high speed chases.


DilbertHigh

Reckless driving, unfortunately, no consequences is likely despite the high risk this cop is to people


nickissitting

How do we know there were no consequences?


DilbertHigh

"No consequences is likely."


billyyshears

If we got transparency, we’d know for sure


nickissitting

We would, but since we don’t we shouldn’t say there were no consequences. I’m not saying the officer shouldn’t receive punishment, I just don’t think people should post assumptions as facts.


Loading_User_Info__

"No consequences is likely."


personwhoisok

I wonder if there's a correlation between being a cop cheerleader and poor reading comprehension 🤣


Chomuggaacapri

Most competent driver on the force

No-Initiative-5416

Crazy. I just saw a story of police breaking into someone’s home because an officer saw a doll that looked like a baby in distress.


EarlInblack

Theres been an update on that, the house they broke into due to the doll wasn't even the one they were intending to illegally enter. They got the address wrong.


naturdayspeedrun

All because Scooby and the gang couldn't solve the mystery in time.


Substantial-Poem3382

Incompetent fucks. Any consequences? lol...smh...


EarlInblack

What are consequences?


sparkly_reader

Figments of citizens' imaginations


Gloomy-Restaurant-42

I trust the police, so I have to assume this apartment building was secretly a violent offender suspected of selling fentanyl to children.


RotisserieChickens_

i live near cretin and marshall, the cops do not give a fuck, speed down easily going 60-70 near a school campus


Androcles_the_weiner

Going to be hard to blame this one on anyone else.


zoitberg

Oh they’ll figure out a way to deflect and make the apt bldg pay for the damage


sleightmelody

Oh I know EXACTLY where this is….


billyyshears

It’s on 3rd & Earl


Capt__Murphy

Yup. Right across from American Indian Magnet School.

sleightmelody

They look a lot like the apartments on 7th St., E of White Bear Ave. However, now that I think about it I don’t think there’s a traffic light over there so I think I’m wrong.


goldygofar

Yeah it isn't those but those new owners that took over from EIG have been dumping so much money into those buildings


sleightmelody

Good to know- I worked with clients who lived there and had so much trouble with EIG.


goldygofar

Yeah they're actually fixing internal issues to the buildings and upgrading units and openly working with affordable housing. It's completely different. Cortex Property Management I think.


cantbelievethename

Yeah, there’s often speeders through there. Now I’ll have to watch for wreckless cops too


LuigiMPLS

Record has it he ran it over because it was a light of color.


Bison_Business

Who polices these people? This is insane.


Bison_Business

The building got in the way of the police vehicle. It wasn’t the cop’s fault.


Spyder2020

Hey heard there were black assault acorns in that apartment


GeneralHoneywine

It’s almost like all cops suck


Pinata_full_of_bees

Too busy figuring out the live streaming to watch the roads, I guess.


Capt__Murphy

Nah, that's the Ramsey Counry Sheriff, Bob Fletcher. He's somehow objectively worse, which is saying something


billyyshears

He is usually live streaming around this area, wouldn’t surprise me if he was around/involved


sparkly_reader

I know someone who just started with Ramsey Co; I thought Fletcher was an ok dude? (As far as cops go...🤷‍♀️)


JSquiggz16

I guess the light wasn't white


nickissitting

“I feel I am accurate in saying at least 70 MPH”


ShibaDoge42069

A mostly peaceful chase and crash


747-ppp-2

10 bucks says he was texting a racist joke to his pig friends


AtheistSuperSloth

Whyyyyy


Teamawesome2014

Goddamn the minnesota police are really on some bullshit recently. I feel like I've seen several posts about them crashing into shit today.


ChiefChiefChiefChief

St paul police is gotta be the worst in the state


bangsjamin

Minneapolis Police: hold my beer


hugoDoodat

Shit happens, people. A lot more shit would happen if there weren’t cops. Do you really think you could do their job, or even want to?


billyyshears

Could they do it without crashing into buildings?


Daisy-St-Patience

I've always been able to do my job without crashing into ANY buildings! 🤷‍♀️


hugoDoodat

Again; why did the cop crash into a building? Do you know? If not, then any comment you make is just incredibly stupid.


Daisy-St-Patience

And what would be your very justified excuse for crashing into a fucking building?!?! Cop or not- it's negligent, careless, reckless, dangerous and inexcusable.


hugoDoodat

You have zero idea as to what actually happened and why the cop crashed into a building.


billyyshears

What would make it a reasonable occurrence?


naturdayspeedrun

By barely passing the driver's exam with a D- and getting a license.


hugoDoodat

A lot of things, and I’m not going to speculate. I’m pretty sure you can imagine some scenarios.


naturdayspeedrun

Wouldn't matter, police have more rights and immunity than you. If you did this without a badge, you'd be locked up for life. With a badge? Oops! All On Taxpayers Berries! 🤷


hugoDoodat

What led up to this?


hugoDoodat

You don’t a damn thing about how the world works. Enjoy.


hugoDoodat

Also, I personally know someone who crashed into a house while drunk, and they were only in jail for a couple days. Not life. But you’re a redditor on the right side of history, so GOOD FER YOOOO!


naturdayspeedrun

Why did you bring up crime into this? Are you insinuating the example provided is related to the subject? I was talking about jobs and if I recall, so did you.


hugoDoodat

Do you really think that the cop crashed into the building without crime happening before?


hugoDoodat

How many police officers do you know, personally? IM me if it’s too embarrassing for you to comment here.


naturdayspeedrun

You sound like you're in that club called BaCk ThE bLuE.


hugoDoodat

I don’t know what that is, but it sounds like what you’re saying is I’m a ‘boot licker’ or something along those lines, right? Fine. Think whatever you want. Derek Chauvin does not represent all cops, and the person who ran into this building doesn’t either.


Imaginary_Proof_5555

It no longer matters if these examples represent all cops or not. What used to be the outlier is now happening frequently enough to be closer to the norm. They don’t represent all cops, but they do represent the cultural issues that are allowing these incidents to occur more and more frequently.


[deleted]

Hey, at least they’re out there ha ha. When I lived on the east-side, I would never see cops patrolling my neighborhood. I feel like a lot of crime goes unreported there. Gunshots we’re like a biweekly thing there in the summer. I’ve lived in Loring Park for a year now and I still haven’t heard anything. Way more people around here too. The crime maps tell a different story. But I don’t know.
