The video shows that Kia passes Minneapoli's Squad Car past the police, the police defend the decision not to pursue

The Minneapolis police say that teenagers mock them after a dangerous driver was seen how they tore a street directly through a patrol car in broad daylight.

In a video that looked online for thousands of times, a stolen Kia -SUV seemed to be in the city center in the city center shortly before 7 a.m. on Tuesday morning.

Paul Hagen von Hagen's wing had a seat in the front row.

“The first thing I thought about was of course to protect myself. I was near the entrance, the door, and stayed there, only in the event that he lost control – I could jump into the building. It is brick. I could be safe,” said Hagen.

A block removed, and moments later the car stops in front of a police square of the Minneapolis police and accelerates.

On Thursday, Minneapolis police chief, Brian O'Hara, defended the decision not to pursue the car, and despite the efforts to bait the police in the persecution of the police, and does not say.

“If a vehicle is simply stolen, there is no violence, violence or weapon involved, the police should not pursue stolen cars,” said O'Hara.

On the street, the Flower bar owner Andrea Corbin says that she was called and sent the city guides with countless concerns by e -mail.

“Something has to be given. We cannot work so. It is not correct and it is not fair. It's not fair for everyone who lives in this city,” said Corbin.

According to the Minneapolis police data, both car theft and carjackings from that time have dropped last year.
