finally cops are using something effective to stop car chases.... the Grappler. Invented a decade ago, first used by law enforcement in 2018. Chasing car thieves isn't a good idea, it's rarely uneventful, often causes crashes, etc


Grappler's inventor, Leonard Stock. Stock, who lives in Peoria, was a roofer for three decades before coming up with the idea, in a dream, as a way to safely end police pursuits.

  2. So... the device worked, they were safely apprehended. Yet the police needed 8-9 more units well into the evening to "secure" the site? How much money did that cost?
