High-speed chases are thrilling, whether you’re a part of them or just watching from a screen.
Countless gamers around the globe have entertained the rush of eluding the police in videogames like the Need for Speed franchise.
Unfortunately for real-life criminals (and gamers), it looks like the boys in blue have some new tricks up their sleeves.
Welcome to Phoenix, Arizona.
A recent car chase – something right out of a high-octane video game – witnessed the successful utilization of a new police chase tool.
Let me introduce you to The Grappler.
What it lacks in grace it makes up for in utility.
The product certainly isn’t pretty, but it’s so, so effective.
The Grappler is an innovative new device used to rope-in car chase criminals. It features a transformable mechanism attached to the front bumper of a police car.
When initiated, The Grappler and its yellow nylon bands fold-out, seeking contact with an assailant’s rear wheels.
It’s almost like Wonder Woman’s lasso!
Like Wonder Woman, The Grappler certainly makes fighting crime a little easier.
The revolutionary Grappler device was invented by Leonard Stock of Peoria.
He debuted the prototype years ago, leaving agencies wanting more.
“We’re still on our first year. It’s been fantastic with the agencies that are using it. We’re very excited that Phoenix is one of them.”
Turns out, The Grappler is already saving lives.
Quite simply, The Grappler is engineered to stop car chases quickly and safely. Once the device makes contact with the criminal vehicle, the chase is essentially over.
It was crafted to stifle the countless crazy things that happen in the world.
The Grappler would make Batman proud.
Sometimes alternative methods are necessary to achieve a tricky goal.
In this case, law enforcement needs to ensure the safety of literally everyone involved in these high-speed chases.
When it comes to saving lives, anything’s on the table.
The authorities in Phoenix have taken kindly to the new innovation.
Recently, Phoenix police got wind of two suspected kidnappers making off with an innocent victim.
As the police close in on the perpetrators, a high-speed chase breaks out, endangering the lives of everyone involved.
Aerial footage depicts the entire scene. By this point, the captors have built up a sizeable lead over the police.
Things aren’t looking good…
Then, a law enforcement vehicle sporting The Grappler closes in!
The vehicles soon make contact! Then, the lead car begins slowing to a halt as The Grappler does its job.
Wow, what an incredible sight!
That’s a solid victory for The Grappler and the Phoenix police!
Phoenix officers can rest a little easier knowing they have The Grappler at their disposal.
The Grappler’s greatest feature is safety, providing a cleaner alternative to modern chase methodologies.
The Grappler ensures that the police, criminals, and captives all come away from the chase unscathed.
So far, The Grappler has seen widespread success.
The first successful capture occurred on November 4th of 2018. According to the product’s home website, The Grappler has already been used successfully 94 times!
Now, agencies and departments across the nation are scrambling to get their hands on the groundbreaking innovation.
So what do you think about this wild chase? What do you make of The Grappler?
Do you have any amazing innovations planned?
