"Four police cars, lights on and sirens blaring, chased a man in a go-cart at top speeds of 20 mph through downtown St. Paul on Tuesday evening."

"The four squad cars were able to force the go-cart into a parking lot near the main post office. But once there, the man continued to weave around and try to escape, once hitting his neck on a low-hanging chain bordering the lot. He kept his seat and continued driving."

"The officer pulled out a taser and fired, connecting and shocking the driver. The man let go of his steering wheel and began to slow, but the shock abated and the man again grabbed hold of the steering wheel and tried to regain control.
The officer shocked him again. The second Taser shock ended, and the go-cart slowed and stopped. Officers pulled the driver out of his seat and attempted to subdue him, but he fought with them, and they Tased him a third time. "

commentary: question is are all worms present and accounted for? i really don't have any extra $$$ this week to bail anyone out of lock-up. is it really called a "chase" at 20 mile per hour? isn't it really just a waiting game?
