@metrodetroitnews: JUST IN 🚨: All lanes of westbound I-96 near Merriman are back open after police stopped a stolen car early this morning in Livonia. MSP, Livonia Police followed a stolen vehicle and used their new “grappler” technology to stop the car. The grappler works by securing a fleeing vehicle’s rear tire with a heavy-duty net, tethering it to the patrol car. Three people were arrested, and the investigation is ongoing.

The separate tow truck for the axel 😆

Chad Whitemore :

So who pays for the broken car?

Forever 15 :

ambrosedodd :

Do the police pay for car damage?

rizz19 :

Like a stepchild😭

David Rivera :

If my truck was stolen and this happened to it, I wouldn't be one bit mad at the cops. Im glad they took the car down when they did and they didn't kill anyone else. that's what your insurance is for.

ᅠᅠ⠀᠌ᅠᅠ :

damn huh

thog :

yeah now who is gonna pay to fix my car?

Brian K :

3 what got arrested?

LiL Dani :

Now the victim has no car, lawsuit. They owe the victim a brand new car and money

Terry Kobleck :

I can’t believe all these people whose main concern is the freaking car🙄. No one was hurt and all 3 people in the car had multiple warrants.

Ste B :

Please watch the video. The police didnt rip off the axle. The SUSPECT ripped the axle off with their repeated attempts to drive away after being "grappled."

ASEC ✍🏻 :

Cop must have been like, now that’s satisfying 😭💀

newguywhodied :

Knowing Michigan insurance laws that's probably not covered lmao.

lengenday :

How did that rip the axle off the car?

SportsTourist :

If my car were stolen I would be upset. I would be even more upset if I found out the police totaled it when trying to recover it.

F4Y_LISH :

the car inside🥀

Cross Hyparu :

People who are saying the grappling device is unsafe didnt watch the video of how this happened.

Gambit1983 :

They ripped the axle off the car. That's hilarious. Can't get away now. 🤣🤣🤣

Justainearmsarestrong :

Isn’t the point of reporting a car stolen is to hopefully get it back in one peice?

Db :

Okay the whole rear end is gone the cars useless now

joshjohnson696 :
