Show Notes
Missoula police successfully apprehend an armed suspect using a grappler device, marking the first real-world use of the tool. The device, mounted on patrol cars, deploys a strap to stop fleeing vehicles without a chase or shots fired. The tool, a step up from stop sticks, was used in a bridge setup, ensuring safety for all involved. The grappler, which works best between 15-75 mph, promises safer stops ahead with no added taxpayer cost.
