Stu Mundel has one of the best jobs...
If you haven't happened across Stu Mundel, FOX11 LA, you're missing a great communicator.
Imagine being paid to fly around in a helicopter all day, while covering police pursuits. Stu's verbal magic is something to behold and sure adds to the story. Somebody bring this guy to Toronto.

CBS News runs a streaming channel called "Car Chase", where it broadcasts archived and live coverage of car chases, mainly in Los Angeles from stations KCBS-TV and KCAL-TV. Stu Mundel used to work for KCBS/KCAL and his old play-by-plays of car chases are usually seen on this channel. It's really riveting TV. The channel is available in the CBS News app, or on the link below.

Just as a sidebar to this, remember the infamous OJ Simpson slow speed car chase?
You probably know that Ford decided to scrap the Bronco brand of SUV because they did not want to promote the memory of the vile killer (at least in civil court).
So guess what Ford dreamed up to replace the Bronco -- something that would not make anyone think of OJ, surely.
They called the replacement the "Escape."
Also drivers will notice that the Bronco brand has now been brought back!
I've seen several on the road in recent months.
So what was that all about?

I used to wonder about the rationale for that slow speed OJ pursuit, until I discovered that almost all LA pursuits are that way.
Viewing Youtube videos of 'Arkansas Police Pursuits' provides an entirely different perspective on police pursuits.
LA pursuits run anywhere from one to three hours. Arkansas pursuits usually last less than 15 minutes. 🤣
A better way of describing LA pursuits would be to label them LA police escorts.
