A high-speed, high-risk police chase over a nothing violation like this is an obscenity. I will never understand why people are willing to put up with it — why police aren’t fired, prosecuted, and jailed.

    Police solve less than half of violent crimes and less than 25 percent of theft.

    So their poor results get slightly more poor, but that kid would still be alive? Bet.

      Pull your head out of your ass. This one thief is going to keep stealing cars, keep fleeing at high speed. He’s not going to put this kid at risk once. He’s going to do it dozens of times. And now, with no cops near him when he does kill that kid, he’s going to escape and do it some more.

      You’re not saving this kid. You’re killing more.

        So get him on the next one without a chase, or sell the police tank and invest in drones. Cops speeding around like maniacs isn’t the answer. I can see that even with my head up my ass that there must be a smarter way.

        Do better, is all I’m saying.
