Not at all, the police have to give some sort of persuit of a criminal. But there is a massive difference between a pilfered car with seven young teens in it and a getaway car speeding away from the scene of an armed bank robbery. If that cop's daughter were in the car would he have chased it down like that, or would he have radiod ahead for help and tried to just block it off down the road? You and I both know the answer to that question.
We were all born with brains and, hopefully, a sense of fairness and decency. How important to society is it that we chase down seven kids on a joy ride at all costs, even at the cost of their lives or the lives of innocent bystanders? Sorry, but it's just that I clearly remember a different time, with a different attitude in society. Police Commissioners, Cheifs and Mayors did NOT want these high speed chases for petty crimes.... they had the brains and compassion to understand that the benefits of nabbing a teen car theif did not outweigh the risks involved in a high speed chase. And this incident is a perfect example of why it's just plain WRONG. Human life has been devalued not only in the abortion clinics, but all over our society now.
