There's another thing that you are all failing to mention about their death..............neither driver, nor the passenger, were wearing seatbelts. They MIGHT have had a chance to live if they did..........I do say MIGHT. I saw what the truck looked like after and I honestly don't think they would have survived either way.
I have to agree, whether they used spike strips or the PIT, either way would result in a very bad ending. The officers did what they had to do to keep thousands of people safe, and if it meant ending those two lives, well, so be it, they chose to run all because of a suspended license. I have ABSOLUTELY no sympathy for that kind of stupidness.
