So you wuld rather mindlessly ram them off the road into a tree and KILL them than try to make it work.




There is nothing "mindless" about doing a PIT at 100+. You don't just casually run into a car at 100mph. That cop risked is own life to stop them.

I'm sure the cops tried to think of any number of things before risking their own lives and PITing a car at that speed -- they did let the chase continue for 60 miles didn't they? What do you think they were doing all that time? Drawing straws on who would get to do it?

WHO CARES if it screws up traffic as long as you safe a life.




Did I say anything about traffic? No, I said you're impossible idea would likely cause additional accidents.

Weather they are guilty or innocent these are still peoples lives we are talking about.




Yeah, and every second they're on the road they risk dozens more lives. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.

After all isn't that what cops are for, TO SAVE LIVES.




And, as far as I'm concerned, those cops probably saved the lives of dozens of innocent people on the road by taking the lives of 2 (or at least 1) guilty ones.
