Not sure what kinda 17 yr olds you know. I'm 18 so I think that's close enough, and neither I nor my friends would urge the other one to continue a high speed chase for that long. Now if I'm with a friend, and there is little traffic and his CAR is a real quick un and it's just one cop,, well if he wants to run, then I'm not gonna stop him unless somehow that cop manages to stay behind us/my friend is stupid enough to stay on the highway. No way though would I let the chase continue for that long, and definitely not in a SUV. Though I'm not a real big guy so many people would be able to stop me from stopping them. And most/if not all of my friends are actually more smarter (  ) about these things than me, and would freak out if there was even a 5 sec chase.

In actuallity the 15 yr old took his dad's car, and he outran the cops once he made the camaro cruiser crash and he made it home, but his dad turned him in. You can see in the video of the supposed part where he "breaks down" that the time is actually earlier than other parts of the chase they show, and he was actually just slowing to do a u-turn.
Dang im not saying I approve of this kids actions but thats damn impressive!

Yeah, he did alright for a 15 yr old. He made the camaro crash by just jerking his shoulder toward the camaro when it was beside him and the cop over reacted. Hit the median, almost flipped and then went back onto the highway and came close to taking out another cruiser.

Kremi, dude. You seriously need to go on a few ride alongs. Many PDs offer the opportunity for observers to accompany the officers for an evening. You should go on a few to see what it's like for them. After a few, start asking your questions & get their perspective on things. It'll open your eyes to a whole new way of seeing the world.  Knowledge is power!
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

You = moron
Looks who's talking.
AGAIN, other stuff wasn't tried, though if nothing else couldda been tried something needs to be developed to have a better solution. Or no, let's kill innocent people is better.
But cops should...not go killing people every chance they get
You're honestly going to stand behind that statement?

kermit - let me give you another thing to think on.
You wondered if they could have set up some sort of for lack of a better word "moving roadblack" and closed the road to additional traffic ect.
Well one area I know your not focusing on is the behind the scenes of law enforcement. I am very glad I dont have to be out in a car doing the actual "dirty work" - buit I dispatch so I can add a bit of light to this situation. One of the first things that you hacve to take into account is that mabey not all the agencies had the same radio systems. Here in my city we have 2 different radio systems between the local PD and the college pd that also do some helping around town. Sometimes different agencies dont have the equipment to even talk to each other - they would have to roll down their windows and yell. Just one of the intricacies of law enforcement that isnt readily known

You'd be surprised what I know about cops from working with them, dealing with them, and personaly knowing them. Though yeah my statements may not show that.
And yeah that one quote isn't really right, but sure I'll stick by it. There are a few cops that are too triggy happy and whatnot, not really in this case. And when I say cops it's more describing an organization. Anyways, I hate you guys, I'm going home!
