The truth is you don't know what they were running for. The truth is that the cops took the life of 2 people, one innocent, without knoledge of why they were even running.
You admit you don't know what they're running for, yet you still go on about "innocence". For all you know the two people just killed someone. You have no idea whatsoever about the innocence or guilt of anyone in that truck, and neither did the police at hand. They only knew they were running like hell for some reason.

I dont think they would have made it 60 miles at 100+mph if the driver was drunk. Any other reason isn't good enough to take someones life.
So now drunk driving is punishable by death in your mind? My, aren't we a little hypocritical.
Quote:
If they backed off and let them think they got away they would have slowed and gone home. The cops could have picked them up later.
Home? Where's Home? How the hell do you follow them home without following them?
And don't say Registration -- my registration hasn't had my home address on it ever in my life.

But you're missing my point. Which is, It happens, cops can get around it, and this time they made a choice to kill people instead of trying to stop them. And you cant tell me that a pit manuver at 100+ is trying to stop them... its not... its trying to kill them to elimate the threat,
Feel free to come up with something better -- no one's came up with anything yet.
The latest 2 suggesstions are:
1> Shooting out Radiators -- GSP don't have partners with them to shoot a gun, but let's assume they did... They have to get in front of a car going 125mph, hold a gun backwards out a car window, and hit a 1-foot square while going that fast. Chances are far more likely they'd shoot a person -- where they hell would that get them?
2> Shooting out Tires -- Again, provided you had someone to shoot you now have to hit a target about 6in x6in -- not likely. And a blow-out at that speed is more fatal than the PIT manuever.
Any other bright ideas to come from our own resident 'experts' on what cops should do in a given situation?

THE COPS HAD NOTHING ON THE PASSENGER. THEREFORE HE/SHE (I CANT REMEMBER) IS INNOCENT!!!!! THE COP KILLED AN INNOCENT PERSON.
ALSO IF ALL THEY HAD ON THE DRIVER WAS A SUSPENDED LICENCE, THAT IS NOT ENOUGH REASON TO KILL THEM. SOME COPS NEED TO LEARN WHEN ITS TIME TO BACK OFF!!!
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO "INNOCENT BEFORE PROVEN GUILTY IN A COURT OF LAW". COPS DONT HAVE THE RIGHT TO SENTANCE SOMEONE TO DEATH, UNLESS THEY ARE ACTING IN SELF DEFENCE TO PROTECT THEIR OWN LIFE. THE DRIVER OF THE SUV WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ENDANGERING ANYONE IF THE COPS HAD KNOWN WHEN TO BACK OFF.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, COPS ARE BEING GIVEN WAY TOO MUCH POWER.
THE PEOPLE IN THE SUV HADN'T KILLED ANYONE, THEREFORE THEY DO NOT DESERVE TO DIE!

Wow, your craftly use of the caps lock button really convinces me of your point!
But anyways,
Think about this logically. Suspended license = fine, running from cops = jail time, but if something else found w/ suspended license = more jail time then, running from cops sounds like a viable option. Innocent people generally don't run, but when they do they normally pull over eventually and say it just isn't worth it.
"Helicopter"
huh? Lemme guess, a big magnet on the bottom and they just life the car off the road

The cops had nothing on either you dense-headed [censored]. Only after the fact did anyone have any clue why they were running.

By your logic let's not have cops at all! Cops just scare criminals into doing crazy [censored] like high-speed chases and taking hostages. From now on, whenever a cop tries to pull me over, I'll just drive over 100mph because they'll never be able to do a damn thing about it in your rose-colored world.

We know that now. The cops didn't then. People don't generally run like that for no damn good reason.
What is they had killed someone. What if the cops let them go because it "got dangerous". And then they killed someone else? You'd be on your little box yelling about how the cops should have stopped them before.
[censored] hypocrit.

So the cops should have just backed off and let these people haul a$$ on outta there? Well damn I'm gonna remember that the next time a cop wants to pull me over for running a red light. I'll just speed away and expect the cop to know when to back off and eventually he'll just let me go right? That's some seriously PISSPOOR logic man.
I'm willing to bet you'd change your story real quick of the cops had let them run away and the SUV ended up running over a friend or family member of yours. Then you'd be whining about cops not doing their job and got your friend/family member killed.

I saw this thing on TV several years ago; unfortunately I can't find anything by google search on it. Basically, it was about Italian (I think) police rigging up their cars with this harpoon type thing. It was mounted to the front folded in for normal driving but with the flip of a switch it would pop straight out from the front. The police would then ram into a car during a chase and hit their brakes causeing the runaway vehicle to stop. They also were working on a system that would allow them to spray some sort of tear gas through the harpoon to incapacitate the occupants of the vehicle. I thought it was brilliant but will never happen in the U.S. because of excessivle whiney people. They'll whine about a cop having to run some fool off the road but if you post another alternative "OMG that's inhumane and not safe and wah wah wah wah"
I think some people just like to whine for the sake of hearing their own voices.
