Quote: At the time everyone in that car was a criminal
Exactly how cops think. Innocent until proven guilty. Unless you're a cop. Then anybody and everybody is guilty until proven Innocent.

At the time all the cops knew was that they tried to pull someone over and they took off. They didn't know...
THEY DIDNT KNOW. Which means, they assumed they were guilty. Which is WRONG.

Please explain how that is "hypocritical". I believe you must be using that world incorrectly.
They were not both criminals. The cops had no way of knowing what the passengers relationship was. Therefor, Like it was said eariler, The passenger could've been kidnapped for all they know. And they would've killed an innocent person. What if that passenger was your daugther? You would be on the other side of the argument. My arguement is based on facts known prior to the end of the chase. Boxing a car in, is a non-lethal option, and yes it can be done safely at that speed. With or without the help of truckers. Getting infront of the car and slowly braking the cop car is another way of slowing the car down. It was mentioned that its possible to live from a PIT at high speeds like was done before when a helicopter was chasing a stolen car with police trying. However this was a SUV, and that car was a mustang. The SUV will FLIP at those speeds. The mustang will spin. The cop killed two PEOPLE. At the very least, The passenger had no right to die, no reason to die.
