I mean it certainly by your logic it couldn't be the people in the other car breaking the law. There must have been something else they could have done. Well spiking them in heavy traffic is not an exact science but Kremi said it would work so how come it didn't?
I said earlier that in MY eyes the 17 after 60-some miles is an accomplice. That's MY opinion, bite me if you don't like it!
As far as life goes I care a lot but I care far less for those breaking the law and endangering other because of what amounts to their own selfishness.

Maybe when you grow up you'll understand but I doubt it!

This is all opinion, we need to both bite each other.
DUDE, you think that 17 yr old was breaking the law? You have some weird logic to me. I know that if I was driving there are many people that could TRY to stop me, but I could easily get them to stop, by hitting,etc. (Many could also stop me by hitting,etc.)
Like I said the cops weren't completely wrong. But in that 70 mile chase, they could have tried strips or something else. Did they keep doing that chase just hoping at some point the SUV would decide to stop? They should have tried something before then.
You really really have bad logic when you think because someone is in a vehicle they are a law breaker and should die. Sad thing is you're already grown up and have that logic.




I hate to bring this whole arguement back up but, if those Georgia Troopers would have used the spike strip on that Pathfinder, just given the height, size, and weight of it, when those tires shred after hitting the spikes that 100+ mph it was going would have instantly made it flip and roll down the interstate at a 100+ mph. and that would have still killed the 2 suspects and prolly would have taken out a couple of other vehicles. so either way those 2 were going to die since they didn't stop. i know i am adding to this post a couple of days late but i just read it today. and that is just my opinion of what would have happened.
