What possible reason would these people have for running from the police? Think about that one. Why would ANYONE run from the police if they're being pulled over for a minor infraction? Because there's something else going on, that's why.
*At least one person in the car* was guilty of something other than a minor traffic violation.
Quit your whining that you're giving facts and nobody agrees with you. There's a reason- your facts have absolutely NO bearing on the case here. You've cited that one police dept's policies state one thing. But, you're not following local PD policy once you're on a state road. You're in state jurisdiction, so, the local PD policy is completely useless.
The ONLY fact is this- they used reasonable force to stop a dangerous situation. It had unfortunately fatal consequences for the f'ing morons who decided to run.
