How could a cop pit someone at 100+mph and not expect them to die. They may have been doing their job but there are much safer ways to slow someone down.
I wont be running from the cops in Georgia any time soon.
That was pretty bad! Probably the best thing someone could do in that situation is DON'T RUN FROM THE COPS! If you want to gamble with your life be prepared to lose. It's that simple! Should they have offered Krispy Kremes instead or continue to chase them and hope they hit a big truck instead of car full of people?

Yeah BUT they couldda used spiked strips. Come on, they know going that fast, a pit manaveur on any vehicle but especially a SUV is most likely gonna result in someone's death.

Did you happen to notice ALL the other traffic? 3 lanes + 2 wide shoulders = kinda hard to put down spike strips. 60+ miles should give you enough time to think about the consequences of your actions. Guess she thought wrong.

Well they said they left the bar right after 12:00 and he was still "visually inebriated" when the police came to his house at around 8:30 am  .

Ahahahahaha I'm sorry guys, but that's hilarious. His friend had his head out the window and got it whacked off, and he just keeps on driving like nothing happened. They got what was coming to them, shouldn't drive drunk (or ride with a drunk driver).

You happen to notice they found a spot to do the pit manaveur? Couldn't have found a spot for spike strips in 70 miles? Righhht. And you know they keep em on a rope so they can easily slide them out and back in once they do their job. And do you think the 17yr old passenger deserved to die because of the driver's choice?

Let me see if I can break it down so even you can understand. What amounts to a 50 foot wide road, heavy traffic and a suspect running at 100+ mph. They can stop the traffic behind them but they can very well stop the traffic in front of them without risking lives. There's a lot of variable in that. The found an opening after 60 miles.(60 f'ing mile! Hello?) She wasn't going to stop! More than likely someone was going to get hurt! That's why they did what they did.
As for the passenger if I'm him after about 10 minutes of this chase I'm reaching over and turning off the key. By continuing to "go along for the ride" shows complicity on his part in my eyes! A heavy price was payed I admit but that's where your brain comes in handy!
