It turned out that neither Russell, 43, nor Williams, 30, were armed, but Russell led numerous police officers on a 22-mile chase -- sometimes at speeds above 100 mph -- before ramming a police car in a middle school parking lot in East Cleveland, police said.

Tragic, but moronic on the part of the driver. If they had convicted the cops, pursuit of armed criminal suspects would have ended. The thing that distinguishes US cops from cops in other countries is the extent to which American cops will put themselves in harm's way to apprehend suspects. For instance, in 2012, 4 British cops died in the line of duty. The American number was 133, or 33x the British number despite the fact that the US population is only 5x Britain's.

American police have no duty to pursue.

Only local departmental policy, and the teaching of "confrontation" in their academies.

Even if it takes 115 rounds to do it.
