its going to get worse in Chicago
from secondcity:

Chases are Over
Predicted here by so many readers over the years, it’s finally coming true:
Before a crash involving police killed a woman in Lake View on Wednesday night, Chicago Police radio traffic indicates the officers had been told to stop pursuing a fleeing suspect.

Officers were told at least four times to terminate the pursuit, according to the radio traffic. Mayor Lori Lightfoot and Chicago Police Supt. David Brown declined to discuss any specifics of the pursuit during a news conference Thursday.

In light of that crash, Lightfoot said more changes will soon come to CPD’s policy on pursuits.
Word coming in that the change is going to be “No Chasing.” Ever. Period.Chase and you will be fired.

We’re going to go out on a limb and predict a rise in drive-bys along with shootings where the offender jumps into a waiting car to flee. Because if we can’t chase for the most serious of offenses, then the offenders are going to do exactly what it takes to get away every single time.

Today, every time I see one of these stories I think of Thomas Girardi's (of Erin Brockovitch fame) wife who is also a mother of a cop.

And I sing her song

Erika Jayne- How Many F****?

None, not one, zero, zero, zero, done

Always amused me that a hot shot lawyer would be accepting of her unusual career and lifestyle

I wonder if anybody will be alive in Chicago, next year at this time.
