So failure to stop is a capital offense?

I would note that, if the argument is the cops need to kill a driver before the driver goes crazy and puts others in danger — well, I’ve rarely seen a case where the police successfully kill the driver while the driver is actually moving in a way that could endanger others.

Most of the time, like in this case, they first chase the driver at high speeds causing all sorts of risk, and only when they manage to get the car stopped do they jump out, rush the driver, and kill them.

“So failure to stop is a capital offense?”

Is that how you want to characterize his dangerous rampage, a mere “failure to stop”?

Is that all you would think of your wife/husband and children? A guy speeding down the road and running through red lights, bashing into your car or you bashing into his, a mere “failure to stop” for the cops?
