Just saying. There’s always two sides. The Post never mentioned the letter being revoked and all that.
Yes,there are two sides.If,by chance,the cop was wrong about the dead guy having been stealing then all bets are clearly off.If the cop acted in a wildly irresponsible fashion by chasing the guy that,too,would paint a different picture.But,for example,take that case in Midtown Manhattan a few weeks ago where a guy murdered his boss,was chased by the cops and shot dead.Several innocent civilians were hurt in that police gunfire.Under the law,the dead guy is responsible for the injuries suffered by innocent civilians.Same here...the guy stole...the cops tried to detain him...he fled...they chased...the cop car was damaged.The dead guy's responsible for that damage under the law.
