While for the most part, I find that police=organized crime, I’m with the cops on this one.
The kid was acting stupidly, but I wonder if the cops had heeded the two calls from dispatch and quit chasing him, would it have turned out differently?
In my opinion, the cops should be fired for endangering people like that in the first place. Didn't they have the presence of mind to let the kid drive off? Wait until he ran out of gas? He was hauling a trailer, for god's sake! The police escalated this, his blood is on their hands, and so would be the blood of any injured pedestrians. Those were individual men in those cop cars making stupid choices that endangered lives far more than the 19 year old kid mad at his pop because he wouldn't get him a pack of smokes.
Some people shouldn't be cops. These guys are prime examples. They should be run out of town on a rail. A wise law officer would have resolved this with zero violence and a little humane engenuity.
