"How do we know she did that... oh that is right... because he was behind her DOING IT TOO. It is a capitol offense for her to do it and he should get a metal... right..."

He did his job. He did what he was supposed to do. He protected the citizens from a violent felon. That is what he was trained to do and the job he swore to do.

She chose to run when she was required by law to stop. She chose to drive at dangerous and excessive speeds in a residential area putting many lives at risk. She chose to assault him with a deadly weapon. She chose to continue to put lives at risk by not stopping. She made the choices that caused her death.

The LEO was reacting to her choices and doing what he was trained and required to do. He was protecting other citizens from her out of control, dangerous and immediate potentially lethal, ongoing actions.

It is his job to pursue and stop her in that situation, and she was required, by law and common sense, to stop in that situation. There is no equality of required responsibility of actions in this situation.

Cases like this are why more and more places are putting tight restraints on pursuit policies.
