"Yes, just ignore people who flee from the police. The world would be so much better off if we'd just ignore the criminals."

And herein lies the whole problem with our angry, fearful, dumbed down society today. Not all that long ago it would have been recognized by the law enforcement people involved that out of the whole car full of kids only ONE was breaking the law, the driver, and that the others may have have been quite innocent. The other kids would more than likely have been considered to be innocents in danger, and the police would have proceeded the persuit with caution, and with the use of radios and tried to avoid the unnessary deaths that occur so often today. I know being cop isn't an easy job, but they aren't using caution and discretion anymore when it comes to the citizens, and nobody seems to give a rap.

Again, You Lie. Nowhere, excvept possibly Mayberry RFD ever had a policy like that.
Now, as then, the other kids were recognized as what they were, accesories to a felony, or coconspirators in it.

This is classic leftist big lie nonsense.

I must conclude that you plan to vote for Dizzy Dean. Your posts are completely irrational. Those kids stole a car, were driving erratically at 12:30 a.m., ran when targeted.

The police did their job. Usually, I question police over-reaching; in this case, I think they were doing their job.

Prayers for the families. Truly sad.
