Yes, just ignore people who flee from the police. The world would be so much better off if we'd just ignore the criminals. Better yet, why not just take the cars away from the police altogether. Had these children done what they were supposed to do they'd all be alive. Blaming the police for the conduct of lawbreakers is about as dumb a statement anyone can make.

That's an extreme scenerio you speak of in what should be done in a case like this - but of course you're just being sarcastic etc...

I strongly disagree that what happened was a justice or in anyway what should've been protocol for the police.

The thing is I've seen many police "chases" on tv etc (calif comes to mind) where the police keep a distance but follow the vehicle so that others (innocent bystanders, other drivers) aren't killed in some HotDog pursuit. And yes, I think the cops can overreact in situations like this esp.

In retrospect, this is not a good result in anyone's case - 7 teen deaths, and no doubt the police involved scarred/ruined for life.

I hope something comes of it in NC where this occurred where they have stricter protocol as to what to do in pursuit of a stolen vehicle so that so many lives are not lost or ruined.
