I frankly believe that these chases would be cut short if police had the ability to shoot the bastards if they don't stop within one minute of the time they refuse to pull over. THAT would probably eliminate 99% of these reckless chases.

I agree with you. Recklessly speeding in a manner which presents a clear and present danger to the lives of innocents would justify the use of deadly force. If the perp KNEW that the police WOULD use deadly force to stop him, there would be fewer attempts to try to escape.

If a perp were pointing a gun in the direction of the general public, no one would complain if the cops put 100 bullets in his brain before he took another breath.

But if some perp points his car in the direction of the general public and steps on the gas threatening to kill everyone in his path, nobody would dare to shoot the b@$+@rd because....????

Well I don't know why they don't shoot the b@$+@rd. If they get a clear shot, they should be able to take it. Instead we are supposed to let them drive away unimpeded. It makes no sense at all.
