My husband was almost killed by a man fleeing cops in a chase. It was in December 2005. The chase began when a city cop randomly ran a tag on a car and it didn’t match the car. He tried to pull the guy over but he sped off and a chase ensued involving city, county and highway patrol. They reached speeds of 125 mph on city streets and interstate. The guy went around a blind curve doing about 85 and hit my husband head-on. My husband was just driving home from work at about 11 pm. My husband is in a wheelchair and will be until he dies. The guy being chased wasn’t drunk or on drugs - just scared. Wasn’t even his car - belonged to a friend. He had some bumps and bruises but didn’t even spend the night in the hospital. Chases for stupid reasons injure and kill a lot of innocent people. I’m not too fond of cops.

At the risk of having my house raided, I endorse what you say. Way too many cops think that they are entitled to push the peasantry around (or worse). Aggressive punks with badges, that describes a substantial percentage of them.
