        It is well known that police chases far too often unnecessarily escalate situations, causing them to be more dangerous in the first place.

        How many police chases are for non-violent offenses?

        Simply not worth it from these largely untrained, out of control, trigger-happy, power-fetishists.

        Also a lot of police maneuvers go bad. Just because this one turned out okay doesn’t make this okay everywhere. They are lucky it didn’t snap or cause the car to careen off some other direction.
