Re: MC Chase ends in Death/Riot
High speed chases are dangerous to both the suspect and the police. Here in Oklahoma we lost a State Trooper a few years back during one which entered the west bound lanes of I-40. They were headed east.
The local, county and state policies have changed to not pursue in most cases.
My hats off to Benton Township Police Chief Jimmie Coburn for taking the action to stop this extreme risk to public safety. To bad the policy wasnt in place before this riders bad decision cost him his life.
