It is shocking the amount of people who are injured each year during a police chase that had nothing to do with the victim. People are walking down the street, driving in their cars, or even sitting in their front yards and are dragged into a situation that can completely change their worlds forever. This is all because a police officer decided to chase down a criminal.
Yes, there are times when a police chase is warranted. If there is a maniac roaming the city, a police chase would be understandable. However, when a person is killed during a police chase of a teenager that stole a sports car, this is just not justified by any means.
When will police officers finally understand that the dangers of a police chase are much worse than the dangers that are caused by a teenager that is having some fun in a stolen sports car? We understand that police officers are there to protect us. However, it is important that police officers make the right choices during a pursuit.
This happens all too often. Innocent children are run over during a police chase. Innocent drivers are killed in car crashes. Innocent by-standers are taken as hostages because a police chase scared a criminal into doing a worse crime. Police officers have a dangerous job and are here to protect us. However, when someone is killed because of someone else’s minor crime, this is simply unjustifiable.
