high speed police chase does not end well....

It seems more problems result when police pull over a car for whatever reason. I have yet to see any improvement in "public safety" from traffic stops.....

This one ended well. ******* murdered a cop and then fled. Lead cops on a high speed chase. Off duty cop nailed him and he went tippy tippy boom.

He eats the pavement at the 9:00 min mark

The moron took his hands off the handlebar at 130, 140 miles an hour.

The story is tragic, it's really unfortunate that the driver didn't realize his good fortune to have a wife and two children, and he acted that way and then ran. The officer probably did move a little too quickly for the spin them out maneuver.

There is some malignant scum in the world. Criminals on the run, on their way to victimizing their next victim.

In my opinion, it is never good to run from the po-po unless, of course, you have a supercharged dodge charger or triple horsepower corvette whose brakes, steering and drive train are in very good operating condition. You will need to know every inch of the roads you are traveling and have a CB radio to get updates. Even then, they can send up helicopters and put stop sticks out on the road to shred your tires......

For us regular people, best to pull over and listen to what officer friendly has to say. Be polite and if he wants to write a ticket, take the ticket and tell the officer "thank you".
