People that run from the Police should have an automatic 10 year prison sentence added onto the penalty for the other crime(s) they committed.
I think the cop was the better driver. Unlike the low life POS he was chasing, the cop used caution at intersections and around other traffic, while the loser just sped through with no regard for others.
More than once, I've seen the local Police (city, county and/or state) stop a high speed chase with the PIT maneuver. One was last summer on the freeway that runs past my house. I heard all the sirens and got curious so went to look just in time to see a State Patrol spin the low life's car around and more or less parallel park it (backwards) against the rail. Within seconds four squad cars had him boxed in. Textbook is how I'd describe it. When the cops got out of their cars with weapon's drawn, I decided it was time to go around to the backyard, just in case.
Worse is losers that run from the cops and kill people. A few years ago in downtown Wausau, a city cop spotted a stolen car and soon as he hit the siren, the car took off full bore towards an intersection where they t-boned a mini-van with a mother and 2 children inside. Nobody in the mini-van survived. Last I know, that person was serving life in prison now.
