We LIVE here- he is NOT exaggerating- we have a fucking law on the books (still trying to reeal) that states police CANNOT CHASE A PERP!
Yeah, I do too. And I disagree with that law, but did you know that Washington State had the highest number of deaths that happened due to shitty police driving during high speed chases for 10 years in a row? It wasn't even close. Number two was Alabama and it was more than half less that Washington. There was a huge campaign to fund police driving lessons so they didn't kill more than 100 civilians a year and injure almost 500 more every single year. That's an insane amount of innocent people dying while police chase people committing minor crimes.
The Washington republicans, which are basically liberals anywhere else, blocked legislation to fund pursuit classes for police drivers because they thought it cost too much, and instead they just banned cops from chasing people over property crime.
Police are still required to pursue any person who committed a violent crime.
So maybe know what is actually happening before you ramble on.
