I realize that MM quarterbacking is horrible, especially on this topic with the added negative of no real footage. That said, what do you think could have been done better knowing the information you have vs. your experience. |
Our department basically terminated every pursuit almost immediately the feeling being that that carnage resulting wasn't worth the offence that had been committed. There was always another day to catch the client. Although some such as this were generally continued, the hostage really is a big factor. Perhaps they could've backed off a bit to keep speed down, but I honestly hate to second guess a situation that I wasn't involved in and am not fully briefed on the actual facts, evidence and officers and witness statements.
This is a situation that is excellent for a police helicopter, I don't know if one was available. We didn't have one in my dept because the left leaners thought it was too expensive.
