Viper Alley - Dodge Viper Forum - View Single Post - High Speed Chase. 7 Kids Dead. Who to blame?

When I was a LEO we evaluated the charges against the offender and quickly ended pursuits if we only had traffic charges, to hopefully prevent what happened in this case from happening. If a pursuit lasts longer than 3 minutes the odds are someone will crash whether it be the perps or the Officer.

There is nothing that can be done other than stop the pursuit and have radio contact the next department about the offender.

Not having sympathy for the families of the dead is a harsh thing to say but being an armchair quarterback and never having faced the situation is easy.

What do kids know about life and how easy it is to die from bad decisions, not a thing.

A Parent burying their child is a horrible thing, no matter how death comes.
