Bills, however, said he tried to stop the car only briefly, following it about 500 yards before it sped out of sight.

How many of you really believe the cop tried only "briefly" to stop the car? I wasn't there, but I truly believe they chased the car causing this accident. My opinion is that cops create deadly situations with their pursuit of what I would consider "non-life threatening" pursuits. How many times have traffic violations turned into pursuits resulting in deadly accidents? I've seen this happen many, many times.
I guess it's a fine line between chasing someone who is breaking the law and creating a situation where innocent people are killed caused by that pursuit. |
Sure let them all go. It was the criminals fault not the police. |
