I have to wonder what these people did to warrant such a dangerous chase.

I saw reporting that they did nothing, the guy got spooked and ran even though he had a valid license and registration. He would’ve been let go, except he caused a chase.

That is stupid as shit. Could've killed someone over nothing.

The problem is, you don't often find out why they're running until you catch them. He could have been wanted for murder for all we know.

I'm sorry but that's bullshit. Unless they are actively suspected for committing a serious crime, there's no way this chase is justified.

It's not worth risking the lives of innocent bystanders just because some unknown individual didn't stop.

So the law depends on how fast you can evade capture. Good luck with that.

I mean, yeah. Literally.

Is it worth nearly killing several people to catch someone who's done "something"?

In many countries this is considered to be irresponsible on the police's part. Society isn't an 80s American cop show.
