Except that it is always the better option. There is NO scenario where having two insane people running around in 2 ton vehicles is better than one. Let the person go, get a helicopter following him (it should be easy if he’s driving erratically) and apprehend when he inevitably stops. Police have resources besides sheer brute force, they should use THOSE rather than the gun and the police chase.
So you’re saying a police giving chase is always as dangerous a driver as someone drunk beyond their ears? And a 10 min chase ending in a crash is always worse than someone driving around for an hour potentially running over several times more people only to then crash either way?
Of course in most cases I agree brute force is not the correct option, but there are situations where it’s needed.
