    You can see more and more of these police chases on youtube and most of the officers are just dipshits. There’s no reason to try to pursue someone at 130mph through traffic in your piece of crap Stellantis product when you have little chance of catching them and the only reason you’re engaging in the chase in the first place is male hubris.

      If the taxpayer didn’t want this to happen then he should have written in ‘No more police chases’ on his ballot back in November, but he chose not to.

        Whose ballot was that? Trump won, so you don’t refer to him. Democrats are in power now, so I guess it’s not them either.

            Is that wish granting ballot box at the end of a yellow brick road? If so you might want to ask for a brain.

            You… Table leg? Yeah, I’ll go with that.

              Sorry if English isn’t your first language, because you seem to be missing the point “he” from OP was referring to the hypothetical voter several words before that, not the inanimate ballot or recepticol for it, or a particular candidate… but you seem to be getting more offended and triggered by my response pointing this out which is more likely my original comment regarding your comprehension

                Not offended. Your comment was so stupid (I don’t recall anybody using “doorknob” outside of comedy in a long while) I thought you were just joking. I guess you are only trying to troll and don’t like I’m not getting down to your level, which is a bit sad I guess.

                  Here I was thinking you were trolling and the other guy was feeding you. There might be other trolling or sarcasm goimg on but I wouldn’t know anything about that.

    Officers saw the Mercedes cut through an alley but otherwise had no reasonable grounds to chase the vehicle, lawyers for the family alleged.

      I’m sure they thought they had reasonable grounds: impound fee kickbacks and civil forefeiture.
