now that i've been thinking about this for a while, it brought to mind something that really, really pisses me off:
the cops that pursue these dumbarses that run from them
i personally have known 2 people that have died as a result of being hit by a police car in a pointless car chase.
-one was an elderly lady who had pulled off the side of the road, only to be hit by a cop doing over 100 on a busy street chasing a 17 year old who had stole $17.53 worth of merchandise from Radio Shack.
-the other was a gentlemen that was hit by a cop who was chasing a woman who stole $10 worth of gas.
endangering hundreds of people's lives to try to catch someone who had stolen a couple of dollars. both of those specific instances, the cops had a personal description and a tag number. that is exactly the protection i want from our police
