=> 100-MPH Police Chase Ends In ...
"_ Prof. Jonez _" wrote: > PHOENIX -- A bank robbery suspect being chased by officers through several > Phoenix-area suburbs crashed into an oncoming car, killing at least two people. I am forever astonished that American police continue with high speed pursuits in situations where innocent bystanders will be subjected to serious risk. In Britain it's highly likely that the car would have been shadowed by a police helicopter, allowing the police cars to fall back slightly. This tends to result in lower speeds as the criminals tend not to be aware they are in fact under effective surveillance. Graham |

It doesn't surprise me at all. > In Britain it's highly likely that the car would have been shadowed by a police > helicopter, allowing the police cars to fall back slightly. But that would not make for good footage for the american (sic) news media. Plus, the cops probablly get a big rush out of it also. > This tends to result in lower speeds as the criminals tend not to be aware > they are in fact under effective surveillance. True, but then there would be no, "BREAKING NEWS," or, "THE BIG STORY," for the likes of Fox News etc... to show over and over.... -- For the benefit of the nsa, cia and other goon squadss: suitcase nuke mall cleveland allah comes alive at midnight george w bush antichrist incompetent boob warmonger anthrax ebola ecoli ecommerce etrade emortgage ebankrupt 911 inside job patriot act hates freedom wtc pulled fifty nine million americans dumb texas mexico return |

On the contrary. It's becoming common here for one of the TV news station copters to do the shadowing -- and broadcast it live. The only piece missing for that to happen in all parts of the US is for the police to be willing to back off once the copter starts following the bad guy -- and some police agencies have dummies in charge. I don't know if that's so in Phoenix, but it sure is in Los Angeles. |
