So elected official calls the police commissioner and says "hey stop letting all the crooks get away we look silly", and that gets passed all the way down the line without one single person saying, "why don't we just assess each situation and make an intelligent decision as to whether the potential outcomes justify the risks".
Sorry boss, what you're saying just doesn't make any sense.
Are you expecting the actions of elected officials to make sense?
And if you cared enough to pay attention, the rules around police pursuits do change frequently, moving backwards and forwards between permissive and restrictive of allowing chases.
No im expecting people who have spent a life time policing to be able to talk to elected officials.
