Surgcric-
You name two horrific instances. In one, a trooper was traveling at to high a rate of speed for his circumstances and was killed. It was his fault. Tragic.... a waste... but still his fault.

The other is tragic but again the trooper was following at a higher rate of speed than was considered safe. I am in favor of protecting those that serve from frivolous lawsuits... immunity for any action I am not.

I don't think anyone is arguing that the cops should chase at the maximum speed possible for their vehicle in all instances. It shoudl be left to the judgement of TRAINED officers as to its feasibility. Maybe we have a training problem that needs to be addressed. Also, guidelines should be set and reevavluated constantly using advances in technology and equipment available to apprehend these dirt bags.
