Well, here's my opinion, as if anybody cares.

1. We need to get the bad guys or there will be a crime wave like Reaper said.

2. Need to use more technology. The chases I see are a lot of times stolen cars. GPS, etc., should cause such a drop in insurance rates as to pay for the service.

3. More training for officers. Back when I was younger, the Texas Hiwghway Patrol had specialists. Trans Ams and Cobras, specially trained officers. Kind of Road Warrior, but it worked.

4. Make a law, you don't pull over for an emergency vehicle - 2 years no license. 2nd - 5 years, 3rd - take the bus for life.

5. You run from the law, even if you didn't do anything else, 5 years minimum mandatory.

6. Officer Billy Bob Jumpback from Podunk PD don't get to chase anybody. Only those Depts., with the training and resources to do so. The Coperators.

7. That's where I would start.

8. I agree with no more tv coverage also.

As for the case above, somebody needs to look very hard at the whole case. There's a pattern of behavior there. May be the officer, but also may be the administration or the environment or even the perpetrators. But there is a problem there.
