on police videos, its a BIG deal when a suspect crosses three lanes of oncoming traffic, but then nothing is said when the police do the same!
or when the suspect drives through someones backyard, the narrator says nothing about the cop driving through the same yard!
OR when the suspect nearly hits a pedestrian, STILL! nothing said about the cop coming withing inches of the same pedestrian......
those cop videos are so bias!!
dont you think thats funny? i do, cops NEVER do bad things like the suspects they pursuit......right.

my point was, cops are ALSO putting innocent bystanders in danger by chasing the suspect at such high speeds, driving on the wrong side of the road, and nearly hitting bystanders. ESPECIALLY if theyre chasing in flocks. yes, my point was that cops put just as many people in danger as the suspect him/herself.

In certain instances I agree.. When a cop chases a speeder at high rates of speed he is also endangering Innocent people.. When i see on these shows a group of cops standing around after a high speed chase and give high fives to each other I think what idiots to celebrate putting numerous lives in danger so you can celebrate a win..
On the other side when they are chasing a dangerous felon who if not left alone will create an even larger danger they are in the right..
So in all it depends on the situation and MOST of the time they have gone too far in the game of capture at all costs.
And the silly high fiving has to stop.. It not a game and they haven't won.

I don't think that the cops would be driving though backyards, crossing 3 lanes of traffic or nearly hitting a pedestrian if they weren't chasing some idiot that is running from the cops.

Okay - let's tell the police they can't take chances to pursue dangerous criminals. We'll certainly reduce the number of accidents that occur during chases, no doubt about it.
Oh, yes - and all the criminals will get away because they will know all they have to do is create a dangerous situation and the police will back off.
ALSO - the police don't choose which videos to show - the TV producers do.

cops are the ones protecting you from the potentially dangerous suspect who could be killing your friends and family. i notice but the cops job is to protect. the videos arent biased.

I haven't gotten hit by a cruiser in my backyard yet- I guess those officers aren't all that reckless.

...That makes no freaking sense. The cops have to catch the person they're chasing... They're doing their job.

Right on brother....and I personally don't need to be protected by crooked cops.....they can just go back to taking a nap in their car in the park...

You see it everyday. They make and live by their own rules.
Then say people who despise them are the criminals and trolls
