According to the video description one guy in the truck being chased was suspected of drug possession, suspected. So to endanger all those people on that road was justified? In my opinion, no. I believe if we looked up the FHPs policy on high speed pursuit if it becomes a danger to the public, and this clearly was, then they disengage. If my family members were on that road the biggest threat was from the FHP.
Did you see FHP at about 2:10? That was not a PIT attempt, that looked like Waltrip trying to put Dale into the wall. There were many close calls with citizens vehicles during that chase. The final successful PIT sent the FHPs car into another car. What if your family was in that car? Would you shake the troopers hand, thank him for keeping us safe, and pay for the damages to your car?
That chase was some crazy shit. They should have called it off.
Added, M2, I can't think of one of your posts that I've disagreed with. But this I do.
