police car chases

The United States Supreme court today heard a case which evolved out of a "police chase" of a motorist that ended when the police rammed the back of his car causing it to roll off the road. Anybody who has watched our "impressive" and highly "professional" cable news channels, CNN,MSNBC or FOX, has, on a occasion such as a slow news day, seen these chases played out. So why are we in the Supreme Court in this case? Because there is a victim in this case. Someone was injured, in fact was paralyzed and has been left to toil away the rest of their life in a wheelchair because of what they are claiming is another case of police brutality;ramming. The irony here is that the "victim" is the driver of the car that the police had chased. YES!!! HE WAS THE DRIVER OF THE CAR THAT,WAIT A MINUTE,OF THE CAR THAT REFUSED TO STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He refused to stop when being requested to so by the cops when they put on, what everybody in the universe recognizes, as those bright red flashing lights and flashing high beams. Instead our "victim" chose to put the "pedal to the metal" and take the police on a tour of that particular countryside. With speeds reported to been in excess of 90 mile per hour they chased this poor "victim"! So why are we in the Supreme Court,again? Oh, yes, police brutality, thats right, after all the police started it, thats why we name them "police chases". In fact every time the police do something in the line of duty, except die of course, we give their actions their name, aka "a police shooting" ," a police riot". Never is it our fault, the police started it all they went out that night looking to shoot to chase and mane or to run through the streets chasing people and causing them to set fires to cars and business, and to loot. Yep they are bad those police. Well let me state this as just one of my many frustrations. What do we want them to do? They get paid to serve and protect, this might shock you, US!! In this case they were doing their job. What if this driver had just committed a felony such as kidnapping a kid, a sport that has been very popular these days, witness the recent events in St. Louis and Fla. I ask you: How do the police know that the person they are trying to stop had not just done something bad? I'll tell you, WHEN HE OR SHE DOES NOT STOP!!!thats how. Yes they have to assume the worst because thats what they deal with everyday and what they are left to think when someone speeds off into the night. Its simple if the police want to stop you, you MUST STOP!!! Unless of course you are a felon or you had just realized that the pot roast is burning then by all means run but don't think you will be able to sue if the chase ends poorly for you. Hey maybe they can consider suing the news channels who feel compelled to air all in progress "police chases" as "breaking news"....hey maybe thats why people run they want their fifteen minutes of fame!!!! Come on Supreme Court send the right message here and keep us on the right road.
