Just because this particular chase didn’t go bad doesn’t make it a good thing or an argument for police chases. This both an exception to the rule and the best case scenario. Most chases don’t end like this. Most chases end with at least one person dead, usually the suspect. Remember, innocent until proven guilty. It’s not a good thing for cops to kill suspects that run.
Police selectively enforce laws all the time. Drug policy needs to change, but police don’t need to enforce it the way they do. Enforcement in the war on drugs is highly discriminatory, so it takes a joint effort between police not enforcing and politicians changing these laws for the change to happen.
You’re missing the point, and I’ve mentioned this before, the original post doesn’t say anything about how chasing in general is bad. It just lists this chase as an example of ‘bad cop’. But, this example by itself is anything but ‘bad cop’ unless your opinion is ‘any chase is bad, mmm’kay’ regardless of whether this one proves the opposite.
You and others keep bringing up other instances of extreme case scenarios, but none of that matters in this instance. If we want to discuss the merits of ‘chases are bad in general’ then this post needs to say that, and then should provide evidence supporting that instead of a case that does the entire opposite.
And, let me restate this for everyone’s benefit. I am only arguing that this example doesn’t support what the OP is trying to say. I am not arguing for or against anything else as it pertains to law enforcement and/or their practices.
Edit: earlier had this example in mind that I wanted to use to convey what I was getting at, and I just remembered it.
If you were browsing the NSFW subs and you saw an image of ‘generic naked girl standing upright with her tits out’ in the facedownassup, or however it’s spelled, sub… that image would still have tons of upvotes, because ‘NSFW must upvote bc tits’. But, it wouldn’t fit the spirit or the theme of the sub, and therefor would be out of place. Just as out of place as this post is in the ‘bad cop’ sub. It’s not a good example, sure you may have an opinion that ‘all chases are bad’ but this example is the ‘generic girl standing up showing her tits’ in a niche sub about BDSM, feet, assupfacedown, or whatever. Sure, tits, but not what the sub is for.
