The reason regular cops no longer engage in high speed chases is that it’s dangerous (deadly) for public (and property) regardless of who caused the crash
Well in our case its because it was part of the consent decree but this was not a high speed chase. And I will take the risk of a car crash to chase a violent offender - its not like our roads are at all safe to begin with. If these crashes happen to yield a bunch of guns and arrests, then OK with me.
Anyway if cops using their vehicles to box in a stolen car at a red light is too much, then there's not much left to talk about - we're in "defund the police!" territory at that point.
