… Should have PIT them into an immovable object like a bridge abutment, tree, or power pole.

Justice would have been served.

Ah yes, the intentially unlawful killing of another human by the state. Murder.
You are so brilliant and original!
Should have just shot the 2 worthless losers they’re a waste of life
@Jon
I dont hear any “outrage” about the 34 homicides which have all ready occurred in Chicago in 2023 (25 days!).
.
Under the police powers granted by the State, law enforcement is allowed to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the general public. … That includes ending a high speed chase in a lawful manner.
.
In terms of a PIT, you are going to have to prove that their demise was intentional.
.
Hope the car was theirs and not stolen. Would be great if they still had the Rolex from the robbery and if a few guns get removed from the street as well given DA Becton’s catch and release philosophy.
Good job LE – now Becton keep them locked up!
small accident, misunderstanding in the driveway about who owns what….. as Joe says There’s no there there…
there is no 5300 block on crystal?
Probably a typo on the numbers on Crystal Ave. Maybe 2300 block.
