America's police forces don't just kill with their guns.
America's police forces don't just kill with their guns. They also kill with their cars, for nothing more than a minor traffic infraction.
In Colorado, I believe, they are not allowed to chase if the speeds hit 80 mph due to that being the "kill speed."
Besides, radio is faster than a car. Any car.

High speed pursuits kill hundreds of cops.
They kill thousands of suspects, and thousands of innocent bystanders who just happened to be there.
In only a tiny percent, are these people murderers or violent offenders - they often are facing minor traffic citations or arrests for insurance or registration infractions.
So why do we still do them?
Because cops find it fun, they are never at fault, and have nothing to lose.
