I'm not so sure every LEO in the U.S. is trained in best practices pursuit and box in tactics.

Please elaborate on your experience in these situations. I especially would like to hear you describe the physiological effects you feel like the cop in pursuit. I'd also ask what training do you have in the "box in tactics" you mention? How many hours? Where was the course(s)? And how many successful "box in tactics" have you conducted?

As a whole they are not! It causes injuries and/or death at a rate that is difficult to justify.
Shoulda shot the perp. Had many chances in the field. Or at the very least, shot out the tires.
But its fine to blow through lights and stops signs at high rates of speed .
reread my post ! the tahoe could have spun him out in the field and ended it early .
And they could have boxed him in and stopped it there as well they were barely moving at that point.
I never mentioned boxing in on the road .
Sounds like you have had some bad experience with this biscut sorry but don't attack me.
Was he a felon or a speeder? You can't shoot people for traffic infractions.

Should have ended in the farm field. It appeared non of the pursuers would commit. No disrespect.
Fixed it for you.
When I read the title I was hoping to see something like this...
The PO could have done the same (killed people blasting through stop signs). A few years ago a young PO in a neighboring town flipped his SUV and died chasing a speeder (this town is known for it's 'speed traps'). I'm just pointing out that 'risk/reward' needs to be taken into account. I'm very pro police but too many departments have become 'revenue' tools IMO...

Adding it's fine to blow through stop signs at a high rate of speed is dander on the floor. Completely irrelevant to what I said. I did re-read your post and I assert the question again. What is your experience to say what you did? Any?
I'm making an assumption that you have never been the cop behind the wheel in a situation like this and you have spoken without knowing much on the subject matter. The cops have specific rules they are obliged to follow and certain permissions have to be given by a boss before any potential action is taken, ie pit. Bad guy has no rules to follow and no boss to answer to. When you listen to a single cop in a patrol car "call the ball" in such a calm and precise demeanor, don't let it foo you. Inside is a volcano erupting as in most instances you have no idea if Mr. Bad is taking the actions he is running from homicide or a traffic ticket.
You take your 7500 lb Tahoe and pit the 2800 lb Corolla. Corolla flips occupants die. Mr. Bad was running because he has a suspended license. A violation here in NY. Not even a "crime." Now you are the big bad cop who killed a guy with YOUR oversized, overweight vehicle over a traffic ticket?
I've been blessed with my experiences. I am not attacking you I am attacking your argument.

Can't answer to each state specifically, he would be guilty of a Penal Law reckless driving in NY. Not a felony.
