So, any word on what the target of the chase was believed to have done(or still actively been doing)?
Unless the perp is making a getaway with some hostages; or on the way to carry out their next hit or something, I’d be inclined to say that every motorist in the area has a distinct right to be Most Displeased with the PD’s cost benefit analysis.
It looks like disaster was avoided; but definitely more by luck than judgement.
