Article in today's ND has describes several acts of stupidity:
LE saw a 2015 Nissan fail to stop at stop sign and attempted to pull it over. The car was stolen (violation of one crime at a time rule).
The cop gave chase. Note that from the article it appears that at this point the cop didn't know it was stolen as the original plates were switched. So cop was chasing an obviously high level, high risk to the public criminal, i.e., someone who ran a stop sign.
Cop noticed that car was erratically which indicated to the cop that the driven may have been under the influence — yet the cop still found it wise to continue a high speed chase of someone apparently under the influence.
Note to LE: radio can be used to set up road blocks etc, instead of chasing someone apparently under the influence involved in a high speed chase thru a populated area like Long Island.
Car crashes into a couple returning home from dinner, ages 74 and 71, married 50 years. Also a passage in Nissan also killed.
Too bad for the people killed but at least the cop can now arrest guy driving the Nissan.
