Police Pursuit Leads To Chain Reaction; Two Officers Injured, Motorcyclist Escapes

With all of the helicopters why don't they pursue them from above and call in the troops when they see them at the end?

Seems much safer for all involved!

In today's world no one really gets away. If the cops had the riders tag #, his picture on video cam, they can pick them up in the future. We've had a lot of similar accidents here in the Denver area and most of the time the cops could have delayed till later and innocent people were killed. I'm for banning chases except in extreme cases!

Accidents like this are the reason why many police departments around the country do not engage in high-speed chases unless they absolutely must.

Yes, blame the police Ikemmier. That is about the dumbest thing I have read this morning and completely disrespectful.

I have no idea what I am talking about but for the heck of it, ill make a guess and blame the police.

Was the motorcycle operator involved in a bank robbery, a shooting, was he a murder suspect or just speeding? Sounds to me that the "out of control" officer caused the accident while chasing a speeder and KILLED innocent people.......get his plate and back off!!! Wonder if it was worth it???
