Nope. The chase begins and ends with the actions of the perpetrator. She chose to make a run for it. She chose to continue the chase, by continuing to run. She could've deescalated the situation at any time, by simply pulling over. She, and only she is responsible for any damage, death, or injury that results from the chase. I pay the police to enforce the law. If that means they have to chase down the occasional fleeing felon....then so be it. All, and I do mean all, liability from any damages that result from such chases need to rest soley on perpetrator.
And don't give me any crap about shooting out the tires. It's neither practical, nor feasable. Hollywood bears little resemblance to real life.
