yes, they get training...... on an almost empty parking lot. But at speeds of 100 mph, conditions change so rapidly that by the time they MAY decide to do the PIT, then catch up to the suspect, conditions will have changed.
We all hate the fact that innocents can and do get hurt and its especially abhorrent when its done because somebody decided to try their luck in outrunning police pursuit but thats NOT the policemans fault....the responsibility lies squarely with the idiot that decided he cared more about escaping responsibility for a criminal act than they did for the innocent lives around them.
What SHOULD be done to these idiots that end up hurting or killing someone because they decided to run is an extremely elaborate ruse should be played upon them where they are told that a dear loved one of theirs was killed by another idiot trying to outrun the police, then lets see how they feel.
