I see a HUGE difference between a police officer chasing a suspect or rushing to get to the scene of a crime and a pair of helicopter pilots who failed to follow basic flight rules. Police officers or civilians in a street crash as a result of him zipping around I would be completely in favor of holding him responsible, as I see a very direct line of causation. Helicopter pilots are, theoretically, experts at what they do and they have THE ENTIRE SKY in which to avoid one another. I can imagine thousands of ways for crashes to happen because someone was recklessly tearing through a city on the streets. I can imagine basically no ways that helicopters could crash short of SERIOUS errors on behalf of the pilots.
