After reading all of these posts I can totally see where most of you are coming from, and I've changed my position on the matter.
If the pilots were not actually policemen (even if they were asked by the police to tail the carjacker), then they were essentially just bystanders who crashed because they weren't paying attention to their surroundings. There's no way a charge could stick in court for that reason.
I was chatting with my father (a lawyer) about this, and we came to the conclusion that only way the carjacker could possibly be held liable in these deaths is if one or more people aboard the choppers had been deputized prior to the incident (which I doubt they were). That would've officially made them law enforcement, which would've meant that they were performing their civic duty instead of just getting a story.
However you look at it, it was a very tragic event. I'm just glad that they didn't land on a building or something.
