Guilty!!! Guilty!!!
All the innocent people? What happened to a presumption of innocent until PROVEN guilty? Yes, he was convicted. But at the time, based on the Constitution, he was still presumed innocent of any crime he may have commited. Please stop using the word "innocent" when describing his actions in regards to other people on the roads.
And there are a lot of 'ifs' in everyone's arguments. If he had hit someone, yes, I would think he needs to go to jail for vehicular assault. Would he need to be run over by a police officer? No. That in itself is vehicular assault. Running a car off the road is one thing. Running a motorcycle off is another. Get his tags. Arrest him (or the owner if it's not him until he's given up) at a later time. High speed pursuits are dangerous to the *suspect*, the police, and the general public. I'm sure it was on here that we had this same debate when a county sherrif was killed attempting to chase someone down on a Busa. And yes, the officer whose car is in the video was involved in a high speed pursuit, regardless of whether he was crawling out or doing 100+ behind the motorcycle. He was involved.
