Watch a few episodes of Road Wars on Sky and you'll quickly realise that all sense seems to depart US cops when they start a car chase. It seems that the end justifies all means. They seem to be escalate into spectacular chases and manoeuvers that appear to have no respect for public safety. One can argue that it's the bad guys that start the situation.

You've just got to love the quote from the "aviation expert" they interview in the video:

"When the police realised he was heading towards the airport, the very least they should have done was shoot him in order to try and stop him!"

Jaysus, if that's that guy's idea of doing the "very least" to stop someone, I'd hate to see what his idea of taking stronger action is then!
