Innocent Person Killed in Car Crash as Police Chase Reckless Driver

Police pursuits should be banned in Wisconsin.

Too often they end with innocent people killed or seriously injured because someone ran. It is far better for a suspect to get away temporarily than for a family to lose a loved one in a crash.

It is equally unacceptable for a suspect to accidentally kill themselves while running away. In time, they will be caught. Chasing is an unnecessary risk.

Police need to stop treating this like a game. When they choose to pursue, the lives of innocent bystanders are put at risk.
