This took a frustrated citizen, in his pick up truck, to end this pursuit after over 2 hours.
I find it amazing that police officers today have to just convoy after a fleeing perp and take a tour of the area. Watching that on AFN here in Afghanistan, all of us retired cops were ready to get sick. What an embarrassment for law enforcement on national and international news. We know that the cops had to follow their procedures and all, and that is what is wrong these days, these procedures. I could never imagine chasing a 10-16 car through NYC for over 2 hours. What a different era of policing these days. I feel for those cops, for I know every one of them would have loved to have ended that convoy within the first ten minutes.
We really have handcuffed our cops America.......
