What is your opinion of high speed police chases? [View all]

A wife of an Atlanta Braves trainer was killed here Saturday night. (doesn't matter who she is, this could happen to anyone) She and her family were on their way to the Chik fil A Bowl in Atlanta--I have passed through this intersection numerous times; it is very busy. An officer was responding to a chase (another officer was already in pursuit) of a motorcycle that wouldn't pull over..or that is what the local news is reporting.

Officer runs through a red light at high speed on a city street before he can get to the highway, slams into a car and kills someone.

It's questionable whether his siren was on. BTW, it's not the first time this has happened here, and it won't be the last.

My opinion: Ban them!
