You'd think the Police would know better than to get involved in a dangerous pursuit over a minor infraction. I know that usually they don't end this bad, as most end with the out of breath suspect collapsing from exhaustion, or at most getting a few scrapes from being tackled, but hey.
Guess it's just another "Pursuit" death to be laid at the feet of "The Police"....
