Michigan police defend 107 mph fatal chase that started over expired tabs
Warren’s police commissioner defended his department’s decision to pursue a fleeing vehicle for nearly three minutes the day after Christmas, ending in the 24-year-old suspect’s death.

The greatest irony of these high speed chases is they’re consistently the second highest cause of on the job deaths for police officers, every year.
They’re often dangerous to the public at large, the ones being chased, and the cops themselves. And yet LEOs bellyache about ‘no-chase’ policies until they get watered down.
And the fact that construction, transportation/material moving, and farm/fish/forestry workers all have fatal work injury rates higher than law enforcement.
Want more evidence cops are pussies? You know those viral videos where cops throw themselves to the ground because they’re dying of fentanyl exposure and 5 guys stick him with narcan?
It’s all fake. They’re literally pretending. That’s not even how fentanyl exposure works.
500 cops with body armor and long rifles were too scared to challenge one guy with a pistol in Uvalde. They can be beaten.
Just remember, 1/40~ deaths of all firearm deaths in the USA (including suicide) are from cops. They literally shoot and kill around 1,000 us citizens every single year.
Can’t even make them fill out a single page form to report a crime to a central federal database. Cause you know, maybe maintaining crime statistics could be useful?
Which one are you referring to as the second highest cause of death just automobile accidents?
on the job
Key point there. COVID and other likely preventable deaths from illness that may/not be job related, do cause a sizable number. But that’s not during the job in the same way the Department of Labor counts ‘on the job’ injuries, unless directly linked like asbestos or radiation exposure.
But I was more asking is crashes what you were referring to?
