Default RE: Hauling A$$...

1 you can outrun a radio. Not often but yes it can be done. 2 stay focused on the big picture. Thats what law enforcment has to do. If they are in a car or a helicopter they must weigh out the risk as well as the finale result. Professionalism is the key. Training over adrenaline. I know we are all human and can make the wrong decissions when we don't check our emotions. But the same can be said for the guy who is running. He has decided not to use common sense. So law has to. In this video the helicopter did the right thing and they caught their man without killing anyone. Very professional and results that are to be commended. If its just a speeder and he getting out of control... back off and catch him in the air or just suck it up and let him go. Its not worth a life. But if hes a violent criminal then he has to be caught because of the future victims. So use what force is neccessary, but again from the air as much as is possible.
