I was about to lament how reckless the police were to be in a high-speed pursuit, but it's hard to fault them when this began with a fatal shooting of an officer at the beginning of the encounter.
Just a really sad turn of events.
- indrax 13y ago>there was a physical altercation between police and 26-year-old Gerardo Diego Ayala that ended with a fatal officer-involved shooting. That doesn't necessarily mean the officer was shot.
- guttermaw 13y agoIt was not. A man got out of the vehicle, the police shot him, and then the chase began. http://blogs.ocweekly.com/navelgazing/2013/05/santa_ana_pedestrian_police_ch.php?page=2 http://blogs.ocweekly.com/navelgazing/2013/05/santa_ana_pede... He died of his injuries. His name was Gerardo Diego Ayala.

- neotek 13y agoThe argument is that the police should never be involved in a high-speed chase because it threatens the safety of the general public and often ends in tragedy like this.
