I doubt seriously that the chase required 7 agencies' vehicles. That's ridiculous. You need 14 to 20 cops chasing one vehicle? 10 ain't enough?

I hate it for the family of the killed deputy but there has to be a better way.

It's messed up. I don't think the other cop should get a pass, it would be involuntary manslaughter for anyone else. There was no need to have all those cops from all those different depts that can't communicate with each other in a high speed chase. They need to re-evaluate their policies

I’m going to go out on a limb and say it was lack of training.

He was also trying to keep up with cars that are waaayyyyy faster than his.

Did they catch the car?

Lanett,Ala is a very small town just across state lines (railroad tracks) from West Point, Ga. They should have never even involved themselves in this matter

What is the difference in a high speed chase and an active shooter? Both are highly dangerous with no regard for innocent lives. I see no difference, and don’t see why they are treated any different when stopping them. Bonnie and Clyde treatment is a better solution, IMO.

So sad for this officer and his family. My prayers are with them.
