   It's sad, every once in awhile an innocent victim is injured or killed as a   
   result of a high-speed chase, and they put "safeguards" in place.   
      
   Such safeguards include BANNING high-speed chases, or requiring them to be   
   conducted only in certain zones of highway, or even require authorization to   
   be given first.   
      
   Then, another one happens, and no mention of the safeguards.   
      
   Do they appease the public for alittle while, and then drop the   
   restrictions?  Since when does "to protect and serve" involve only sometimes   
   worrying about high-speed chases around civilians at risk to life and limb?   
      
   We need these restrictions put into law, and enforced, not a switch they can   
   turn off when it suits them.  If you're really sorry for civilian deaths, do   
   something about it, instead of merely offering condolences and trying to do   
   better in the future.
