2 Florida Deputies Killed in Car Chase | New York Times

Statistics on car chases are unequivocal: they cause far more havoc and damage than serve justice. In fact, they don’t serve justice at all. Suspects, who are clearly not bright people, are easily traced through records and apprehended at home. It will be interesting to see how this remarkable tragedy will affect policy.

One wonders why American policy is invariably born of tragedy at all.
