The fleeing vehicle was not speeding? It was going 65 mph through a neighborhood whose speed limit is 25 mph. Not only were they tossing pot out the window like it was candy, but they also threw a loaded handgun out the window. Maybe the totally and completely UNBIASED (haha) media "edited" that part out. The idiots had just stolen drugs & money from other drug dealers and were trying to outrun them BECAUSE THEY WERE BEING SHOT AT. Why do you think the original officer was trying to stop them? Because it was 1 a.m. and they weren't speeding and they were using their turn signals?
I can't and won't say anything about Officer Matthews and whether his speed was appropriate or not, but I just thought you might like to know what kind of sleezebags were being stopped. Not just some high school kids with a little weed. And it could have been anyone's neighborhood.
Where did you get your information?
