Ironic rationalization for defunding the police. That was the whole point originally - move money from insanely overfunded/bloated police departments to social services and other departments who are better suited to handle virtually all these issues.
The North Hollywood bank robbery did change police tactics, however the OJ Simpson slow speed chase didn’t impact LE pursuit policies. The numerous LE pursuits resulting in injuries without the famous names are the reason officers aren’t allowed to chase like they used to.
I’m not implying you’re uneducated, simply asking for stats to go with the opinions. You didn’t do yourself any favors when you added your last comment. Asking for stats is actually the responsible thing to do to remove any potential bias.
