This please. I believe it’s coming from all of the lower end writers who don’t have editor in their title. Can we give them a chance to clean up their act, and if they don’t comply, drop them off at Jezebel, where they will flourish.

I would think you being anointed as “The Bike Guy” would be due to your hideously arrogant and tone-deaf take on police pursuits in cars...but in a just world that would’ve led to your release from employment here.

Move the office, or, hire remote workers. A bunch of millenials in New York city that are completely disconnected from the automotive world. NYC is not a haven for enthusiasts. Also, hire Steph and Kristen back with salaries they can actually live on.

Please do what you can to limit the politicization of this site.

This is a BS argument. Driving kids around is a necessity. It’s inherently risky and adding to the risk on a daily basis because you want to be in a funky old car is absolutely selfish. Apples to oranges comparing pleasure activities with necessary activities.

Had we actually been in a head-on collision, that 5,000 pound Tahoe or whatever it was would have absolutely mulched my 1,800 pound Pao. Sure, the SUV would have sustained a lot of damage, but with all the airbags and the mass advantage, it’s likely the people inside would have survived relatively unharmed, while…

Obviously, both the SUV and the Mustang were ghost cars from a horrible head-on collision that happened 20 years ago to-the-day.

I had this immediate question.  If the Mustang was so close so as to cause a rear-end collision, that he had to grass-ditch, it should have taken the SUV in the face (if it didn’t grass-ditch as well)

What gets me worried is less one guy writing crap that misses the point of the article entirely, it’s that’s 40+ people had to go ahead and star that.

It doesn’t matter because you won’t listen to it anyways.

Look, if we make them stop recklessly endangering the public with high speed car chases, what’ll be next?

It’s funny that you even need to ask, and ironic that your response has everything to do with police and nothing to do with the (typically violent, at least in Dallas) people breaking the law and running from the police.

Well so much for Jalopnik... this used to be an objective place with interesting automotive news and stories. We get it, the entire G/O media group is on the left and hammers visitors with progressive hot takes daily, but c’mon please keep Jalopnik free of garbage takes like this. Gizmodo was lost ages ago, but now J…

Lots of complaining for a guy who has commented 4 times in 4 years

So pull over and have your trial by a jury of your peers.

Geez...I usually saved this shitty of an opinion for the likes of Hamno, Drew or Chris Chan. Not that any of my opinions were wrong, they were just shitty. Yours is shitty AND wrong.

Damn thieves need to stop stealing my crap, while we’re at it.

I am firmly on the side of no chases unless the subject is an immediate danger to the public greater than the danger of chasing him. Which is probably 1% or less of them. Get his plate, let him go. Deal with it later when all involved have had a minute to chill the hell out.

It takes time to get a helo air borne and in position
