Headline should read - stupid driver kills female passenger.

Before clicking the link, I had in my head 'the pursuit was called off moments before the incident'. Not exact on the wording, but it didn't disappoint.

FYI This is considered a ‘death in custody’.

Governments should fund the development of vehicle-disabling police / military drones. It could be made to deploy tyre spikes or even to set off a block of thermite to burn through the engine block. It could also be made launchable from a moving police vehicle.

This reads , as a woman following police , who are following someone else . So three groups . Back to schools for you .

You cannot blame the Police, they're doing their job.

At least they didn't hurt any innocent bystanders

In america they’ve got this great device that shoots out the front of the cop car and gets trapped around the rear tire of the car in front. Now we don’t want to be anymore like america but that thing could have stoped that car.

Charge the driver with manslaughter 👍
