They're not allowed to chase people, what did you expect him to do?

Lol what? The offending vehicle wasn’t speeding off like one of those dirt bike gangs, it was an asshole commuter that had to stop at the next light anyways. Cop could have easily drove like 30 seconds, flashed the lights and pulled the guy over. It was the lack of any effort whatsoever that annoyed me.

This is an issue with the perpetrator, not the officer. What most people don't understand about LEOs is that they're assigned to specific duties/posts or they may be responding to another call that's more serious.

More than likely, this was the case; it makes sense to go to a home invasion or assault, rather than stop on the way for a MVC. LEOs do not always activate their lights or sirens when attending to a call.

Without law enforcement, we'd be doomed.
