Would you not crucify the cops for NOT pursuing the suspect? Isn't that exactly what the cops in Uvalde are in trouble for? Not acting when they had the opportunity...waiting...then a bunch of innocents are dead.
There is definitely a hard decision to be made to avoid unnecessary death of suspects, but honestly, if it results in more deaths of innocent bystanders then I'm not at all for it.

most every one of these shootings hasnt involved anything more than a traffic violation and an old bench warrant so minor that the cops didnt bother to go get the guy at his house, non payment of a fine, simple possesion or a minor assault, there is no real downside to risking the 'perp' getting away as these are just ordinary black guys in a country where 1/3rd of black guys are getting arrested for stuff they would never bother a white kid with.
They could actually just let them drive away with no real risk to the community, they definatly could just pursue them at a distance until they blew a tire or just ran out of steam, the way the cops do in every other country in the world, you cant set police procedure based on the idea that every body that is black you interact with is either Hannibal Lector or Baby Faced Nelson (who were both white ironically)
