Your post is just as ignorant as the post which you're addressing.
Personally I don't think it's funny that the officer was hurt, but it's entirely his own fault. Most police officers can handle their cars in a competent manner. If they cannot, they shouldn't engage in high speed pursuits.
I must admit however that I feel no love for roadside revenue collectors, especially those who sit at the side of a freeway at 2AM.

Yes. It is entirely the officer's fault that he got into the accident. Obviously, he could not handle his car, so he should be ridiculed and laughed at for attempting to catch someone who was entirely within their rights and abilities. For this reason, we should allow gross speeders to continue on uninhibited. Because, clearly, nothing bad happens when Cayennes go 100 MPH, but only when Crown Vics do.
In fact, why don't we continue down this line of "reasoning" (and I use this word lightly) and blame any firefighter who dies in a fire. Clearly it's his own fault for not being able to safely do his job. And lets not forget about those in military service. It's their fault for choosing to go into their job, right?

Please explain how my post was ignorant. Ignorance implies a lack of knowledge or an oversight. What exactly is it that I am unaware of? Please note that an opinion that differs from yours does not necessarily render someone ignorant. But I'm sure you already knew that.

"Where's a Firestone tire when you need one? "
Like I stated before, I didn't find it funny that the officer was injured so I don't see why you feel the need to ramble on and on...

Lets see... 3 tons of automotive stupidity barreling down the freeway at 150 FPS, and on top of that an officer is injured trying to apprehend the guy?

Now, before you get upset and say how he would not be going that fast in the first place if the guy had not run, I agree. BUT....and it is a J-Lo sized 'BUT'....there are numerous accidents you see in the news every year where a police officer gets adrenaline pumping and overly excited to the point they overdrive their abilities and end up causing more harm than good. When an officer STOPS a chase and quits, the person being chased typically slows as well, reducing the possibilities of an 'incident' happening.
