If the reckless disregard for public safety was not so disturbing the Keystone Cops aspects of this chase would be hilarious. Tunnel vision redux.

"People have to realize that law enforcement has a duty and that is to protect the citizens of this county," -Hamilton County Sheriff Simon Leis

"There could have been a person who was a hostage in that car. There could have been somebody who was murdered in the trunk of that car. You just don't know what the situation is."-Hamilton County Sheriff Leis
Or Osama, or D. B. Cooper or even Elvis.
