Anyone else see the cop trip and fall near the suspect's feet? Looked like he sprained a knee or ankle. Made me chuckle. EDIT: I guess so.
lmao that cop seriously just embarrassed himself on TV. Exciting stuff, car chases are the best television live. Those guys miscalculated everything, you will never run away from the cops once there is a copper over you and backup has all arrived. Your best bet when trying to bounce is immediately, before any backup arrives or there is any chopper. If the drivers would have taken off on foot at the start of the chase, they would have had a better chance.
Gotta watch that first step when trying to look like super badass cop by aggressively planting your knees onto the suspect's shoulder blades. Thats a rookie mistake there. I hope they identify the officer so we can bombard him with "get well" cards.

The guy fleeing is probably going to be charged with assaulting a cop because the clumsy cop tripped over the curb to be the 15th cop to jump on top of him.
