I remember a person who had their car stolen said that they went looking for their car and found it parked somewhere and notified police. Police told them to not touch the car and to wait for police to come but after many hours of waiting the car's owners gave up waiting for police and went home. They never saw their car again. Apparently a stolen car is not worth a police trip to pick it up but a few stolen bottles of liquor are worth a high speed chase going the wrong way on North America's busiest highways involving many police officers and vehicles. Some news reports said that 7 police cars were involved in the chase but one news report said that 20 police cars were involved in the chase with some police cars on both sides of the highway. Of course even the police cars on the right side of the highway risk public safety in a high speed chase. I wouldn't be surprised if the chase (which apparently lasted quite a while) cost more in gasoline and police car depreciation than the value of the stolen liquor or money. I wonder why only two police people are being investigated and not every single person involved in the chase. Don't expect the SIU to do much about it - police investigating police.

@user-oj8gj2bm6w Police aren't responsible for stolen cars? That's news to me. Whom are you going to call if your car is stolen?

@UpsidedownC Just thought that you would go out of your way to tell the world that you have disgusting racist and xenophobic attitudes and a twisted sense of humor? Bad idea. Next time you're thinking of going online to destroy your reputation, don't.

 @dan-iy5rs Your comment doesn't make any sense.

@UpsidedownC Couldn't manage to get through the day without displaying your racism and xenophobia? You really need to control that. Does your employer know your disturbing attitudes? Maybe someone should tell your employer about that.

@Jay-md6fk Actually no. Nobody would criticize police for stopping a high speed chase when the suspect started driving the wrong way on the highway. Calling ahead to have the highway blocked at some point is fine but chasing the suspect on the wrong side of the highway is far too dangerous. Every police car going the wrong way posed a significant threat to public safety. And no doubt as long as the driver knows he is being pursued he's going to drive faster.
