Santa Maria cops have to be the most incompetent cops in the world!

I doubt that is true. What is more likely is that the gang problem is so massive, that it would be impossible to chase every single gangster that runs. It is simply too much of a danger to chase everyone down due to the large propensity of danger to the general public. I knew a family in Los Angeles that had their 2 children (ages 3 & 6) killed by a police car during a high speed chase, Not only was there that tragic aspect to it, but the lawsuit against the department was a massive settlement. Why chase, when you can just pick them up later? It is not like the guy is going to skip off to Yale or Harvard or anything….
