Who told you the city has a no chase policy?
Dr. David Thomas, a former officer who is now a consultant and Professor of Forensic Studies at Florida Gulf Coast University, reviewed the surveillance video in the case and said he was "shocked" that an officer pursued 13-year-old Stanley Davis Jr.
BBPD says he was responding to observations of "reckless driving."
Thomas says under most police policies, that is not enough to justify a pursuit
"[Police] stopped pursuing for traffic violations years ago," Thomas told CBS12 News. "You just say no, it's not worth it.

@contenchess saidThen this is a matter of what constitutes "pursuit" because the cop car was clearly following the kid.
@vivify
From the video I saw it wasn't even a pursuit.
The kid took off and crashed.
It doesn't necessarily mean the cop is guilty of anything, but there are actions that certainly could've and maybe even should've been avoided.

@contenchess saidStrange, no?
Why didn't the kid stop and ask the officer what was wrong?
Oh...I forgot...he was black. 🙄
How often black kids end up
DOA after a ''routine,'' traffic stop.

Nothing strange about it.
They commit more crimes per capita.
They have a higher chance/percentage of committing a crime.
More likely to resist arrest.
Etc Etc.
Cops learn this by experience.
Ignoring that trait because you don't want to appear racist is your problem.
Look at Democrat cities that have broken the homicide records this year. What is the common denominator?
Obviously they are horrible at parenting 🤔

A study of nearly 100 million traffic stops from around the country has concluded that, on average, black drivers are 20% more likely to get pulled over than white drivers.
The Stanford University study analyzed 93 million traffic stops from 21 state patrol agencies and 29 municipal police departments between the years of 2001 and 2017.
Researchers then analyzed the traffic-stop data in relation to the number of people of driving age within each jurisdiction and controlled for demographics, gender, reasons for traffic stops and other factors to try to create the most standardized set of data possible.
The results, which reflect experiences that have long been shared by people of color, revealed an observable racial bias in both traffic stops and subsequent decisions to conduct vehicle searches.
“Relative to their share of the residential population, we find that black drivers are, on average, stopped more often than whites,” reads the study, released by the Stanford Computational Policy Lab and featuring data organized by the 'Stanford Open Policing Project.'

@jimm619 saidThey commit way more crimes per capita so why wouldn't they commit more traffic violations?
