The anti-police Austin buzzards are circling ...Officers are allowed to pursue suspected drunken drivers. Not letting them do so is an “invitation to chaos,” Acevedo said. “Imagine a policy where drunk drivers in this city knew, ‘Hey, if I run, they’ll never chase me. I’ll get away.’”

APD never started a pursuit until he started running people over... then there is no reason to not chase him since he was a dangerous violent fleeing felon that was injuring normal peeps. Prior to that he had stopped, evaded and the officer was still trying to catch back up. Of course the APD haters in the Statesman are not smart enough to get that.
