NPR: Chicago police will no longer be allowed to chase people on foot

Officers won't be allowed to chase people on foot if they suspect them of minor offenses such as parking violations, driving on suspended licenses or drinking alcohol in public. But they will still have discretion to chase people who they've determined are committing or about to commit crimes that post "an obvious threat to any person.

Flabbergasted there are so many people saying this is a bad idea.

Why the fukk should they be really chasing somebody chilling and drinking outside.

And even with the parking/driving shyt, even if you run, you're immediately traceable unless the car is also stolen.

Cops going to see everything as a minor offense now just to get out of doing they job.
