Several examples of ASHP hitting their lights, subject vehicle making indications of pulling over (flashers, slowing down, heading to the next exit, NOT RUNNING), and getting PIT'd in under a minute.

Policy, training, culture.

Gotcha. Yeah that's fucking bonkers.

There is a middle ground here that should make sense to everyone but it obviously hasn't caught on yet.  200 mile high speed chases that puts everyone on the road in great danger are super dangerous and something needs to be done quickly to prevent that.  Don't care what you're running for, if you're running you aren't going to be allowed to put others at risk.  PIT'ng someone who you haven't established is actually running (moving up to next exit, clear indicators that you're not going to become an issue) and you move to PIT them, unsat.  

Some jurisdictions don't even allow pursuit anymore if the person is fleeing.  Have watched plenty of videos where the dude will run and cops won't chase or they have to hope the Highway patrol or other police/sheriffs can.

Hopefully enough sunlight is put on LEO entities and they adjust fire accordingly.  Do I want a LEO fully trained and qualified to PIT, yes.  Do I want them to apply it against only very dangerous types only, yes.

Right before he's fired, if that even is a possibility, he'll resign, then get hired by a different agency, stating he's never been fired from law enforcement.
