You forgot the rest of the story.

Indiana picks up pursuit.

Suspect goes 64E to 265 to 65S, back to Louisville.

LMPD picks up pursuit.

Suspect goes 65S to 264E to Poplar Level to 264E to 65N, back to Indiana.

Indiana isn't in position to pick it back up.

LMPD continues to follow suspect 65N to Eastern Blvd back to 65S, off 65S to Clark Memorial Bridge.

Suspect stops when car loses brakes and slams a parked cruiser which was blocking the bridge so suspect doesn't kill one of the 50,000 Miranda fans strewn about Main St.

How many collisions could have occurred during this pursuit that crossed the water 4 times? Collisions that could have resulted in death or serious injury to the public and/or the police simply because we are only allowed to follow the suspect and not take any action to end the pursuit.

I guess it will take someone getting killed for the department to realize a couple damaged cruisers are worth saving lives and start training us to use the PIT. Oh wait, the lady getting killed during the pursuit in the third a few months ago didn't change anything... What's wrong with this place?
