LAPD keeps high speed pursuits despite boy's death in Long Beach
LAPD Assistant Vice Chief Daryl Gates on Wednesday said the department is unlikely to change high speed pursuit policy after an 8 year old boy was struck and killed outside a Long Beach market. The driver, David Ramirez, 21, of Baldwin Park, faced possible manslaughter charges. Gates noted pursuit statistics showing low accident rates and said chases are started by fleeing drivers.
