I’m not sure how the chase got out of Miami. Coral Gables to the highway is most often gridlocked or nearly gridlocked from mid-afternoon through rush hour so unless they were going over sidewalks or plowing through cars I can’t imagine how they even made it to the highway. Even once on the highway, it is packed from Miami all the way to the area it eventually stopped. (It is highly unlikely there would be any places without civilians on this ride BTW.)

I also think, however, this was a no-win situation for the police. Without saying I agree with how they handled it, imagine if they instead did not give chase and the hostage got shot it the head while the criminals remained on the loose on a shooting rampage. The police would also be second-guessed in that scenario. Again, not suggesting giving chase into a crowded highway and engaging in a shoot out was the right answer.

Anyway it is under investigation so I’m sure we’ll be hearing more about it over the next year or so.
