Put me down on the side of The_Real_Hawkeye and KFWA, but with a nod to whoever the guy was who noted that it didn't look like the girl cop did anything particularly dangerous during the chase.
I was rootin' for the guy on the quad, and might have done the same thing had I the expertise and the ability. Would have gone off-road sooner, though, I think. I imagine you don't really need that much of a trail with one of those things, as long as you know the country well enough not to get blocked by a fence, and as long as you can get out of easy pistol range before the cop can get stopped and out of the car.

I made that observation and I'm sticking to it. She didn't appear to be putting anyone at risk and was in complete control during that incident. .

As long as we're making schit up, he was a meth head illegal rapist who just murdered a family of Quakers. Is it ok to pursue now?
How about this, ok, no pursuit. If the tard damages property, he's responsible for full restitution and some jail time and surrenders his DL and vehicle. If there is a fatality he gets life in prison, no parole, no second shot. Automatic, no plea bargain available.
Funniest outcome would have been to see that guy go face on into a tree.

According to Hawkeye, only "violent felons" "might" be ok to pursue.

Why didn't you pull over when lawfully ordered to do so? Because I feared my father more than the cop. Travis Should the cop have killed you?

It is possable that the cop clocked the ORV speeding which led to the chase. Or that she was specifically sitting there waiting for him, based on reported recent activities? She seemed ready to move quickly, and he immediately took to running. Naahhh, couldn't be... "He's such a niiiiice boy", says his mother from the porch to the TV cameras...

You should've been rooting for the cop, so that she could've tossed Speed Racer in the joint, and you could have another one to "rehabilitate"... Assuming of course that she missed with an entire high capacity mag of hollowpoints to his back...

No question. You seem to have had an extra cup of stupid with breakfast this morning, so I'll break it down for you. -Cop see law broken. -Cop have probable cause to make lawful stop. -Bad guy no want cop catch him. -Bad guy run. Cop chase. Watch a [bleep] cop movie some time. It's really not complicated. Travis

Travis Experience has taught me that there's no telling what a cop will do, especially if you don't know the context under which he's operating. So since you can't control what a cop will do, the objective is to have as much control as possible over what he can do. If he can shoot you through the trees, then he might choose to or he might choose not to. If he can't shoot you through the trees, then it doesn't matter what he chooses. It's the same logic that makes it a good idea not to talk to cops, even if you think you're clean. I imagine all that probably goes double for girl cops.

Very poor advise to give folks that aren't guilty of something, high/drunk, mentally unstable or just to stupid to have a simple dialog.
