What do you guys make of this?

I hear a lot of "got what he deserved" and "one less idiot on the road" etc.... I am really surprised by the amount of cynical, calloused a$$holes out there who think it's great that this kid was killed over a speeding ticket because he went 104 mph at 4am...
I mean, yeah the kid was in teh wrong, but the cop was RIGHT BEHIND him and clearly was close enough to get his plate... why continue the chase?
I guess I just feel unless they're chasing a violent felon, they shouldn't be chasing. Too risky for everyone.
Additionally, i'm pretty sure the cruiser was probably veered or swerved into the motorcycle's path ON PURPOSE... essentially murdering him because he was running from the cops... which obviously is an extremely stupid thing to do... but I didn't realize that made it so the cops could be judge, jury, and executioner... especially over a SPEEDING TICKET. I guess I"m just weird like that.
Discuss.
Oh yeah, also, MODS, if you feel this is too far off topic, feel free to nuke or move. THANKS!
