He died in a vehicle crash - and you assume that he "wasn't trained very well?" "He killed his self [sic]?" You're saying that the troop intentionally crashed his car and took his own life? I've read some naive stuff before, but this is at the top of the list.

The sports car that was speeding was HIGHLY MODIFIED for racing, evidently the driver had experince driving FAST.
Therefore, the trooper should have recognized this, called off the chase, and let the violator continue down the road ... praying that the violator doesn't hit someone himself?

He didn't CRASH, and kill his self, or anyone else.
No, not this time, he didn't. Does this excuse his actions?

Agin this was a "well traveled two lane highway", on a friday evening! The Trooper could have very well have crashed into someone else and killed them.
Unfortunately, LEOs are sworn to uphold the law on a Friday evening, and a Sunday morning, and Tuesday afternoons. Troopers go through months of training to allow them to make split-second decisions in stressful situations. Were you in the car with the trooper? Do you know if the trooper was about to call off the chase? Or is it just easier to armchair quarterback his actions.

You've obviously made up your mind that the trooper was clearly in the wrong, and that the violator should be allowed to get away with the crime he committed. Go visit the forums on www.officer.com and ask this same question and see what kind of response that you get.

Also, the term is "himself" not "his self".
