This sucks. Bad guy 2, police 0, media -2+

Two television news helicopters collided Friday and crashed while covering a
police pursuit. Both helicopters went down in a park and were on fire. There
was no immediate word on the fate of those aboard.

It is FAR past time for the media to stop covering these chases by chasing and
filming them in their helicopters. The public can do without it. It does no
good to stop the criminal behavior.

As a matter of fact, there is good evidence that some of the chases happen, so
the runner will have a chance to get on TV.

Don't get me wrong. I feel for the people and friends of those that crashed.

This is one circus we can do without. There is no benefit, only risk; needless
risk - it was bound to happen sooner or later. Media and police need to make an
agreement that they will not film these chases anymore.
