http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=f10_1220899399
I hate criticizing other cops for there actions, but all there tactics in this pursuit where pathetic, cop pitted himself, they where running into each others cars during the chase, and caused damage to many vehicles along the way. then when they got the car stopped, maybe one of the 50+ squad cars could of parked behind the subjects car Then at the end for the whole world to see they beat his *** with a large pig pile way it appears on camera.<>maybe they need to get some spike strips for there squads, somebody could of went in front and put them out>>>>>

Two people are in police custody following a dramatic chase Friday evening on Route 28 Pittsburgh that ended on the 31st Street Bridge.
John McCleavy, 36, of Pittsburgh, and 21-year-old Meghan Jaegar, from Ohio, were arrested after they fled from authorities while darting through rush hour traffic Friday.
"We just ended a lengthy vehicle pursuit that took place through multiple jurisdictions More..," Pittsburgh Police Sgt. James Vogel said. "During that pursuit, we managed to apprehend several actors – one of them in conjunction with a bank robbery."
It all began when the National City Bank in Banksville was robbed and led to a dramatic pursuit on Route 28.
Not only was the suspect's vehicle damaged, but so were several police cars. One cruiser flipped over on its roof but landed upright. Pittsburgh Police Chief Nate Harper says the lieutenant is in the hospital with minor injuries.
The suspect weaved between cars during the chase.
"When you hear sirens immediately pull over to your right and stop regardless of what side of the road you're on," Vogel said. "That's what it says in the law, that's what we expect you to do."
Witnesses say it appeared that police from various departments used a lot of force when subduing McCleavy on the 31st Street Bridge. Harper says he was combative and police tased him.

"I like cops, but this is the most unprofessional police department pursuit I have ever seen that took place within the last 10 years. These guys obviously did not receive proper driver training, no PIT maneuver training whatsoever, and it looked like they forgot the news helicopter was above them when they started beating the suspect's *** on camera.
You'd think these cops would have seen some police videos and realized that simply side-swiping the fleeing car does nothing but ruin a paint job. One cop flipped his own car by PITing himself on the suspect's car (they'll charge him for assault with a deadly weapon for that now) and at the end they were bumping into each other for no reason. Unbelievable how little training it looks like they've had. Maybe the city is doesn't have the budget for the training/"
