There's no indication or reason this would be Google's fault. But the "it was a contractor" bit is still super lame, like it's a google emblazoned car, it's pretty clearly someone working for them, this emphasizing the contractual relationship cop-out seems dishonest to me.
Is this the first 360 deg 4K panoramic police chase in the world?
I wonder what radio signals the streetview car picked up whilst it was happening. Were they monitoring the cop radios?
Is this a stealth attempt to collect data at speed for some self driving vehicle project? Its not like this could have happened any other way.
Did someone hack the vehicle controls?
Is this an attempt to get data for a new games engine, to rival Grand Theft Auto or Need for Speed?
Was the driver having childhood flash backs to the Dukes of Hazzard?
So the driver said he was scared to stop. Well if google employees/contractors/ are scared to stop, what does that say about US police practices.
I wonder if this idea of police brutality will spread to other countries, considering the dominance of US social media. When will the first UK police chase occur where the driver says they were scared to stop?

Seems...reasonable?
At a minimum make cops have a 4 year education, like almost any other profession, make deescalation the main part you teach, fire any cop that has abused their power.
We give a lot of power to some people, they should have more responsibility.
What about on-the-job/in-career education? Does that count towards the total of a 4 year education.
It certainly exposes the mentality of those in charge, and how disposable they view certain forms of employment. And when looking at remembrance ceremony's and shrines, its interesting how little is required to placate and make some people feel good. Shiny metal, fancy colours, and an exclusive story.
Its almost feels like being treated like a pet, human style!
