In 2023, a report from the Police Executive Research Forum called for police to put the brakes on car chases unless a violent crime has been committed and the suspect poses an imminent threat.

I am new to the East Bay Times branch of Bay Area news. God bless it. You cover local news. You inform us of state news. You pull strong, relevant pieces from the Los Angeles Times and other papers. You still have comics. The op-ed by Mark Barabak should be read by all. I taught at California community colleges for 40 years and used good journalism as writing models, points of discussion and assignments.
