This is misleading. This wasn't a random motorcycle rider speeding. This was a person who commited a crime (theft) trying to flee from the police. The police don't want us to think of it from that angle because then the secondary question needs to come up, is it safe for police to be engaging in pursuits with criminals on public highways in this manner.

They pursued him via helicopter. That was the safe way for them to do it.
