In the latest ruling highlighting the high bar on claims against police officers, the Texas Supreme Court decided a man whose vehicle was hit by a police cruiser can't sue the officer without proving he violated emergency response laws.

Deaths from police chases are at an all-time high. These pursuits and their sometimes fatal consequences have come into sharper focus in cities like Fort Worth. But the federal data is barely scratching the surface — it only accounts for chases that ended in a fatality.

Bullitt, a ground-breaking movie in 1968 not just for the car chase but for its gritty realistic feel. Steve McQueen's performance redefined the concept of the movie cop, and Bullitt redefined the cop movie. Great film.
