Deadly Police Pursuit

Re “Car Chases Way Down, Police Say,” Aug. 20: How wonderful that the LAPD has a new policy regarding car chases. Perhaps Police Chief William J. Bratton can teach the California Highway Patrol a lesson. On Aug. 15, a young man named Aaron Keller was killed as a result of the CHP chasing a stolen car. Besides all the usual reasons for mourning his death, Aaron was one of the brightest and best teachers at Fairfax High School.

Those of us in education know how valuable good teachers are. Aaron’s enthusiasm and love for his profession and students will never be replaced. What car is worth this price?
