I’m not a fan of (most) cops, but I agree. Even if they weren’t understaffed, I’m sure you’re not required to chase someone in dangerous conditions? I have no clue about that though.
But yes, body cam footage or something similar would be needed to confirm anything.
Only exception is m a y b e if you’re in Texas. But being in Texas probably means you’re an asshole already. J/k on that last part…but only half.
