LiveLeak.com - Raw Video: Police Officer Gets Shot in the Face, Pursues Fleeing Suspects
Ego? It's called finishing what you start. The ability to place handcuffs on the person who shot you is priceless. It will also assist in diminishing any PTSD that might creep up, it's closure. See, there is NOTHING certain in life or in our job. If that was me and I was still behind the suspect and able to continue but pulled out anyway only to find out they lost them, I would have a hard time forgiving myself. "It's an ego thing" suggests that she continued on only to satisfy some primal macho instinct...that is not the case. A warrior will say, "You shot me and I will not let you get away with that."I think its kindof wreckless with your own life (which contradicts her states reasoning to "go home safe at night" ) at the point when you know backup has taken over the pursuit and obviously he won't be getting away. I mean its her life. I do commend her attitude. It's an ego thing and I can sypothize.
NO SUCH THING AS AN EX MARINE SKYHAWK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got him for all you jarheads on here

of course you would, cause the shooter was just exercising his rights right?
Now, before you go full retard on ME, I'm not saying what she did was wrong. I admire it. I wish all of us could pull out that level of fortitude and guts and will to win. It's just when you put it in the context of "...wanna go home to my kids..." going to the hospital straight away would be a much better choice.
because some people think of others before they think of themselves
That doesn't explain how, IN THE CONTEXT OF GOING HOME TO HER KIDS, chasing the guy that just shot her in the face was a better decision.
