I get that they have uses, but it is not a zero sum game. How many high speed chases do we have here? What are the stats about how cars drive when being chased by cops vs helis? Is establishing perimeters and road blocks safer? How much do alternatives cost vs a heli?

I guy I went to high school with, Matt Hershel, died as a result of a high speed chase in Baltimore. He was walking on a sidewalk. They used to happen almost daily.

Sorry to hear that. There was a video of a pedestrian being killed just the other day by a high-speed driver plowing into the sidewalk.

It happens a lot.

I am sorry to hear that, but anecdotal evidence is exactly what we should not be looking for here.
