Do you think an arrest is worth a human life/human lives 2

I'm not talking about criminals who cops have it on good word that the suspect is going to murder people. I'm talking about criminals that have committed crimes such as theft, simple assault, traffic violations, etc...
I personally do not think it is right to put lives at risk for petty arrests, you can put out a warrant for the person and arrest them later when you're not risking other people's lives for the arrest, or if you don't know who the person is try and find out, but even if you can't find out I still don't think the arrest is worth human lives.
Examples:
Do you think a cop should be able to kill a person for evading arrests?
Do you think the police should endanger the lives of multiple innocent civilians by going on high speed pursuits of small-time criminals?

I don't think it's too bold of a stance to think a human life/lives are worth more than an arrest.
I got the joke though,

should the cops not shoot a suspect when their lives are put in danger? at what point does the life of a menace become more important than the lives of others?

it's not the police that do it, it's the suspect that's eluding the cops that puts those lives in danger
if the criminal act is so small time then why compound it to the point that it would require lethal measures to be used, why wouldnt they just pull over and allow the arrest instead of adding charges such as attempted murder or reckless endangerment because once they start fleeing, it becomes a far more serious problem because not only is the one suspect going to do it but most will because they already know the cops wont pursue

in canada they abandon the pursuit if it get to the point that civils are in danger, depending on the gravity of the crime.
in Cops I see high speed pursuit that mostly ends up in a crash for things like overspeeding or failing to stop

If a cops/bystanders life is in danger, in situations such as dealing with an armed violent person, I think cops/citizens should be able to use deadl force if necessary to protect themselves/others.

I understand that, but if the cops would just back off and put out a warrant instead of chasing them, which police and criminals are both well aware that high speed chases can be dangerous for all involved and bystanders, then no ones life would be in danger and then they could even likely make the arrest at a later time, without much incident.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, many criminals are stupid especially when they have a large amount of adrenaline floatingb around in their blood, or even moreso when this is coupled with drugs/alcohol.
if the person was in the right mindstate chances are they wouldn't have committed the crime to begin with, or at least they probably wouldn't try to evade an arrest and get a big time felony on their record instead of the small charge they would've got.
the cops can stay back and keep a heli on the vehicle if they really want, that is still way less dangerous then a high speed car chase, and the heli can watch the perp and radio the ground forces what he's doing and they can get him when the person stops.
Or like I already said, chances are, they already know who it is so they can just put out a multi-felon warrant on the guy and have the marshalls pick him up later.

If they were a little more competent, they would do it like the German police: Look where the person is going with a helicopter and once the person gets on the highway simply put a roadblock on it and wait till the person comes to you.

The problem may be that the cops don't know how dangerous the "criminal" is until the perp has been detained and the situation evaluated.
Science is working on a hindsight machine, I'll post pics when it's done.

seemingly unarmed... seemingly. even if they are unarmed it doesnt make someone not dangerous

If a cops/bystanders life is in danger, in situations such as dealing with an armed violent person, I think cops/citizens should be able to use deadl force if necessary to protect themselves/others.
you seem to misunderstand what being armed can consist of, we look at things such as knives, guns and even clubs as being dangerous weapons but for some reason you wish to overlook a vehicle as a weapon, no need to reload, it offers some protection to the driver and is every bit as fatal for the victims so when a driver plows through a busy intersection how is that any different that someone waving a gun around in a store

and what happens if the guy goes on to kill several people between the time the cops break off a pursuit and the time a warrant is issued. how many lives are saved then

You can say that, but at the end of the day it's the police officers fat finger squeezing the trigger.
