I know Nitro did (Lord do I hate Millar's depiction of the Warriors, much less defending it), but the Warriors pretty much screwed up from the word go.
They were doing it for ratings, they allowed themselves to be seen and failed to control the situation. The Warriors...sigh...hold a good deal of responsibility for what happened. It can't all be blamed on Nitro. Law enforcement, naturally, is held to a higher standard of conduct than criminals, and always should be.
That's why there are rules with police chases these days. Because risking dozens of lives trying to catch a guy who might have only stolen a radio simply isn't worth it.
