Moments after a high-speed chase ended on a Minneapolis playground last summer, seriously injuring two children, a state trooper said the pursuit was “so stupid” and that troopers “should have called it off a long time ago,” according to dash-camera video released Tuesday.
The trooper, who was being consoled by another state trooper when he made the comments, was told by a colleague to “stop talking,” according to the recording.
The State Patrol, which released more than 20 hours of video of the chase, did not address those comments at a press conference earlier in the day when Col. Matt Langer said the chase was justified and that the troopers acted within policy.
