Are there times when force is required to detain a criminal? Yes, otherwise police wouldn't have any recourse to capture potentially dangerous criminals other than hoping to catch them by surprise or holding them at gunpoint (which I think anyone would agree is a recipe for disaster, even beyond the potential for violence inherent in physical restraint). Some people just aren't going to come along quietly.

Instead, police training needs to refocus on serving the community, rather than catching criminals. Step one would probably be to ban high speed chases without direct approval from a superior. High speed chases have the potential to cause huge amounts of property damage and tragic lose of life for both parties or civilians. A police officer in the heat of the moment, who has been stopping traffic for the last 6 hours with no excitement, and finally given a chance for glory isn't in the frame of mind to make that decision rationally. And of course that leaves out the PR disasters that have come out of chases. The L.A race riots and Florida race riots over Arthur McDuffie's death in 1980 were both the direct result of high speed chases leading to poor decision making by police officers.

I also think it is a mistake to assume that police officers would act differently (other than to not begin the chase in the first place which happens while they are still thinking clearly) if they knew the potential consequences. In life or death split second decisions no one is thinking about whether they are going to be in trouble afterwards, and humans have a very difficult time discerning when those situations actually stop. I'd be very surprised if the proticall for the officers in that clip was to not remain in the police car and assess the situations before making the arrest. That didn't happen because none of the officers were capable of thinking of line 143 in code 52C. They were acting based on the functioning portions of their brains and telling those parts of the brain "If you go out there and break that guy's arm, you will go to jail for 5-10" isn't going to change the fact that the cop still sees him as a potentially dangerous criminal who needs to be neutralized.
