Oculus VR Co-founder Andrew Reisse Killed in Police Chase

RIP.
A note to the editorial team: "killed in police chase" unfairly makes it sound like he was the one being chased. "by police chase" would at least be slightly better.

heres hoping for the criminals to be killed in the prison system.

A bright genius taken from the world, but 3 idiot gangbangers get to keep living on.

Very unfortunate. :_-( I do not know Mr. Andrew Reisse, but anyone that contribute's to the technology industry (which I enjoy very much) I am greatly saddened. I hope that Mr. Reisse can continue his hard work in a place where he doesn't have to worry about violence and crime. A prayer for you, your family, co-workers, and friends Mr. Reisse.

RIP dude. Sounds like a good person who actually did something for a lot of people.
The title of this article does suck.
Police chases can be deadly. Many years ago I was almost rear-ended by a fleeing car - he dodge my car stopped at a red light with 2 cars in front of me. He went off-road and missed my car by a few feet... the 3 police cards chasing him were better at avoiding us.
That sucks... Oculus Rift looks like an awesome product that I WANT TO BUY!

Sad news. It's true what some people are saying that the criminal nature of the perps and the obvious net loss to society is tragic, but really it may as well have been some drunken students that drove into him.
It's just sad news. It always is when the good suffer from the actions of the callous.

Agh, regardless of his tech status, it's always sad to hear about a young man's life being cut so short.

Cops should be put on trial for chasing the target at high speed which in turn kills US. A simple chopper flying overhead etc is all that's needed until they either run out of gas or go home (ironically this is usually the case when not being chased and they are not in a hurry as such).
Or yeah, some sniper shots into the engine. Anything but driving 100mph through traffic so some cops can get driving experience at our expense. Classic case of stupid police work. We don't have enough unmarked cars on the road that could do this without them even knowing? choppers? etc. There are so many options that would NOT put our lives in danger at the same time.

I thought the police had a Policy of "no chase" if it could endanger others?! This is happening to often, especially on city streets.

First off my condolences to Andrew and his family and friends.

But with all the ignorant BS I've ever seen, lets just all blame law enforcement cause its all there fault. The simple solution is to stop high speed chases and use alternate methods (please enlighten us razor512 since your well educated on police tactics) . Lets pass legislation to put an army of drones in the air, multitudes of cameras around the cities and instate 24 helicopters to chase criminals trying to flee from police all while keeping taxes from sky rocketing.. Lets watch more movies to learn more alternate methods of keeping peace and order. Like getting a sniper to shoot a car weaving through the streets of LA at excess of 60mph aiming for the engine block. Let's learn from other countries where they don't chase you and you end up getting away only to maybe kill someone else later on.

Unfortunately the real world doesn't work that way. They don't have the governments' budget at there disposal and they're more trained at high speed chases than a indy car driver. It was the criminals that killed the man not the police so why aren't you all blaming them. Oh thats right, its because the police decided to people that were breaking the law by evading police. It's not the would be criminals fault for trying to run away from the police and carelessly ran red lights and probably aimed for the guy on purpose.

Yes I'm bothered about the news also but don't let your ignorants fool you.

Sad news indeed. But I also gotta agree with this.
