The real scandal behind the car chase involving Michael Baldridge is the fact that he was even out on the street in the first place.

He is a convicted felon who spent 2 years in state prison.

At one point in June 2008 Michael Baldrdge was facing yet another car chase incident that resulted in 30 counts being filed, another set of drug & needle possession charges that his brothers James Baldridge & Stephen Baldridge were also involved in, & topped off with credit card fraud.

He waltzed away from all of this earlier this year without any jail time, no court monitoring and 6 months later is involved in another car chase that resulted in the injury of 5 police officers.

If I was that cop that almost got ran over I would be plenty pissed off.
