NEW YORK -- Police chases have been under scrutiny in recent years for the danger they can pose to both suspects and bystanders.
A recent police chase in Arkansas ended with a small child climbing out of a flipped car.
Troopers say they were trying to pull over a car going 80 miles an hour in a "55" zone.
The trooper nudged the back of the car, and it rolled over.
Moments later, with the trooper's gun pointed at the car, a 3-year-old climbed out.
The trooper picked up and comforted the child before taking his mom into custody.

The San Francisco Chronicle reported, between 2017 and 2022, 3,336 people in the U.S. were killed during police pursuits. More than 550 of them were bystanders.
And investigators found most chases stemmed from traffic violations and other non-violent crimes.
In New York, the NYPD recently banned high-speed chases for low-level offenses.
