As far as being more likely to not hurt someone, 10k people die a year in drunk driving related accidents, 200 die a year in police pursuits including pursuing drunk drivers. It is far safer to stop a drunk driver than let them continue. Don't forget many pursuits end very quickly using things like Stop Sticks.

I am in agreement with you on this topic as a whole.  That being said.  That is not how statistics work and is a prime example I would use, in the science class I used to teach, to show how people misuse statistics to inappropriately bolster their argument.
