Border Patrol agents intentionally rammed their vehicle into a car they were pursuing on Chicago's Southeast Side on Tuesday, causing the car to spin and crash.
The maneuver, known as a precision immobilization technique, or PIT, is a driving tactic used by some law enforcement agencies to end a vehicle pursuit.
However, some law enforcement professionals, legal experts and advocates say the move is ineffective and dangerous. Many police departments across the country, including the Chicago Police Department, bar or limit their officers from using the maneuver.
The crash on Tuesday was met with an angry response from community members, who gathered and protested at the site, leading to a confrontation with federal officers who used tear gas on the crowd.

Is PIT dangerous?While the PIT maneuver continues to be used by some police departments, there are many documented instances in which the tactic caused crashes and fatalities.
