Of course you could argue the retarded police practice of LET'S CHASE THEM THROUGH CROWDED STREETS for every goddamn thing is pretty reckless too. Stealing a car does not inherently endanger anyone. Let them steal the fucking thing! There are multiple ways of tracing stolen vehicles without chasing them down the highway so you can be a hero.
Running away when a cop chases you is already a crime, it's called resisting arrest. Charge him for that. If you want to know who made the event worth covering on the news, you need to look at who made it into a OMG CHASE! and not just yet another stolen vehicle out of millions.

It was always my notion that the pursuit of fleeing criminals was to apprehend them sooner. If you simply track a stolen car and wait until it stops somewhere, that doesn't mean that police will be on the scene. And, while some criminals are dumb, some of them are also smart. They know that they can be tracked. But if there are no police there to apprehend them when they get out of the vehicle, that leaves the criminal open to capitalize on their situation, perhaps by creating undesirable scenarios like hostage situations and potentially murder. Or more common, they just might get away.
In the case of the helicopter crashes, I doubt that the criminal will be charged with the deaths of the pilots. They placed themselves in a potentially dangerous situation willingly, and through their fault alone they collided. The criminal had no responsibility for the safety of the helicopter crews, and it was not those crews' government mandated duty to be where they were, when they were. If it were a police chopper, it'd be different.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
