Why do drivers think they can drive away and escape the police? The police responded to a domestic abuse situation, and when they arrived, they saw the man in his car. He decided that he didn't want to be bothered dealing with the police, and he took off at high speed. The police soon stopped chasing him because of safety concerns. They had all of his information, and he was arrested the following day. A high-speed chase during the day through residential areas is never a good idea. Now, he has more serious charges against him. You have to wonder what was going through that guy's head. "There's no way those police cars can go 75 MPH. I'll just drive away and hide." Radio communication is faster than any car.
Maybe the next day he won’t “blow over the limit” and lose his license on top of everything else he’ll be facing

And helicopters. Remember O.J?
In regards to your question, "What is the guy thinking?" you have to back up and consider that anyone who is accused of domestic violence is not thinking right from the beginning and as actions accelerate the level of critical thinking or 'right' thinking probably declines rapidly.
So someone facing the police response to domestic violence is probably just acting and not thinking at all.

Isn’t that why so many domestic calls end badly for the poor cop answering the call?

Felony eluding is much worse than losing your license. Sat on a jury for that once, not good results for the perp.
Remembering that song - probably from the 60's: "I fought the law and the law won."
Still true today!

Not to mention a helicopter.
Maybe sending in the police without anyone else who might be able to speak to these individuals such as a social worker or someone trained in psychological services is the problem.
