Default Officer charged in vehicular manslaughter

Hopefully he will do life for killing the innocent children, but a good step in the right direction of the law. The badge doesnt seem to be protecting this cop from his crime.

The kids were driving drunk....

What the cop did was wrong and way out of line, I think he deserves the charge because any regular person would have been charged the same, but the kids were NOT completely innocent.

Police officers cannot speed wrecklessly without their lights on. That's why this happened. If that officer had his lights on the turning driver would have waited.

personally I was almost run over by a speeding cruiser at night that didn't even have his headlights on! Much less his flashing lights...he was doing about 100 in the far left lane to sneak up on a speeder that had just passed me doing about 90. I was about to merge into the left lane to pass a slow car when the dumbass cop turned his cruiser headlights on in my side mirror, which almost put me into a spin-out as I swerved back to the right.

Some cops think they are so above the law that they can drive dangerously.

^yup

i got passed one time in a 45 limit by two cops both doing around 80. i saw them coming in my rear view but they did not have their lights on. i figured they were racing or something, cause if there was a real emergency they had to speed that much for their lights would absolutely be on. was something like 3 in the morning...

My wife works with a woman that has a mentally disabled son because of a brain injury. He was a teenage kid out walking around drunk one night and was hit by a county sheriff. All this is known an proven. The sheriff did not stop but drove home (who know's he may have been drunk himself) and left the kid injured on the side of the road. The boy will need to be looked after the erest of his life.

The sheriff is being sued, but of course, no charges will every be filed against him, even though he hit someone with his car, injured them, and with full knowledge, drove away.

Prosecutors and the police are on the same "team". I think every state should have an independant prosecutors office (sort of like an internal affairs office) where people can bring cases to for possible prosecution when police are being let off the hook and do not face the same set of laws the rest of the people do.

I don't understand how they are able to pin this cop to the wall, yet a state trooper in NJ got off for practically the SAME incident...

Ya... thats why I preach that there should be 1 law for everyone, and no matter badge or not, same punishment to anyone who breaks that law.

I bet its because they have this incident on tape and the police department has to deal with all of the backlash. Those two girls in NJ were killed in an instant and nobody even heard about it until the cop got off.
