I'm nearly speachless after reading that comment...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

I'm hoping that was writen in hast without giving much thought and that now RR619 is thinking about what he wrote and saying to himself, "gee, maybe that was a little over the top". If so, use the edit button. If not, you may want to move to a place more suited for your idea of justice system....say like Iraq![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]

 

The Supreme Court seems to think cops can be liable in situations like this. Of course we cannot fully diagnose the scenario without the entire story. By running this scenario as it is stated to a justice studies instructor who has been in the Marines, a Deputy Marshal, and Police officer in cities like Miami and retired as the Police Chief in our town before entering the teaching profession said the cops were liable if the story as given is true and he would bet if that was a law officers kid they would file charges if the scenario transpired as stated given.

This is from someone who has had a life career on the side of the law.

 

I'm at a complete loss looking at the hate that went into writing that. You should be ashamed. Life is a precious gift.

 

I agree........I haven't even read all of this, but that quote above just shows you have no respect for life......wether it be yours or anyone else's..........have some mercy, you should never wish death upon someone.

 

Big Black,

it's good to know that you have the resources available to you to find this information. But your posts are doing nothing but repeating themselves. How many more ways can you find to type the same info? You've made your point. We understand that several law enforcement agenices across the nation feel that a chase situation is not warranted in this circumstance. Point taken.

On the flip side, one can view this as a scenario where we have tried to legislate against stupidity, and unfortunately, have succeeded. This leads up to more frivolous law suits and no personal responsibility. A bunch of "mama's boys".

Don't get me wrong here. I am sorry as anyone this kid lost his life. If things would have been done differently on both sides, this could have been prevented. The frivolous suits and "mama's boys" are a result of compassion getting in the way of better judgement.

 

I dont care what anyone says if it was them they would have either stayed till the cop came over to them or done what u did. Dont let the man get you down.
