Polar Ice, I regret to inform you that you made a wrong turn somewhere and have stumbled onto the Go-Low forum, NOT onto a site where you can engage in dialogue with rational people and find thoughtful analysis of issues that will benefit our community. But more to your point, here is a copy of one of the website's rules, which is broken often when law enforcement is the topic of discussion: Prohibited are postings which make: •Assumptions of guilt or innocence in crime stories, or advocacy for punishment of the accused. Remember, a charge is not a conviction and suspects are innocent until proven guilty.

I'm okay with DUI being a year in prison for first offense, especially if combined with other crimes like negligent homicide / hit and run /fleeing police, etc. Put my tax dollars to work for a good cause! Some countries will execute you, this is getting off light!

"No normal person would consider the “fault” of a loved one’s death to be any kind of consolation to their grief. Most sensible people would find it more important to prevent a tragedy than to determine who’s at for the tragedy. Polar Ice

In the insurance industry there is a concept known as contributory negligence. It means that the speeding cop and the chase policy are responsible along with the evading suspect

Polar Ice - "What do you propose they say when people are killed DUE to the continued pursuit?"

“That it's the fault of the cowardly law breaker running, not the law officers trying to stop them.” Heuman Bean

No normal person would consider the “fault” of a loved one’s death to be any kind of consolation to their grief. Most sensible people would find it more important to prevent a tragedy than to determine who’s at for the tragedy.

If the moderators would allow it, I would re post my last comment. however since it is right under yours, just read it there.

“Cowardly runners in car chases just need to be removed from the vehicle once caught, and shot dead on the spot for the number of innocents, including officers, they endangered along the way.” “You break the law the police should be able to put a Howitzer up your tailpipe and blow you to kingdom come to stop you for good.”

"Why is he still alive?? There is no justice. US VET"

I find the comments here most revealing of the character of some posters. Out of one side of their mouths they claim to believe in some god or other and object to a blob of tissue, fetus being flushed down a toilet and, out of the other side of their mouths they call for the death penalty for traffic infractions. There is a word for that. Now what could that word be? Oh yes, I remember, it is hypocrite.

ECU4lifepurpgold said "Whats funny is all the people on here bashing the police for chasing him when they have no clue lol. OHHHHHHHH but if it was there baby they hit at 106mph drunk and killed them then they would be angry"

Well, just as predicted this AM, there were all these posters that decided dissatisfaction with carnage caused by urban police chases = criticism of, or lack of appreciation for law enforcement. I didn't see anyone criticizing LEOs. Oh, and the guy wouldn't have been going 106 if he hadn't been chased, and you better believe I'd be angry if the the CHASE CAUSED my baby to be killed.

Why is he still alive?? There is no justice.

PracticalMagick - "Curious as to how many posters on this story (besides ECU4Life) are LEO's?"

I'm curious to know how many are cop haters actually, cop haters who wouldn't hesitate to call 911 if they or someone they love were in danger - even though as a cop hater, they should face the music of that danger alone.
