| I've noticed the drunk driver reference in this thread, obviously. I didn't see the original story when this happened. Was the determination of the driver being intoxicated made during the autopsy? If so, what was the level that was found? |

You bet, but his faulty decision making had no chance of costing somebody outside of the situation their life. |

This "reasoning" is beyond moronic and shows the tunnel vision that LE operate with. You justify the sociopathic actions of the officer by creating a mythical situation of this poor kid killing someone, as if this idiot cop actually was a hero and saved an innocent bystander. |

| If the moron hadn't been drunk driving and running from the cops, none of this would have happened. |

I don't believe the sentence for any of his actions is the death penalty. |

Negative...the article states he died on impact. It is an unfortunate situation in any case. The family I am sure is heartbroken and the trooper was morally flawed and had some question of whether he would be accused of wrong doing I am sure. Also there is no need to blame the entire organization over one man's actions. And bfore anyone says its there duty to do proper background checks keep in mind that there are bad apples in any and every organization you can think of and no amount of background investigation could possibly prevent one from getting the job.
Prayers for the families.

Prayers for the families. | No need to blame an entire organization on one man's actions when there's a gigantic sample size. It's evidenced by posts made by LE. The way LE thinks is the problem. Something as obviously immoral as driving past a wreck is instantly sugarcoated by many LE with their myriad of "what ifs" and "he should've". |

| If you haven't had a discussion with bamacheats then go ahead and save yourself the time and don't.
He's a child and continues to prove it time and time again. |

You are right though it was immoral thing to do by the THP trooper.
