Another THP Officer shows his true colors

I'm not going to get into the who's right/who's wrong thing but I will say there's NO WAY the THP officer did not see the wreck because he immediately slowed down as he passed it. What in God's name was he thinking to just keep driving? Total moronic moment.

Yes

He had an obligation to stop and render aid

Just as if I shot a suspect, I am still required to render aid and try to save his life. Its the right thing to do

How about this. Both Victim and policeman made egregious errors in judgement. One lost his life and the other should definitely lose his job. There really should not be that much disagreement in this thread.

He may be but not as big of an ass as someone who gets drunk and drives 40 over the limit. Then evades the police when he gets caught doing it.

You're right, drunk driving and watching someone you're sworn to protect burn to death are exactly comparable.

Moron.

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?

The difference is that the kid's egregious error might very well have cost other(s) THEIR lives. Dude was already TU by the time the officer made his egregious error. Bad judgement on the cops part? You bet, but his faulty decision making had no chance of costing somebody outside of the situation their life.

Maybe one day rockytop will grow up and realize this.

I doubt it though

This is the reason so many have lost respect for "law enforcement". 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.

If the moron cop had stopped and pulled the kid from the wreck, the kid could be prosecuted for those actions. 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.

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 not familiar with statistical sample sizes huh? The 2 or 3 guys in here that may be part of an LE organization regardless of their opinion do not encompass a GIGANTIC sample size.

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

I think I have maybe once before but I am a glutton for punishment I guess. Just like to argue my points without being too reliant on emotion or other disqualifying debate technique...

I would also like to respond to the multiple adolesent insults I have recieved in this thread.

I have never once, nor will I, attempt to justify what the cop did. He was wrong and got what he deserved. It is actually debatable that he got far less than what he deserved.

I'm just not gonna sit here and pretend the man (he was 20 y/o... not a child) driving 40 over the limit, while drunk and evading the police is some kind of victim.

The LE posters here is just an immediate example. However, in the small sample size of VN, the majority of LE posters share the same point of view.

The primary problem with LE everywhere is that it comes with way too much risk, responsibility, and stress for what little it pays. This is not a good recipe for attracting the brightest guys in the class. It's insulting to me that we ask someone to protect us and get in harms way yet don't compensate the job adequately. That leaves a bunch of guys with a Napoleon complex to sign up because the authority is personally more valuable than fair compensation.
