Just like you can out drive your headlights by speeding, you can out drive the siren. Not all legally deaf people can't hear. Technology has come a long way.

Fool...you are just making a terrible story fit your narrative of unending hate.
Be a part of a solution for once instead of a purveyor of problems and separation.

I’m guessing that the Explorer had already pinballed off of several other vehicles and the pole was just the thing to finally bring it to a stop.

Although the law leaves areas open to interpretation, they should reduce speed at intersections.
Don’t see this going BRPD’s way.

§24. Emergency vehicles; exceptions A. The driver or rider of an authorized emergency vehicle, when responding to an emergency call, or when in the pursuit of an actual or suspected violator of the law, or when responding to, but not upon returning from, a fire alarm, may exercise the privileges set forth in this Section, but subject to the conditions herein stated. B. The driver or rider of an authorized emergency vehicle may do any of the following: (1) Park or stand, irrespective of the provisions of this Chapter. (2) Proceed past a red or stop signal or stop sign, but only after slowing down or stopping as may be necessary for safe operation. (3) Exceed the maximum speed limits so long as he does not endanger life or property. (4) Disregard regulations governing the direction of movement or turning in specified directions. C. The exceptions herein granted to an authorized emergency vehicle shall apply only when such vehicle or bicycle is making use of audible or visual signals, including the use of a peace officer cycle rider's whistle, sufficient to warn motorists of their approach, except that a police vehicle need not be equipped with or display a red light visible from in front of the vehicle. D. The foregoing provisions shall not relieve the driver or rider of an authorized vehicle from the duty to drive or ride with due regard for the safety of all persons, nor shall such provisions protect the driver or rider from the consequences of his reckless disregard for the safety of others.

No, it does not give them authority to “blow through red lights.” Earlier this year a cop across the river killed two high schoolers flying through a red light

Yep. They were responding to a call but it wasn’t a hot pursuit of a suspect.
I don’t see this going well AT ALL.

The deaf guy didn’t sign up to get paid to die for the local government downfall.

1.) You realize police departments are the government and that cops are government employees, right?
2.) If cops feel that they have a right to kill deaf people that may happen to be driving so that they can help other cops, then you should announce that to the public so deaf people know cops have a license to kill them, and put it in your training manuals.

I need to know what bad choices these officers made in their lives to go sign up as a BRPD police officer making 35k/year.
I’d rather be homeless or work night shift at Circle K.

Yeah I cannot comprehend the logic required to justify a cop depriving a citizen of life in such a reckless manor. The burden of protection from an officer is just as relevant to the poor guy he slammed into as the officers he was rushing to. To cause that amount of carnage seen in the photos of the scene screams negligence.

I'm pro-police, but BRPD is going to pay for this one. There is no way for them to hit the deaf guy's vehicle in that manner unless they were recklessly hauling arse through the intersection.
Even when responding to a call, blue lights and sirens do not part the Red Sea.
Just add it to their list of pending lawsuits. Murphy will definitely need that increase to his legal budget he's been requesting, because they will be involved in a lot of litigation.

Electric Depot area after 3pm is an absolute no-go
Posted on 10/23/23 at 2:02 pm to 3oliv3
If it were a hot pursuit of a murder suspect, I could see it.
If they were chasing that “shots fired” call and were only a block or two away, I could see it.
Problem is that Government and Foster is a long fricking way from Electric Depot, meaning they had a good 20-30 blocks or so between that intersection and the area where the call came from.
In their rush to get to a big call, they hauled arse through an intersection which is busy most times of the day despite being pretty damn far from where the call came in.

How many times have we all seen cops, ambulances, and fire trucks both leaving and going towards dire emergencies slow down and even come to a stop in big intersections?
That is common place and the safe way to go about. You can't help anyone if you wreck your vehicle on the way. These cops majorly fricked up and killed an innocent guy.
