re: 2 civilians die in West Baton Rouge car chase

At what point does a cop become responsible for their actions here?
On a board that is largely pro police, you and redneck are the only two on the side of the officer.
The cop displayed gross negligence. In many jobs, that can result in jail time

This off duty cop decided to join a pursuit unnecessarily.
I’m doing so, he broke laws (which were posted earlier in the thread) about police pursuits by being out of control and not yielding safely.
Anger is rightfully targeted toward the Addis cop, no matter how hard redneck and GeauxxTigers want to try to deflect.
This cop inserted himself into a situation and he deserves the full consequences of his negligence.

Ain’t the time for hypotheticals… situations is what it is… hell even if the perps where wanted for a serious crime the cop would still be in the wrong…

I am not on the side of the officer baw. He fricked up bad and will lose his job over this mistake. I just don’t think he should be locked up for attempting to do his job.
The majority of anger in this thread is directed towards the officer when it should be towards the perp that committed multiple crimes leading up to the accident.

And he's facing two manslaughter charges in WBR

He was off duty. The job was being done by multiple officers that were on duty. He wasn't needed.
The qualifier to go to jail is whether he was drunk or not. Gross negligence in a job like that doesn't depend on your level of intoxication. Multiple people are dead because of multiple terrible choices by one man and losing his job is the only thing you think should happen.
Like I asked the other guy, at what point is the guy so at fault that you think going to jail is a suitable punishment

If he killed two innocent peoples attempting to do his job then yes he should be charged and potentially jailed, if that is what the law prescribes.
Both the suspect and the officer f*cked up.

The same people saying the pursuit should have never happened would be bitching about cops “not doing their jobs” had they called off the chase and the perp committed other crimes later in the day that could have been committed. Unless he was under the influence the cop does not deserve jail time.

No that’s not what most are saying. This guy blew thru a packed intersection at 60 mph (a total but reasonable guess) in broad daylight and killed two girls while not in actual pursuit.
He should serve at least 2 years if it’s my call.

Nobody is saying that. They're saying multiple on duty cops were chasing the vehicle, and this guy killed 2 innocent teens by trying to get in on the chase, while off duty.
He was not in control of his vehicle and killed 2 people. He needs to be held accountable.

This is 100% the criminals fault. This guy has a record longer than a football field. He is also a four time convicted felon. He had prior arrest that can be considered very dangerous. Why isnt this publicized? The cop was negligent in the sense that he did NOT yield at the red light for the kids.
At the end of the day, two innocent kids lost their lives and another person, who will live with guilt the rest of his life. Nobody wins! Absolutely nobody!

Horrible.
Can they throw in felony murder charges against that POS?

This. He made terrible decisions and should not be absolved of those decisions just because he is a police officer.

May be more than negligence...could rise to the level of reckless disregard

Well this isn’t true at all
It happened about 6 months ago in Charleston and was a huge ordeal. Thankfully the cop was charged.

Congrats on being right about a wreck that killed two teenagers 
Posted on 1/1/23 at 10:11 am to Sun God
That’s such a “cop” out. He was being a complete prick to me based on information I knew, personally attacked me and my family.
Sorry if I want to call him a dickhead for it. And to then try and turn the teens death and guilt on me is such a shitty thing to do on top of that. Take your personal vendetta elsewhere

Sounds like the criminal had more common driving sense than the cop. No one is excusing fleeing criminals. But like a no knock warrant, you have to use discretion and use when only absolutely necessary.
This is far from that.
Posted on 1/1/23 at 10:15 am to lsupride87
There wasn't much information in the thread at all and you didn't add anything that is now apparently known(him being off duty and not yielding to an intersection).
Dunno why you're taking this so personal
