did you graduate from there as well.

growing up in brusly, the whole stretch of highway 1 is just brutal.

there was no need for the addis police to join in when there were already enough police force.

this is just sad

So you can’t show where I said anything about criminal behavior or criminal liability. Got it


2 people dead, you say the cop should be held liable.

And you still claim to be able to make that assessment with no details of the accident other than the two cars came in contact with each other. It's fascinating to watch you lash out at people who tell you that you might be wrong

We have a lot of definitive statements in here with an article that doesn't have many details at all.

I read the entire article and I can honestly say I have no idea wtf happened to lay blame on anyone for anything

Two 17 year old girls. Seniors at Brusly High.

BREAKING: Two 17-year-old girls were killed in a crash caused by Saturday's lengthy, multi-parish police chase that came to an end on I-10. The girls were both seniors at Brusly High School, deputies say.


1) the criminals should not have been allowed to run for multiple parishes

2) they should now serve life in prison

I can't imagine what their families are going through. Awful.

Did we militarize the police? Cops are civilians who happen to be employed in law enforcement.

Semantics are semantics. The choice of word was used to show it was an innocent bystander, not a cop or the perpetrators.

Not that I disagree but how would you force some broke arse to pay?

Normally when the cops and criminals are going at it, everyone else is considered a civilian

It's all in the game

A man must have a code

A stolen car is not worth two lives sorry. The cop may be in the wrong here. I’m all for putting criminals in jail but if I lost two family members to that dumb shite I’d be pissed at all of them including the cop.

The driver was 17 and a junior at Brusly, the other fatality is a 15 year old Sophomore also at Brusly High. Both on the cheerleading squad.
The drivers brother was in back seat, he was rushed the hospital with a punctured lung, is currently in stable condition.
My daughter is also a Junior at Brusly and my son played baseball at Brusly with the brother that was in the back seat.
Incredibly tragic day for the families and this community. The kids that knew the girls are rocked to their cores.
One of the families lives down the street from me and I saw tons of kids and various people going in to see the family.

Yep If cop didn't have sirens and/or lights on or if a jury finds he acted in reckless disregard for the safety of others, the police department is on the hook civilly
