There is 100% video footage in that intersection - we've seen it from previous wrecks.
The guy that killed the two girls also had a dash cam and probably a cam on his vest, if it was turned on.

I've said this to a few people today - the blame lies entirely with Addis PD. They should've never been involved, but a small-town cop had to race to be at the end of a pursuit that had already left his jurisdiction and the cop wrecked into the girls.
The actual pursuit itself had nothing happen. BRPD chased him and arrested him later on.
And if the TPOS black kid would’ve run into the two girls- or anyone else- and Killed them, you’d be bitching about why cops didn’t do more to stop him. I’m sure if the officer, who was likely running code, thought a couple of kids were gonna pull out in front of him, he’d have checked up. It’s Just a horrible situation all the way around. But blaming the cop for pursuing a TPOS is a bitch move.

Did the cop have his lights and sirens on? Did the kids fail to yield? Only asking bc this is something I keep stressing to my son. Afraid his music will be too loud and get caught up in something.

This is what I want to know. Did he follow code? What was his speed? Was his lights and siren on? Did he act recklessly or not?

Right. If he wasn’t running code, then piss on him. But these guys live for that shite. As to his speed, I’d imagine he was hooked up. But regardless of how fast he was going, I don’t believe he was doing so with blatant disregard for public safety. That’s why I said this is just a shitty situation. Those poor girls weren’t expecting him to blow thru that intersection, but I’ll bet he never thought they’d pull out in front of him either.

The proof in the pudding… that’s exactly what he was doing regardless of what you believe…

Do you apply the same standard to the thug car thief?

Not at all… you speaking in hypotheticals… the cop caused the crash that killed two young girls… ain’t no standard to apply pass that

Do you think the car thief has any responsibility in this?

Splain to me how a freaking dolt thug is gonna afford any restitution to a victim? Please explain are they gonna attach their trusts? ??

Of course I do… but that doesn’t absolve the cop in this situation… not just the cop who caused the wreck… everyone of them that joined the chase behind a Unauthorized of a Movable charge

The smallest bit of reading will tell you the chase didn’t end on the Mississippi River bridge. It ended pretty much at the LSU
Yeah that was my bad it ended near the Dalrymple exit.

This is probably true. I just passed by where it happened, near Walkons on Hwy 1. I heard several stories in a short period of time, but the deputy ran through the red light and hit them.
Its too late to say what should have happened and I can't imagine with the deputy is dealing with right now, but Addis has what? 2 or 3 deputies on day shift? They have little experience car chasing. With all the different departments chasing the car, I am not sure what the Addis police deputy could do.
You can't blame him because there is no protocol for that situation, but HWY 1 sucks and it just seems like a risky move even if no one was hit,

When an officer runs code (regardless of lights and sirens) he must proceed in a safe manner and he must slow down at intersections and yield to any vehicle that proceeds through the intersection when officer running a red light. If lights & sirens, it would not rid officer of fault, it will just lessen the pay-out.

I work in law enforcement in that area...
With that being said.. I appreciate the back the blue stuff...
BUT... say what you want, dude the officer is at fault. I know the details. He wasn't in the pursuit. He was hauling arse trying to catch up the oursuit that had been passed. He did not, DID NOT, yield at the light, you have to. And since it had left his jurisdiction there is no reason to haul arse and catch up to it. He wasn't even on duty when he attempted to catch up to it...
This whole thing is fricked up, I have kids that go to school with these kids. Yes dude should not have ran, but it was unauthorized use. They knew the kid and he stole a family members car. And we, one jurisdiction over, have policies where we call off when traffic conditions are not right or crime that was committed. The roadways were chock full of traffic. And the crime did not warrant the continuing chase. Everyone will have their own opinions on this. But the chase should have never continued.
