Based on the details ITT, this is not enough. He can just go to another department and get hired.

Killing innocent civilians during a chase because you were driving recklessly is NOT acceptable.
No shite. Which is why it almost never happens. It’s so freaking rare that there is a zero % anyone in this thread could name another time it’s happened without googling.

It did just happen. The girl from Central was killed within a year by the airport. She was sitting at a red light

I have a senior at Brusly High. This situation has shaken the entire Westside community. Terribly tragic and preventable. While the perp definitely should be charged to the full extent of the law, if what's being reported about the officer is true he should be charged as well. So angered by this entire situation... but I'm sad at the same time. Such a mix of emotions...I can't fathom what the families are going through

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...
Wow that is awful. Dude should go to jail with the guy he was 'pursuing'

Huh? It did happen…to 2 innocent teenagers, possibly a third. Once is NOT acceptable.
Once is also not a reason to stop chasing criminals. It’s bad luck and shitty situation but at the end of the day that’s all it is for everyone who isn’t close to those involved.

As I already said, you should still chase the criminal, but you cannot do it recklessly.
A reckless cop is not bad luck and a shitty situation. It’s reckless and manslaughter.

If what's being reported here is true you CANNOT condone this officer's actions. It wasn't "bad luck" but appears to be incompetence and reckless disregard for the safety of others

Comments like this piss me off. You really think losing his job is an appropriate punishment for this? There is no excuse for what this cop did and he needs to be punished like anyone else would be.

People make mistakes man. This one happened to be a big one. But at the end of the day if the criminal who was being chased hadn’t committed a crime and ran from the police those little girls would be alive.
Look guys I get it. It’s a tragedy and those girls didn’t deserve to die. You are all emotional and angry and need someone to hate so you’ve picked the easiest target without thinking about the people that started this whole horrible chain of events.

mistakes yes...but this appears to be gross negligence by the officer. But I don't have all the facts. I'm sure a jury will decide in a civil case if this was beyond ordinary negligence

This is a pretty backhanded comment to discredit peoples opinions here.
If what was posted is true, there is no defending a guy who wasn't even on duty blowing through an intersection to catch up to a chase for a stolen car.
You're the only one sounding emotional and irrational

If everything you are saying here is true, then obviously my assessment is wrong and the cop is at fault. Especially if he wasn’t on duty. He needs to be held accountable.
You’ve been wrong the whole time…

Indeed. And they still get charged with manslaughter.
Just because you make a mistake, doesn’t mean you go free.

This makes you sound like a police officer who is trying to excuse the actions of that cop.
If the details that have been said by multiple posters are true, it’s purely that cops fault those girls are dead and he deserves jail time.

You still don’t get it do you???… it’s about prioritization … the crime committed doesn’t call for a multi parish high speed chase … it seems some of you just can’t understand that… and if the facts come out that this idiot wasn’t even on duty he should be charged like a regular person

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 prevented. Unless he was under the influence the cop does not deserve jail time.
Terribly sad situation all around. Prayers sent to the families and friends of the two girls.

Police were already in pursuit doing their job and in closer proximity to the suspect when this officer got into the mix. But even "doing your job" does not excuse gross incompetence and reckless disregard for the safety of others

It’s true though. Two innocent little girls died and people are emotional about it. That’s affecting their opinions. It’s a tragedy.
