Not when the victim was jaywalking & illegally crossing the street, which appears to be the case.
The race of the deceased is likely an important factor here. Can anyone tell me the race so I can properly gauge my level of outrage?

Looks like there's a crosswalk right fricking there too. Hate to be insensitive but if this pedestrian isn't too lazy to walk a few more feet, he's probably still alive. Sucks for all involved though, shitty situation.

So everyone speeding on Florida Blvd should be taken to jail? Should also depend on how much over the speed limit he was driving. If he was just doing 10 to 15 over and you think he should go to jail for Negligent homicide because someone who shouldn't have been in the roadway got hit then everyone who gets caught speeding should see jailtime for reckless driving

Well the dead guy was a POC* but so was the officer I believe. So it was a wash for the SJW's minus about .18 for the driver being a cop.
*I used what I believe to be the correct non-bannable terminology here for a Person of Color. Correct me if I erred.

Officer was blue is all Gravy will think.

What would the penalty be for a civilian?
Likely nothing because the pedestrian did not have the right-of-way…

I'm sure we'd all get the same treatment.
But think about all the people he DIDN'T kill while speeding in his career. Has to be a very low percentage.

Your post just proved you wrong. Vehicular homicide does not require the operator to be impaired.

Being a delivery driver, if I did the same thing my job would fire me and I would be arrested.

Am I missing something? All of the bullet points included being under the influence and nothing about speed. Maybe I misread?

You spelled toxicology report wrong.
For vehicular homicide, the driver MUST be under the influence in LA.

We've investigated ourselves, and we've done nothing wrong... classic.

This is the kind of shite blm need to get behind. I would support them over this.

This is my guess. Kind of similar happened recently in dallas. No charges filed against drivers.

but finding an excuse to bash the police is golden,don't spoil their fun by posting contrary evidence to their baseless conclusions

Hell, it seems like this happens by civilians on Scotland Avenue at least once a month.

Honestly, with the amount of people that casually stroll across FL Blvd outside of crosswalks with zero concern for traffic, I'm surprised someone isn't killed everyday. If you're jaywalking across a busy street, I have zero sympathy for what happens to you.
I see this shite all the time at Perkins and Bluebonnet. Those dipshits play frogger in traffic when there is a crosswalk 50 ft away. Sometimes I hope they get hit.
