Police killing us again!

[MSTRS:Me]

Another interesting comment in that Stuff news article was;

"The police officer's blood alcohol breath test came back negative, while Mr Brown's was also below the legal limit."

NB: It does not say Browns was negative, it says below the legal limit.

What a twisted crock of shit. There's nothing 'interesting' about a cop twisting facts to cast aspersions...

[trustme]

No twisting of facts. Both the rider & driver had been drinking at farmer 'Joes', although the driver was a later arrival. Surprised it came out so quick.

It's before the courts so perhaps we should all wait for the facts before casting aspertions.

There's people like this still around?

If you get that massive "chip" off your shoulder it will improve your power to weight ratio.
Unpleasantries like that should be kept to yourself.

It is twisting. The facts are what they are. How they are stated paints a picture - in this case, one that attempts to make the cop involved look better.

Ah, the good old media - ya can get them to put a spin whichever way ya want eh!

[scumdog]

the reprter could've said both blood alcohol tests were negative.

'Negative' means NO alcohol.

It doesn't mean "Oh, he was below the legal limit".

If only...depends who's doing the wanting. Don't you think a lot of us tried when Nick the Prick, John Judge etc were spouting their lies?

While it is fashionable and so KB to criticize media and police reports for how they present facts I have no reason to doubt the accuracy of what has been reported. Negative is nil and below the limit is above nil - end of story.

Hmmm...in your OPINION maybe...

i.e. in Coroners Court etc 'negative' means there wasn't any, zilch, nadda, none, zero.

Any reading/level at all ? - the figures are quoted.

I've never heard of "..gave a negative reading of 385..."

Also interesting that, as quoted in the story;

"An expert engineering consultant estimated Mr Brown was travelling between 135 and 155kmh before he hit his brakes."

The upper limit of this speed is very close to the speed check of 154 km/h that was the cause of this U turn.

Could it be possible both vehicles were racing?

Well I've heard speed kills used as a threat/deterrent fairly often, also in the odd crash analysis, but this is the first time I've seen it used as a fucking excuse.

Both parties leave from the same place heading in the same direction at high speed. Nah could not possibly be a race.
