Police killing us again!

**caseye** · 5th June 2010, 20:33

Trolling, wot? abart ere? Na git away wiv ya!
Chase the stolen car everytime, 99% of the time it will contain at least one known fellon, most likely with outstanding warants for arrest, drugs of one sort or another, weapons of mas destruction, light sabres(imagine if they ever got into the wrong hands)
Collateral damage is what the Yanks call it when someone who is not directly involved gets hurt or killed.
The amount of collateral damage can and will be directly affected by how responsible the parents of young teens are and how well they've taught their kids the rights and wrongs of life.
Sad fact but if they are in a stolen car when it crashes they suffer the same fate as the person(scumbag) who stole it.
Unless they were hog tied and thrown in that car, no one can tell me they didn't know what the posible outcome would be.
So tell me do we stop running down the street yelling stop thief in the hope that some nice stanger will intervene?
Do we simply let our cars and our personal belongings be taken by anyone who thinks"I'll have that"
Do we give up our most precious possessions without a fight casue it's not worth it?
Wheres your frigging back bones???????????
We have already reached the point where the Police cannot attend every burglary, or every assault or every attempted murder, where we're now told, by Police, you should not be in your own home without locking the front door while you are there, in your own home, on your property, for fear of some arsehole simply walking in and taking your stuff or your children.
Have we not given the low life, bottom dwelling, scum sucking, shit heads, ENOUGH?
Police involved in motor vehicle crashes where it's found theywere at fault, are dealt with far more severely than any ordinary joe bloggs and as if thats not bad enough they no longer have a job to boot.
They ain't perfect but they are ours, we should be supporting them in everything they do.
Most chases end with the stolen car driver and associates taken into custody, with no accidents and no one else hurt.
Should we seriously let them think, that as long as they drive dangerously enough, they will be allowed to get away?

You sound like you have some internal suppressed homosexual conflicts - it's alright dude, it's 2010, it's ok to be gay, in fact it impresses the girls, you can come out that closet

Have any charges been laid yet? I only ask because that guy that mounted the kerb in his car killing the 4-year old last month was charged today. But this incident is now 2 months old (I know they have 6 months).

Sure.... what would you like to know?

Should they rush it through and stuff it up?

Or get it right the first time.....

Your call......

It matters not whether the investigation is done right. Or even whether it's impartial. What matters is that the investigation is seen to be done right. No internal investigation by the police themselves is going to be seen by the public at large as impartial unless the cop is lynched (whether this is deserved or not).

Well....its been 3 months now so how much more is there to "investigate"? ...its not like they are still looking for killer or motive/evidence. It was all quite simple.. so realy how long does such a investigation take? Year or two? (while the cop/killer is probably on paid "holiday")

Yep... two rules all right.... one for those in the Police, and one for everyone else.....

Most of our fatal reports are taking up to 4-6 months to be completed..... so if it's onl;y been three, then patience, arse cropper....

All in all, it seems quite simple.... but unlike many on here, I know very little of all the "facts."

OK. I'll say it.
It is very simple.
Cop spies speeding vehicle. He turns to chase, but in a very stupid place. T-boned by a motorcyclist who was unable to stop in time. Biker dies.
Simple.

Come now, don't let something as insignificant as that get in the way of a good rabid mouth-frothing episode.

Simple.

So why was the biker unable to stop in time?

Biker speeding? Ute speeding?

Dunno. Wasn't there....... but this path has been ventured down before.... and no, I'm not sticking up for the copper. Just like I am not sticking up for the biker. Or the ute driver.

But are there a few lessons for all, from this bad event?

I have to agree that we cannot declare the biker blameless, but then again he has lost his life - surely no one thinks that he needs to be punished further for his share of the blame in this incident?

Now, the police officer - what punishment is suitable for his involvement in the incident that ended a person's life? I guess we'll have to see what happens to him whenever the investigation concludes. It would be great if it didn't take another 3 month before we heard anything, but there isn't much we can do except wait.
