Re: Ooops the police did it again.
How about charging cops the same as regular people?

Police killed another black man holding a toy gun in Walmart - Grand Jury says no trl
Wow!
Got to hear anyone trying to defend this one.
From what I saw the guy was shopping in Walmart just walking around talking on his phone.
He is holding a toy gun he picked up inside the Walmart maybe to buy or just to play with.
They walked in and bang, he dead.
This was from the comment section of the video:
Gerald Slaughter+Joe Salvatore No, if the Beavercreek PD had sense the victim would be alive today. The shooting officer is a known loose cannon. Besides this being his second shooting some of his colleagues have felt uneasy about his temperament. Apparently his daddy is a veteran of the police force so Rambo was cut some slack.
Caught on video too.

Was he even holding the bb gun when he was shot?

In cases like this one it's fairly typical for a defendant to take a trial by judge, instead of jury, if he's going to try and be found not guilty on some pointy-headed issue of law. From what little has been revealed in The Star's story it would appear that it was the issue of 'reasonable doubt' that came into play. A jury might have been swayed by sympathy for the victims, whereas a judge tends to go strictly by dictates of law.
Yes, he's been paid since 2009.

The grand jury system is broken. There is no excuse for this incident and the man choked to death to at least go to trial. Shameful.
Again you have a country that wants everyone to have a gun but if your black you will be shot without cause. This will end well.
I read the other day of one of the witnesses in the Ferguson case is a know racist, fraud & bi polar. But of course her testimony that was made up was used to supported Darren Wilson's account exactly of course after it changed a few times. Hmm

Re: Ooops the police did it again.
That's not news anymore since it nearly happens every day but rear ending school buses is almost a weekly thing. Expect a dip in the pattern over the next two weeks though.

I don't get this one. I would pass if they were going abysmally slow too. Do the cherries make them gods? Talk about passive aggressive.
Point being that passing an emergency vehicle that has its lights on may create a dangerous situation. If that vehicle is looking for something specific and suddenly has to go from left lane to right, the passing vehicle has just caused a collision.
Shouldn't the driver of the emergency vehicle, I dunno, look in the mirror first?
I've been conflicted when I see an ambulance or fire truck in my rear view mirror on the highway because I am pretty much always driving faster than them and if I pull over and slow down for them to go past I'm going to be stuck behind them until they get where they are going because apparently emergency vehicles drive slower than my normal cruising speed on the 401.
I've also gotten behind cops with their lights on in snow storms as they drive to a call and been stuck behind them because they are going too slow.
I wouldn't have the balls to pass a cop with his lights on, though. It's just asking for a ticket. Not that I think it's deserved. Just like I avoid giving them the finger when they do something on the road that would otherwise get the finger from me (cops tend to drive really badly).
The emergency vehicle's driver may be looking for almost anything, that could well involve a life or death situation. The lights are there to warn you of their presence so that they can concentrate on the job at hand, not random drivers who might think that they are more important than an emergency situation. With all of that said if the driver of the emergency vehicle is trying to find the point at which a vehicle has gone off the road should he have to watch out for idiots too?
As to not pulling over; most of the emergency responders I've spoken to just want you to behave in a predictable fashion. People swerving from the left lane so that they can pull over on the right shoulder just create a hazardous situation. Get out off the road if the way is blocked, but otherwise just stay out of the way.
I passed an ambulance in snowstorm once. It was s-bnd on the 404 before it reaches the 401, about 5-6 lanes wide. It was maybe 2 or 3 lanes over on the left (hard to tell with the lines covered by snow) and I was doing 90, so it was probably around 80. The only reason the ambulance would have hit me is if the driver felt offended and wanted to 'teach me a lesson'.

Yes... they should.
Funny, I lean more toward the side of civic responsibility, as in regular citizens should do their duty too.

Donuts or coffee? Timmy's power went out in the storm and can't see the sign? You switched from cops to emergency vehicle btw. Technically that's moving the goalposts.
