(65,616 posts)were an issue, but instead of fixing the problem he just made it worse by doing nothing about it at all. I guess it was more important to pull people over, then get new headlights that were not as bright. And now he has a dead kid to think about every night he goes to bed and realizes all he had to do was let him go and not stop him at all.
It was the cops choice and he blew it. He had the kid tazed on the ground and just couldn't wait for backup...a hero now reduced to a zero.
I expect 17 year olds to have a mouth and back talk authority, I don't expect a grown man with 8 years experience on the force to murder someone in cold blood. Just because he could. How is it teachers can handle situations that cops fail to be able to handle?
Moral of the story, never flash your lights it could be a cop that has your name on all their bullets.
