I say to bad for the cop.....the girl was doing nearly double the speed limit AND drove away while he was writing a ticket. I can related to being scared for her loved ones, but her actions did not help her father one bit, all she did was jeopardize the safety of others by getting behind the wheel in such an erratic state.
It's like the Rodney King story.....all anyone talked about was the beating, forget the man was in a stolen car, speeding, running from the police with crack cocaine in his possession (probably high too) and refused to get on the ground when ordered multiple times by multiple officers. |

The girl may have made some mistakes but if the officer would have given her time to explain then he could have escorted her to the hosipital. No he says he did not believe her story, something he could have checked over the radio. Escort her to the hosiptal, if she lied then take her to jail. But what do you think she would feel if she finally arrived to find him dead. I'm sure [me included] have driven fast in an emergency than I would have normally. I have done before when time is limited. My brother got bite by a copperhead in the arm. I did what I had too to get him to the hosiptal. If a officer had stopped me, I would have to him I had an emergency and to meet me at the ER. I would expect for the officer to have some compassion.

I'm with you, Pie. If I were a cop that pulled a speeder over and was given an emergency case as the excuse, it doesn't take a psychic to read the look in their eye and know it is serious. It doesn't take much time or compassion to escort the person to the hospital to check things out. He is a public servant, for goodness sake! This cop obviously has an ego problem.
If I were this woman and this ignorant cop caused me to miss the death of a loved one, I would have his badge on my desk or his arm on my wall.

When a person is dealing with a life or death situation they don't think straight. We don't know if the father drove hisself.

From your first link.... Now I agree 100% the girl probably was not thinking straight, hence my comment about her getting behind the wheel in such an erratic state. However, that "shouldn't" excuse her for speeding and "running" from the police in a non emergency situation. |

>all anyone talked about was the beating,
Depends on what "anyone" you're talking about. It's all the Sharptons of the world talked about. Anybody with sense knew better. |
