14 miles per hour = 20.5 feet per second. Still not enough time if the car’s five feet away, but I suppose they’re saying he could have moved before that point.
“maybe you just one of those back seat drivers huh?”
In case you didn’t notice, I am on the side of the officer who is being charged by some sorry prosecutor. I know what all of you out there defending us do - a really super job. How do I know that? My son is one of you, a man who wears a badge proudly, who works with the community, who helps keep the peace and protect the rest of us. Before that he wore the uniform of the US Marines and served from the Far East to the Middle East.
I know too about prosecutors like the one there in Atlanta who, for whatever reason, probably for votes and who knows what else, is out to persecute this officer. It is no different than what Nifong tried to do to the LaCross players in the Carolinas. I see something similar happening to some officers closer to home here.
I suggest next time you read the replies and the links in the thread before blasting away.
