Hey, I don’t like BHO either but that was just plain immature.

"Who ties their shoe in the middle of the road?"

The same self-centered moron that slows to a crawl in the left lane because he/she can't read a street sign and is indecisive as to where to turn. The same self-centered witch that stops with their shopping cart in the middle of the grocery store aisle. The same self-centered idiots that ride their bicycles in large packs on well-traveled streets, the same self-centered dope that stops in the midde of a busy sidewalk to answer his cell-phone...

There is a certain type of person who just loooves to saunter slowly across a road when a car is coming, as if daring the driver to hit them. Sometimes, they do.

LOL, reminds me of the three kids in our old neighborhood. Each about 11 to 13 years old, coming of age as it were. Young black kids with no dads, always hanging out doing nothing.

I used to drive down the road and they would be walking out in the middle of the street and would slowly ease over just off the center to one side and just dare you to hit them. I pulled up behind them one day and laid on the horn, cussing them out to no end. They crapped themselves. After that, I’d come down the street and they immediately jump to the side and I’d drive by, smile and wave. They’d do the same. All’s well that ends well... ;-)

Well i can’t believe how people are trying to attack this officer. Chances are everyone who has made their little comments attacking him were not there. I was. It was not the cops fault and the people involve are not telling the truth. Look how many times their story has changed. It went from “oh he fell and was laying in the road” to “he was bending over to tie his shoe” to “he was just crossing the street”. Not every accident can be avoided. If they could then you would never hear stories of people getting hit by other civilians, and you would never see dead animals on the side of the road. I saw the friend get tasered and he never tried to give CPR or even touch the body. He was in the other police officers faces yelling and screaming at them. I saw them check for a pulse, and it was a Minerva park cop which they were at the corner of Westerville Rd. and Minerva Park so he was very much in his jurisdiction. Everyone needs to stop listening to what the news is saying because Bobacks friends did not tell what really happened. The cop was a cop for 5 years not six months. There was never any suspicion that the officer smelled like booze. So my advice to everyone is... If you dont know the whole story then learn it before you judge other people. i don’t know either family involved but i do know the truth and the truth is not being told.

Yeah but no one has mentioned at all that the entire group was drunk off their A$$...Boback was not tying his shoe he was laying in the middle of the street on purpose. It was just a bunch of ignorant people acting stupid. Can you imagine what the police officer is going through, he killed somebody and has to deal with it. Why should he lose his job over someone being ignorant. Do not drink to that point!
