That's a load of horseshit. The responsibility for his death lies solely with the dumb **** who pulled a gun out and took his life. He didn't do one single thing to precipitate that action.

I just don't think he deserved to be shot at for that. I'd rather law enforcement watch a shitty but otherwise harmless lowlife run off into the night than take the change of accidentally killing him over a stupid vehicle emissions sticker.

Fact is, he took off, so isn't that probable cause for the officer to chase? |

I'm not saying he deserved it by any means, but I have no sympathy for him nor will I be outraged if the cop doesn't do life in prison over this.

Do drugs= You may OD Flunk out of school= Poor job Ask for directions in East St Louis= No tires Eat Asparagus= stinky pee But I don't think you do (or reasonably should) expect Flee from the cops= Shot to death. I don't think it should even come close to being an expectation. So yeah, in a broad sense, every decision we make is responsible for everything that happens, as in my story you quoted. But I don't think it's a terribly meaningful or interesting thing to bring up in this particular case, unless you are trying to (in the tiniest of ways) claim that the cop wasn't completely wrong. |

"'The emissions sticker on David Kassick's car was expired.
That's what first caught the attention of Lisa Mearkle, a police officer in Hummelstown Borough, Pennsylvania" http://www.cnn.com/2015/03/25/us/pen...icer-arrested/

Not sure why the cop chased him in the first place. Maybe she thought the car was stolen or something.

The cop overacted, but the world has one less idiot out there breathing my air.
