What's Up Dirty? Plus I realize you are from the ultra liberal california...LOL so the Mid West Conserveative Oaklohama......and CA are drastic differences....!!!But

1. Caps....is usually me being lazy, not feeling like making the proper punctuations and capitalizations in my writing.

2. Yes, He should, Just because he didn't cause the crash directly, his actions which initiated this entire incident as a whole indirectly caused the crash...hence the 2nd degree murder charge....which states something like:

-When committed by a person engaged in the perpetration of, or in the attempt to perpetrate, any: unlawful killing of a human being, when perpetrated by any act imminently dangerous to another and evincing a depraved mind regardless of human life, although without any premeditated design to effect the death of any particular individual, is murder in the second degree and constitutes a felony of the first degree, punishable by imprisonment for a term of years not exceeding life or as provided in....

(b) Drives at high speed, or in any manner which demonstrates a wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property, and causes serious bodily injury or death to another person, including any law enforcement officer involved in pursuing or otherwise attempting to effect a stop of the person's vehicle, commits a felony of the first degree, punishable as provided in s.

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the court shall sentence any person convicted of committing the offense described in this paragraph to a mandatory minimum sentence of 5 years imprisonment. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a court from imposing a greater sentence of incarceration as authorized by law.


3. Your comments about the cop's driving, the crash and his experience are totally improper and have no factual basis for your opinion....and read alittle about thecop before you make a statememt...
- A 10 year Sgt...likely has more experience and training than most people in their driving.....
- The truck driver who directly caused the crash is wrong and will likely face some charges....

4. Understand the charge of Murder and all of it's degrees....Hence 2nd degree and each crime has a minium and maxium penalty so.....45 years is steep and unfortunate for the criminal but the Law has different terms in different states....OK wants to call/classify this crime as Murder 2nd Degree...Thats how the state works....and Most states are identical...In Florida there are many different terms used for these type of offenses but All the Penalty's for crimes are very clear....I added up the penalty's here in Fl and he would have received between 30 and 35 years here...serving 85% in Prison!!!!!

The Law sucks at times and we all may not realize the potential consequenses of our actions but mabee we all learn something.....and think twice before going high speed......

DirtyToes

frankie, first off, all those things i listed were "possibilities", i never said that the cop didn't know how to drive, i said that those could've been other possibilities. and unless the trucker ran a red light, it was sort of the officer's fault as well, i'm sure that at police academy, they teach you to look both ways before crossing an intersection goin a 100mph.

you can't expect everyone to see/hear you with ur seirens/lights on....just like you can't expect everyone to see u when you're lane splittin on ur bike!

now let me ask you a simple question...

honestly, do you OR do you not think that this guy should spend 45 years in prison?

BOB WITTMAN

that sucks but if the rider died cause he was being chased the cop wouldnt have went to jail!!!


lesson learned............ dont turn yourself in!!!

BOB WITTMAN

i didnt read anywhere that said the rider actuaully stole the bike??
he should have never purseud..
in pa there is a 88mph ending! they are supposed to stop.. it takes away the thrill.... everyone has there own opinion!!

adr3naline fix

ya lucky bastard. its like 115 or 119mph here. (or so I heard)

Not like that really makes a differance but it IS another gear.

FrankieG

Here is a paragraph from the news on the incident!!!

Yes the Trucker did run a red light!!!!


"A witness said the pickup drove through a red light before the crash, and left the scene after the accident, according to Lt. Nathan Pyle. The driver of the pickup was later located by police and is cooperating in the investigation. His identity was not released and police said a decision has not been made on whether he'll face charges."


45 yrs is a lot, but like I stated before he would have received 30+ years in FL! So either way the best part of his life is over!

Corny

45-50 years for stealing a motorcycle.

Would lower insurance premiums. R.I.P to the officer.

DrasticDan

Who go's threw an intersection at 108mph?

And if the truck didn't run the red light he wouldn't have had to swerve and crash.
He committed a traffic violation and cause of that the cop died? Do's that not bring charges?

But i kind of understand but not really the committing the felony and fleeing causing someones death charge.




And i do remember the cop dieing here in fl chasing the bike. I drove by the wreck on my way to lakeland to ride that day from jacksonville.I was like holy ****. Didn't know what it was till i got home and saw it on stuntlife.

alevelcs

had a much longer reply typed out and my comp locked up


all ill really say is that u have to be kidding me........ if he didnt steal it he bought it stolen ...... and if he didnt know it was stolen when he bought it...... well...... hes a moron and probably should be "naturally selected" ..... be realistic here............ and guess what...... not all states have no chase laws....... the cop was doing his job and it cost him his life..... the moron on the bike made a decision to commit a felony ........ any crime committed during the act of a felony crime is charged as intent to commit...... its called transfered intent and its a good law....... he had full intent to run and try to get away........ he had full intent to ride a stolen bike (and probably stole it) ....... when he made those decisions with intent he caused a man to die......... transferring the intent to the death of the officer. nevermind the fact that he should be charged with at minimum reckless endangerment for putting the passenger at risk.

DBOUNCE1

well anyway about ti's a bad deal

f4idad

everyone has there own opinion here so i guess i can add mine
the kid on the bike should get involuntary manslughter for being the cause of the chase that killed the cop
and the truck driver should get 2nd degree manslaughter for running a red light and being the direct cause of the accident that took the cops life

crowspeed07

He has 45 years to sit thier thinking why did i turn myself in?

BonZipper

Im trying to look at this from both sides, but its hard because I think a lot of us already have a negative bias towards the police, myself included.

I truly believe most cops are ********, and I would be willing to bet that this cop was probably going out of his way to be the "hero" and take down, in his mind, this insane motorcycle theif. And well, this thinking ended up causing him to get himself killed. He is a dumbass.

But...

To try and defend the long sentencing, the guy was on a stolen motorcycle and he did try to run. He is a moron and now he's facing the consequences. If you don't want to risk going to jail, don't ride a stolen motorcycle. Its as simple as that. An earlier post said the guy has had previous trouble with the law. So, maybe he shouldn't be on the streets because he's going to continue this same behavior. Who knows? But one things for sure, both of their lives are over.

Just thought I would throw in my 2 cents.

mxracer95

Bad deal. All this does is further prove police are infallible and blameless for anything that happens. It further separates them from the citizens and raises them to status of Kings or Emperors. It makes citizens further fear police and less likely to cooperate with them. It creates greater animosity between citizens and police.

I don't see how justice has been served. The world is not safer because this rider is off the streets. However, I would argue that the world is safer without this careless, selfish, reckless, trigger-happy cop on the streets.

pgpaintballer77

totally agree with you

poorkid

I don't like bike theifs and cops are *** holes but do their job for the most part. 45 years is unjust. The biker shouldn't have stolen a bike and ran, the truck driver should have been paying attention. The cop should have been more cautious (I think the cop was also being wreckless) everyone loses bad deal

Bibo

45 years is crazy. Thats bullshitt

FrankieG

Who do you all call when your bike get stolen???? HMMMMM!!! After we post it on stunt life and every other forum...the POLICE ARE CALLED!! And you HOPE to god they find it if you don't have insurance...like in FL it's not required....

When they find your bike their great We thank them up and down!!!!!! >>>But Here is a situation where I hate Bike Thieves 10X more than any ******* cop!

I for one want that ******* COP trying to apprehend the bike theif (Trying 100%) and get my shizzle back....Then when the ******* is arrested we all know him and his circle of friends who!!!! Are likely stealing more and more parts and bikes!

ALEVELCS GOOD WORDS!!!
