Unfortunately - Pedestrians near roads could be run over -- would bringing back horses be a logical alternative or does CBS want to turn this into a anti-cop thing?
-
There were three crashes in a single day that involved law enforcement vehicles. Maybe they should train their officers better how to drive at high speeds in populated areas when responding to calls.
-
Maybe if you were a cop trying to protect others and at times being shot at or seeing other people shot and killed you might be less harsh in your demands for perfection. Nobody intentionally would want to run anyone over unless they were a "zombie" or crazed.
-
I’m not demanding perfection. No one is perfect. But 3 accidents involving pedestrians in 24 hours seems excessive. I’m sure law enforcement address things internally that seem problematic all the time. Witch I think would make them even better at their very important job.
-
1.2 million cops nationwide plus another 400,000 in unmarked cars from various agencies on any given day. 200,000 car crashes per day and 101 deaths per day by non-law enforcement - a cop is killed every 58 hours by citizens. 125 suicides a day also & 1.6 mill murders a year
-
So only approximately 30 pedestrians/cyclists are killed by law enforcement every year nationally. That is around 2.5 per month nationwide. So 3 in one day in such a small area seems excessive compared to the national average is all I’m saying.
-
am sure the cops are devastated and might not be able to or want to ever drive a car again --- I know if I ran somebody over and they died I would never drive again
-
I’m sure they are as well. A high school friend of mine was with the MO State Hwy Patrol and hit someone. It was traumatic for him. That’s one of the reasons I think it’s important the officers in this area are getting proper training. It benefits everyone.

That is so so sad. There is never a time for anyone dying, but nearing the holidays is even worse. My condolences and much prayer to the family.
