        There are many people who drive through flooded streets. Some make it, some don't. I don't agree that she should be punished more than she already will be for the rest of her life. She made a horrible mistake. There are many who have made the same one-Have they all been arrested?

        So three people in total committed the same act which both times ended in a tragic loss of life. Yet only one is being charged?

        Two deputies who were transporting two mentally ill women in custody also drove around a barricade. The car was swept away, and the deputies could not free their charges to save them.

        Oh I 100 percent agree they should be charged as well. However they protect their own, so I don’t expect anything to come of it.

        Seems unnecessarily cruel. It was a terrible lapse in judgment but thinking she has probably suffered enough.

        If you want to arrest every person for making horrible mistakes, there will be a whole lot more people in prison than there already are. If you want to arrest people for driving on flooded streets, make it a crime.

        So, her son is ripped from her arms and dies and you are now going to put her in prison... Why do I think if this was a pretty white woman that wouldn't be the case?

        For those who don’t care to read the article. The mother was not “fleeing” the flood. She was trying to get to a store. The road she was on was closed by authorities. Ther was signs that said no entry. She went around. She drove in rushing water. Shes the reason her child is gone

        Trying to get to the store is also very rational. Trying to get supplies for your family isn't outrageous. It is very normal. It is what many people do, if you've never lived through a natural disaster it isn't surprising someone would make a poor choice.

        Trying to get to a store is rational. Trying to drive through rushing water is not. Any rational person would not have tried to drive over the bridge in a car. This was entirely preventable. She ignored warning signs and made an incredibly stupid decision.

        Two years ago a military vehicle flipped over and 9 soliders died. These were men who had lots of training. My point, criminally charging a woman for a mistake that many people make seems wasteful and a bit racist when the two other men were not charged with the same behavior.

        I don’t think a lot of people make this mistake. Sure people drive through floods but most don’t die doing it. Is this racist? Possibly, but that’s an entire different argument. And I entirely agree the other 2 officers should’ve been charged.

        I think a lot of people do make this mistake. I think it is similar to people who don't evacuate or fail to prepare properly. It will be interesting to see how this case unfolds. If anything, this is a teachable moment to heed warnings.

        The specifics of this case make the difference. The checklist of negligent things that she did leading up to this incident are probably what pushed them to press charges. Racism as well possibly but well never have any definite proof of that.
