It doesn't look like in the video they even tried to slow to turn. It's almost like they weren't looking at all. I'm not trying to judge because I wasn't there ,but I'm going off of what I see in the video and that's all any of us have to go off of.
The cop clearly has blame also ,but I think not most of it.
From what I read on this forum I think if it would have been some joe in a camaro on not a cop, a lot more people on here would have put the blame on the kids for turning in front of him.
You say the cop clearly has the blame, but not most of it? I don't get the "clearly" and then the "but not most of it" part of that sentence... Please explain how any part of this involves the two teenagers doing anything wrong? Cop A breaking the speed limit by over 20mph...Cop B flies by presumably breaking the speed limit by 40mph or more and hits the teenagers. Both cops lost the "right of way" the moment the speed limit was broken with no sirens or emergency call.
