For not giving the right away and not clearing the intersection to on coming traffic before making a left. On coming traffic always has the right away no matter what speed is.
I know of a similar incident when a operator of a motorcycle was traveling approximately 100 mph on a 35 mph zone. When the motorcycle reached the intersection it T-boned a yellow cab that was making a left turn. The operator of the motorcycle died and the cab driver was hospitalized. In the end the cab driver was found at fault not the driver of the motorcycle and was issue a citation.
I'm not saying that the police officer should get away with killing those teens. But jail time is asking for to much. Being fired from the police force is devastating enough. He will never be able to make a decent living again. And would more than likely lose a civil law suit and find himself working for the victims family for the rest of his life, as he should.
But as I stated before this is one officers mistake. And should not reflect on or stereo type all law enforcement that wear the uniform with integrity.
