If the 2 people that died hadn't been drinking, they would say, "hey, the one car just FLEW past the other car that looks like it's going normal speed... maybe I should wait a second before pulling out." The cop technically had the right of way, as the teens had the red and the cop had the yellow. Red is stop, yellow is caution... whether or not you're speeding.

But like I said, both parties are at fault, title it that way (Good joke, huh? Media showing things fairly... lol)
If you look closely in the video couple of the traffic lights are flashing, even the one that the accident occurs at. When you first begin watching the video, they pass the first traffic light and it looks like it just turned red and they fly by it. Also, before the accident, the officer should've stopped at the traffic light and then passed it with caution as it was flashing yellow. A flashing traffic light always means the traffic light is down and pass it with caution. Also, the two teens did right because it was flashing for them as well but I'm pretty sure they were not expecting the speed of the car coming towards them. If the officer had done that, he would've prevented all of this. That cop right there is definitely not the first cop that I have seen speed and have their lights off. The Lawrenceville Police Department does this shit whenever I see them. It's surely one of the dumbest things a cop can do. Not only do you endanger your life by speeding excessively but you also put other lives in danger, such as those two teens who died.

I can't really blame the two teens because had he drove the speed limit, this would've all been prevented. I'm sure lot of stories like these get covered up very often. I bet anything if there was no video here, there would be no charges pending on the officer and all the blame would've been on the two teens who were drunk.

I didn't see any other charges except manslaughter and reckless driving. Where is the laying drag, and the speeding? Another thing I didn't see is charges for the other officer. He was speeding as well.

I've read NUMEROUS street racing deaths with one driver killing was killed and the other was got charged with vehicular homicide and any other charges involving street racing. This guy gets two while the other officer gets none. There is so much slack cut on these two guys. It would be great if the other officer got charges because he is at fault just as much as the officer that plowed into the car.
