    two wrongs, teens were fucking stupid for drinking/driving. Cop needs to be punished regardless for travelling at 100mph for no reason, if he was going the speedlimit i'd be willing to bet at least one of those kids would be alive if not both seeing he could have braked and swerved and probably missed them.

    Of course I own this.

    I usually say fuck the police in most situations as well, but you can tell the kids weren't paying attention. They could of easily of seen the cop cars coming from that distance. Some people just don't have and depth perception these days I guess.
    You know better; next time will be a ban.

    I hope you get demolished by a drunk driver, while you're speeding, but not die.


    See how your opinion changes.

    PS. I'd never really wish that on someone, but seriously? Driving drunk, but the speeding cop means they have no fault? GTFO.

    I wonder if I would have been able to judge better?
    I dunno. Cause I don't know what a car traveling towards you at 100mpg looks like.
    I have no fucking clue.

There's no reason to say it's all the cops fault, just because two people died. 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.

    That's pretty fucked to say after just hearing the news that no blood alcohol level was reported for the two teens. The only report of them drinking is the guy who had the party said they appeared tipsy. Anyone can appear tipsy, high, in pain, whatever it is. Even the news reports they were drunk but they have not received the blood alcohol level of the two teens. How can say someone was drunk with no actual evidence other than them drinking couple of beers and appearing tipsy. Just because one said they chugged couple of beers doesn't mean they chugged a whole case of beer.

    Maybe it's cause I'm 20 and it's sad to imagine losing one of peers because of something like this. Or a year ago being buried 6 ft under like those two. 19 is toooooo young man.

    So you continue driving when all the traffic lights are down and don't let anyone pass at a full intersection?

    Oh and....2009 Georgia Driver's manual, page 74:

    If a traffic signal is not functioning at an intersection, all drivers must treat the intersection as if a stop sign is posted for all directions. If a traffic signal is malfunctioning and flashing, drivers must proceed based on the color of the flashing signal they are facing: if the driver is facing a yellow flashing signal, the driver may proceed with caution; if the driver is facing a red flashing signal, the driver must stop and wait until it is safe to proceed.

    You've never seen an intersection with flashing lights, that are intended to be flashing?


    If you have an intersection, with flashing yellow lights and flashing red lights, it's generally because one way has a stop sign (hence the flashing red) and the other way is cautioned by a flashing yellow light.

    There's a few around here. So, yes, I do.

    Well I'm just looking at the video and it looks like couple of them are down and the officers just fly by them with no intention of proceeding them with caution.

    From my experience of 30+ tickets, normally the teens would be at fault because they turned in front of the officer. Even though he was speeding, they caused the accident. He could of been going the speed limit and they still could of turned in front of him.

    Either way, crazy stuff. I was on I-75 south the other day and a cop flew by me in the fast lane doing about 90-100. I can't remember the county, but it was a sheriff from some county in GA I have never heard of. He passed me in Marietta.

    dude i aint saying it wasnt partially the kids fault but the cops were speeding through lights they should have taken it cautiously through there but they didnt and now they have to live with the fact they killed two teens they could have calculated it but they took caution not them

    IF the cop was traveling at a reasonable speed like the goddamn limit, they might have amde that turn and been safe. MIGHT have not even gotten a ticket. were they right cuz they were drunk? NO. the cop has no reason for leniency either. there was no emergency and his lights werent on. so why the hell is he doing well over the speed limit on surface streets? to race his buddy? He deserves NO JOB IN LAW ENFORCEMENT EVER. He gets a chance to mend his stupidity while two teens are dead with no chance.

    this dickhead is speeding for no reason and yall are happy the teens are dead.
    FUCK THIS WORLD.
