News story
A Porsche and a Suzuki are racing, the cop chases them, the cop has a blowout and dies in the ensuing crash, the Porsche guy gets away clean, the Suzuki guy gets caught, the Suzuki guy is up for manslaughter & homicide on the cop's death.

I feel badly for the cop, as he was just doing his job, but I think manslaughter charges are a bit drastic.![]()
Civil suit on the tire company....lots more $$$.
I wonder if he even saw the cop. Sounds like he just kept on his way and then got arrested later that day.
"You never see a motorcycle parked outside of a psychiatrists office"
hope he has a good lawyer...hes gonna need one!
What did the five fingers say to the face? SLAP------BITCH
that's exactly why in alot of states they don't want cops chasing bikes... a motorcycle chase is a SHITLOAD more likely to end in death... get a plate if you can then stop the chase.
it's a shame the cop died, but c'mon... Highsider's right. go after the tire manufacturer, they're supposed to have vehicles that are able to do shit like that. I can see why they charged the guy on the bike, but c'mon...
he better get cleared of the manslaughter charges cuz that's bullshit

The cop made a conscious decision to assume the risk of high speed pursuit, therefore the motorcyclist is not at fault IMO.
No, Donny, these men are nihilists. There's nothing to be afraid of.

just how did the officer suffer this blow out? hit a curve? was the tire bald? i've seen many a beat to shit cruiser with bald tires. how fast was the cop going? what kind of road? this dude needs to get a good lawyer and ask these questions.
i'm sorry for the cop and his family but you persue two vehicles way out of your league in your crown vic your taking a big risk to yourself and the public. what happened to calling on the radio and getting other units involved for a road block?
....so..what if u are speeding..u see the blue lights,turn off for the po po, and for some unknown reason the police car has some kind of mishap,,,that means u are responsible for his mishap?.......,,,i know its a "stretch" but WTF?
the problem is.... we as a society have voted in representatives that have passed laws that
1 give an elevated value of life for cops over ordinary people
2 made it illegal to have "hate" thoughts
3 given an elvated value oflife for children over adults
etc.
NEXT TIME YOU VOTE, PAY ATTENTION
