This has been a sad story here.  They just announced this afternoon that they cought the guy.  He was a member of the local stunting group.  They have a website which has been shut down today.  We were on just before it shut down.  What a bunch of punks.  FTP and all that.  Well, I guess they succeeded.[/url]

This is sad, very sad.

But, I must say that the officer was at least a little bit at fault here.  And I would have to agree with the riders attorney, that the kid didn't know he was being chased.  He was riding at night at over 100mph.  That converts to 146.6 feet per second, so say by the time the officer, reacted, then slowed, made a u-turn, and accelerated (and full size SUV's don't exactly accelerate quickly!)I would have to assume at least 20-30 seconds passed in this time before the officer was truly in pursuit, if this is the case then that bike would have been over 4400 feet away, thats more than 3/4 of a mile away!  Practically out of sight!  So the trooper apparantly drove a 6000 lb. SUV beyond its, and the troopers abilities, lost control and wrecked, and was unfortunately killed.

This isn't to say that the kid isn't in the wrong here, but this is ridiculous.  By this same logic, if I were to be pulled over for say not wearing a seatbelt, and the cop used poor judgement in darting out in front of traffic and was injured or killed , then would I be charged with manslaughter?

Folks, this is absurd!  There is an assumed risk with any job, and that officer simply should have used better judgement,  but I guess this goes with our "it's never your own fault, always blame someone else mentality!"

I don't know that the fact he was riding a motorcycle means anything, or have an impact on 'motorcylist's image'.  

We see "Cops" and all the other reality video shows every night with dozens of videos of moronic teenagers driving 100mph in a car to elude police.

Bikes are so prevalent nowadawys that it's kind of like saying the KKK gives all whites a bad image.

Or a Murano!!!! Some one has to say enough is enough! But i would say they must know where they live! Got to be a better way to enforce the rules.. I just can't see how someone on a modern bike these days would be @ break neck speed of 90+! achieved in like in N York heart beat! Had he maintained it for miles? was it repeatedly done in say 35 mph posted limits? :duh:  :boohoo:  :beers:

GM makes a special Police Tahoe. It is not slow and it holds the road better than alot of sports cars. I tested one at the Indy 500 track a couple of years ago. We get the cool rides because you generous citizens buy them for us. :thanks:

The road where this happened is pretty twisty.
