...``everytime I think I'm out-they pull me back in!''
O.K.
Was the police officer responding to a call? Was he in a police car responding to an emergency?
That is probably why he was able to ONLY get 30 months -whatever he got.
The workmans comp is not an issue correct?
So, what you guys are most upset about is that the cop wasn't charged with manslaughter?
It is CLEARLY not manslaughter.
The officer was on duty and driving in a police car I believe and he was responding to a call, so if all that is correct-there can be no way he can be charged with a manslaughter charge.
Did he know that someone was already at the scene? I don't know if he did.
Was it stupid and dangerous that he was texting ? Yes.
Do civilians do it everyday and cause accidents everyday? Yes
Are those civilians charged on all those accidents they caused? No
Are all you cop haters here upset at that? No
If the cop had been off duty, in a civilian vehicle, driving and drinking and then he caused an accident or caused the death of those two girls under those cir stances-then he would have been charged with Voluntary manslaughter.
It was a tragic accident and it sucked that the cop showed such stupid unprofessionalism-but that is all that it is. It isn't some conspiracy --or some double standard that he got away because he's a cop--YOU guys all added that part because of your blatant hatred of law enforcement.
If you are honest-you will admit this.

You really are an idiot. Seriously, I have absolutely no respect for you left as a poster.
What if he drove through a playground while texting and hit 20 children, killing half of them?
Why does he get 30 months probation when his stupidity ended the lives of two innocent girls?
Almost as much of an idiot as you-because I actually took the bait and responded to your trolling.

But, to get back on topic...what if this what if that...what if my aunt had a penis-then she'd be my uncle...
He DIDN'T kill a bunch of kids in a playground, did he?
So why don't we stick to this scenario?
He was responding to a call---like I said---IF he was in a civilian vehicle and was also drunk---then YES---it would have been manslaughter.
But he was on duty and responding to an emergency, was he not?
If I have missed something, please enlighten me.
If all the facts are that he was responding to a call and he was on duty in a police cruiser--then all your bull theories go out the window because;
#1) the fact (if it is the case) that he was on duty and responding to a call--absolves him of going at a speed of 126 mph
#2) I don't know if Illinios has put into law anything against texting and driving---but if they haven't..then what would you charge him on? Stupidity?
(I did say that what he did was stupid and unprofessional but is that against the law?)
Was it tragic? Yes
No-one here has even tried to (intelligently) make a case for why he should be charged with manslaughter.
But you are upset at me because I gave you facts. I said it was tragic and he showed stupidity and unprofessionalism--and you attack me?
I have a question that is probably more important than this little scenario you dug up -just to hate on cops;
My question to you haters is why?
Why do you automatically read an article or catch some news and just hate on cops?
Why do you hate cops so much?
Is it that hard for you to fathom that it is just a job like any other and that human beings are good and bad in every career field?
Why the hatred hard on for cops?
Had a bad experience?
Got slammed to the ground a coupla times?
What gives?
I just re-read the OP posting and it confused me as I had not read it carefully the first time.
It appears that the cop pleaded guilty already and received 30 months probation. It appears that he also suffered severe leg injuries, lost his job, and now has a criminal record for pleading guilty in a criminal case.
So it seems to me that he pretty much went through all kinds of for his stupid mistake.
So , after having said all that, why the anger and rage from you guys?
The cop did NOT getaway with anything, yet you are all crying for MORE justice?
I don't get it.
It appears he changed his plea when it got to the civil trial--that SOUNDS ed up--but what would ANYONE do if faced with a future with no job, severe injuries and bleak prospects?
Wouldn't you try and get some kind of compensation wherever you could?
Wouldn't you ask a lawyer for advice on what to do and change your plea if the lawyer told you that might be your best bet?
I just don't get why you are all up in arms -even when the cop gets a pretty bad deal---not as bad a deal as the two dead sisters of course-but still...
he didn't just get away with it.
lol and there it is.
to me its simple. he killed two innocent girls. its manslaughter. simple as that.
that ing cop seriously had to have a problem going on in his head to be hauling ass like that and texting.
No.
It was actually worse than manslaughter. I think he pled guilty to reckless homicide and reckless driving.
So he has a criminal record and should not be working as a cop anywhere in the U.S.
So he pretty much sealed his own fate.
Too bad about the victims-nothing will bring them back.
Civilians also aren't hypocritical s sucking pigs who pretend that they wanna "protect and serve." This worthless donut eating did the exact opposite of protect and serve, he killed. I hope he gets sodomized to death in prison.
WHAT. THE. . Back in 2005 I got a year probation for some pot. That's only year and a half less than this cop got for ----->KILLING TWO GIRLS<-----. Plus he might get some free cash? Unbelievable.
What silver also hasn't mentioned was that help was already there.
Why is he going 126MPH if help is already at the scene and he's coming simply to assist? Seems like overkill to me.
O.K.
You hate cops and nothing will change that. Fair enough.
And...If you read the news clip-you would see that he got probation, so he won't do prison time.
If and when a cop goes to prison, they are separated from the general population-so as to avoid something like that happening.
So much for your little fantasy.
I don't know where you guys developed your reading comprehension, but in case you missed it-WHAT. THE. . Back in 2005 I got a year probation for some pot. That's only year and a half less than this cop got for ----->KILLING TWO GIRLS<-----. Plus he might get some free cash? Unbelievable.
It was a IN' ACCIDENT!
Ever hear of that-yeah an accident.
Yes, he was stupid and made a huge mistake-unlike anyone here who I am sure has never driven and used a cell phone or god forbid-driven and texted someone.
Hopefully, at least, some of you will take this as a heads up to drive a little more carefully.
And the free cash is something that you or anyone is en led to if they are injured at work.
Workers comp is a protection-for businesses/employers to prevent employees from suing for the accidents they have while working.
But you hate cops too, so all this is just pissing in the wind.
Another genius-or in your case--jenius.
Yes, help was already there-but of course the slanted article never states that the cop KNEW that help was already there...but why try to give him credit for anything-when you can just hate on the cop too, like everyone else here in this herd.
I have NEVER driven 126 mph in MY LIFE. Do you have any idea how ing dangerous that is even when you're focused on this road, even when you ARE trained to do so?
This ASSHOLE was driving almost THREE TIMES THE SPEED LIMIT
WHILE
TEXTING
AND USING HIS COMPUTER.
I don't drive and text, to say NOTHING of driving and texting while moving at 1/6th the speed of sound.
55 mph and texting? Stupid but relatively acceptable, the girls probably wouldn't be dead. 126mph and focused on the road? Relatively acceptable, since he's a cop and he's trained for high speed pursuit, although why he needs to be going that fast to a scene that emergency personnel has already arrived at is highly questionable.
HE KILLED TWO GIRLS BECAUSE HE WAS DRIVING 126 MPH AND TEXTING. And now he's going to get money for wrecking the lives of a family due to his needless stupidity.
Are we clear now?

Resulting tragedies from texting at 126mph are not "accidents" in any way, shape, or form. And there is no way in the world you can justify that as such or convince a rational, responsible adult otherwise.
And I don't hate cops, I just hate that one.
His job is hard.
I don't hate cops like a lot of people do; shoot, I defend them in here on a fairly regular basis - but, in all honesty, here it is: Probation and loss of his job for killing two people in the manner that he did, however unintentional, is not justice. It is heinously unjust. He hasn't known a fraction of the " " that the family of the girls has known (and will know for the rest of their lives) and true justice would be to make him experience his own personal for the rest of his life, however long that may be.
Got it. In your world, "an accident" resolves the person of all responsibility or punishment. And don't start with "30 months probation is punishment". That's a ing slap on the wrist. He's obviously really broken up about the situation, considering he wants to get paid for his idiocy.
To quote Hot Fuzz, accident implies that there is nobody to blame. That cop is to blame.
But he didn't mean to hurl his 126 mph car into those two girls
He only did because he was texting
Haven't you guys ever driven 126 mph while texting?
It's just an accident! His life is ruined! He might have to watch Sportscenter for the next 5 years on his workman's comp!But he didn't mean to hurl his 126 mph car into those two girls

Haven't you guys ever driven 126 mph while texting?
Yeah, it's the media that's turning the public against this poor civil servant.
Let me guess--the fact that you got busted for doing something illegal and got caught...WHAT. THE. . Back in 2005 I got a year probation for some pot. That's only year and a half less than this cop got for ----->KILLING TWO GIRLS<-----. Plus he might get some free cash? Unbelievable.
is someone else's fault?
This is a justifiable reason for you to be a cop hater?
Did any cop have anything to do with you deciding to break the law?
Do you think that maybe YOU have some responsibility here?
Well , you apparently don't think the cop that flew his car into two girls because he was texting shouldn't be responsible.
IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!
Find the post where I said the cop was not responsible and you WON'T look like a in' idiot for speakin out yer ass.Well , you apparently don't think the cop that flew his car into two girls because he was texting shouldn't be responsible.

Many times I said he pled guilty of reckless homicide --meaning he was guilty.
How does that equate to me saying that he was not responsible?
Dumbfux like you make it way too easy. Loser.
