Franklin Township, NJ– A 10 year old boy was struck an killed on Sunday evening by a speeding police vehicle as he walked to his friend’s house for a sleepover. The officer was reportedly responding to a call and did not have his lights on when he hit the boy in front of the child’s two young friends. The boy was pronounced dead on the scene around 7pm. As of Sunday evening, the child’s name has not been released to the public. His friends were not injured. A witness and family members assert that the officer did not have on his lights or sirens as he traveled at fast speeds, NBC reports. Lights and sirens serve as a warning to the public to be cautious, not using them endangers the communities that the police claim to protect. “This is all a big crew of friends,” said a woman who identified herself as a family friend told NJ.com. “Nothing will ever be the same again.” The police officer was also taken to a local hospital, although it is still currently unclear if he was injured. Gloucester County Chief of Detectives John Porter has offered condolences to the family and says the accident is currently under investigation with an autopsy scheduled for Monday. This death, while a tragic accident and not a cold blooded killing like what we saw in the case of 12 year old Tamir Rice- killed immediately without warning by police as he played with a toy gun in a park, is still an example of reckless police forces acting without regard for others.

Amazing conclusion, especially with few facts available.
The facts, as stated, were that he did not have his lights and siren on. He ran over a young boy and killed him. This falls into one of two categories: 1) The officer really was heading to an urgent call, but failed to turn on the lights and sirens. In this case, the officer was willfully negligent and caused reckless endangerment. Both have homicide charges, typically manslaughter. 2) The officer was not on an urgent call but speeding. In this case, the police department has perpetrated a fraud on the public and the officer has committed vehicular manslaughter. Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state. They will believe this until it happens to them, or their children, or their friends.

Better to slip him some iocaine powder than debate the old fool, he's in charge of the rules committee at the discourse club. Facts and logic are futile.

Correct. Cop error in either case. “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken
Cop error and a little kid dead, probably because the cop was late for his donut break.

We had a similar situation a number of years ago. Cop ran a red light at a very high rate of speed and killed a 17 year old girl, in her car, who went to our church. She had the right of way. Eventually, the family received an undisclosed settlement. I forget what happened to the deputy sheriff. A lot of it was hush hush to the local populace.
I'll bet it involved a bunch of Masons.

It appears to be another example of the the erosion of standards that municipalities & cities employ in order to achieve the proper mix of misfits. I'm at a loss as to how the politics of diversity & multiculturalism have missed the spotlight of some. an example of reckless police forces acting without regard for others.

When exceeding the posted speed, aren't cops supposed to have lights going, and sirens when approaching an intersection?

Absolutely, providing they are fluent in English. Look at who was assassinated in NYC - Officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu. When I started out in that very pct. in 1968 the names likely would have been Kelly & Palumbo. Liu was born in China and Ramos was a school crossing guard prior to finally passing the test at 38 y/o. The test & physical they passed is like everything else when compared to the same thing 45 years ago; dumbed down for the purpose of diversity. It's impossible for me not to see what has happened and I get that the general public doesn't, but sometimes it's important to take a step back and try & understand how we have gotten to where we are.

I'll just say it: when straight, white, Christian males are not in charge, things go to shit in a hurry.

I don't know but I do know that he should have been more careful and, if he thought he needed to drive like a bat out of hell he should have had his lights on at the very least.

It has not been missed by me. At some point it really doesn't matter who poached the frog in the pot, it's starting to stink and more and more people are noticing, but nobody wants to bury the frog and wash the pot, then kill or exile the SOB's that put the frog in the pot. I'm at a loss as to how the politics of diversity & multiculturalism have missed the spotlight of some.

Yes, as in it makes enormous sense to kill the welfare state rather than the revenuers it hires. They can and will be replaced, and if need be, buttressed by our central government. but nobody wants to bury the frog and wash the pot, then kill or exile the SOB's that put the frog in the pot.

When I started out in that very pct. in 1968 the names likely would have been Kelly & Palumbo. So with Micks and Wops things were great, eh? Now with Chinks and Spics everything has gone to hell. I had to look up the appropriate spelling for those: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lis...ethnic_slurs_by_ethnicity I thought immigration was one thing that made this country great. Look at who was assassinated in NYC - Officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu.

That was a hundred years ago. Not so much today. I thought immigration was one thing that made this country great.

Now with Chinks and Spics everything has gone to hell. It appears you missed the point about the dilution of standards over the decades, but that doesn't surprise me. So with Micks and Wops things were great, eh?

I disagree with you. Many segments of ethnic immigrants 100+/- years ago were discriminated against - for their ethnicity. How many Jews can fit in a VW Beetle? We all thought that was hilarious. I heard this one as a kid. p.s. If I'm confusing race with ethnicity please don't shoot me. Cheers.

Of course they were hammered when they arrived, but, they sucked it up, assimilated as Americans, and succeeded on their own, and their kids did even better. They didn't need any affirmative action, or any other fedgov bs to help them live here and thrive. (Yes, we all know how many jews can fit in an ash tray, thanks)

Clearly there are a lot o f Seal Teams Six wanabes in our police departments. Big egos, big guns, and itchy trigger fingers are everywhere. A lot of these guys crave the action – gun action, killing action! Sorry but a lot of cops are in love with themselves and each other. They live in their own little macho sub culture. p.s. The NY mayor said the truth to his son. Those loud mouth union leaders need to apologize.

If the communist s'bag deBlasio is concerned about Dante's safety around the NYPD he should relieve the detail of detectives who are assigned to protect his little mulatto ass, 24x7x365. p.s. The NY mayor said the truth to his son. Those loud mouth union leaders need to apologize.

You mean that women can be cops, firemen, soldiers, etc. these days? Okay, you might have a point. That Hispanic TSA woman who gave me the bossy orders should be deported IMO. She put me in that scanner that sees me naked. I think she really liked me until she saw the image.

Yeah, and he should fire all those who are protecting him and his son. That'll show 'em! p.s. The NY mayor said the truth to his son. Those loud mouth union leaders need to apologize.

Yes, I did. And what does that have to do with DeBlasio being a hypocrite? I think he and Obama and everyone who thinks like they do should fire all the security people who carry those evil guns around them, the ones Obama said "don't protect us." Did you ever see that meme of Obama saying that while he was surrounded by secret service agents with fully automatic machine guns? Didn't you post this thread???
