112723 HPD PURSUIT AND FATAL CRASH

[@firemarshal17]

Increasing the penalties does nothing if prosecutors make deals for reduced charges and judges give bullshit sentences.

[@thomasd9237]

Precisely. That includes jury trials now days. Total pointless waste of time. The jury hasn't even left the building & the lawyers are already filing motions & arguments. I despise lawyers

I agree with increasing penalties for dangerous fleeing. The calculation used in sentencing should add penalties for every minute of the chase and every infraction.

[@broeheemed32]

No need to describe the carjacker. We know.

[@1982MCI]

There was no carjacker involved!!

[@gsdalpha1358]

Saw it was a Kia and figured it was stolen. The other car was probably stolen too. Suspects were driving without regard for life before the pursuit. Even if police had stopped the pursuit, the racers would've kept driving recklessly. If the arrested teen is a juvenile, is he just going to get a slap on the ross and released? Thank you to all LEOs for your service.

@@billwilson6725 Ok, thank you. I head the killed rider was 19, but just heard "juvenile" on the Kia driver.

[@billwilson6725]

@@gsdalpha1358 yeah, he had mispoke a couple times. He even referred to the motorcycle rider as the suspect once. He corrected the age once he started taking questions. I may have mis-heard the way he said the age the first time its mentioned. If he's over 16, he should be tried as an adult. speaking from someone that was t-boned on a motorcycle by a full size truck.

[@originalthreebeard]

The juvenile driver of the stolen Kia has earned himself the right to be treated as an adult. He will end up in TDCJ custody. A life sentence would be appropriate, with possible parole in 35 - 40 years.

[@logicdictates4me]

If you steal a car and run from police at a dangerous high rate of speed, then it should be a 5 year sentance period. No early releases. If these punks think stealing cars and fleeing from police is a game , then 5 years of your life is no big thing. I'm guessing stealing cars will go down if they change the law ASAP.

I finally donated my motorcycle to charity. Watched as it disappeared down the driveway, riding on a flatbed. Next day, I was on the scene of a biker killed by a car pulling out of a driveway. I had always feared the oncoming left turn, which later took my first Mini as a beginner made a blind left turn.

Raising the penalties for such behavior/crime is a damn good idea. But it will have no effect until you make every driver under 50yo aware of those penalties.

[@lookingbehind6335]

Still will not matter. In case everyone missed it, criminals don’t care about penalties or laws.

Children or young adults either way you will know if your child is still a child, or if he is mature enough to be an a young adult. If he is a young adult and does this then jail time is in order. If he was still mentally a child he never ever never have drove the parent makes that decision. Parents start making the right decisions.

[@HugsBach]

Justice for the innocent

[@500erider]

The suspect would have likely slowed down before he hit that intersection, if the police hadn't chosen to chase him. It's just a fact. I'm sick of hearing law enforcement officials say that it is extremely dangerous for civilians to speed, but will chase someone for speeding, or a stolen vehicle, at speeds exceeding 140 mph, for miles and miles, and believe that their own speeding is not a hazard to the public. For a subject that has a kidnap victim in the car, or to chase a murder suspect, I can see it, but not for this. The kid lost his life over a BS chase, that should have been aborted. An Arkansas state trooper just killed a motorcyclist a short time ago, chasing a suspect at a high rate of speed. The poor man on the motorcycle never even saw it coming. And, a Sheriff's deputy t-boned and killed an elderly couple crossing an intersection, while chasing a suspect near my hometown, just this year. He was going 80 + in a 45 mph zone, in town traffic. In these cases, it's not worth it, and it's wrong.

[@wazzazone]

Throw away the key.

[@michaeljuarez3355]

Police shudndt render aid to these people who commit these crimes.....

[@JamesAllmond]

Was whatever this kid was wanted for (racing, so the cops basically joined in, right) worth the life of the guy on the bike? I doubt his family thinks so. Note my avatar, that sort of thing is rather personal to me. Once you get the tag number and any video, the reason for the chase is moot. Stop high speed chases.

[@Ray-xc1nm]

They should not be chasing at high speeds most big police departments have air units that can follow & most do not get away .
