I read a Facebook comment from a woman who was a firefighter with search & rescue as well as high water rescue experience. She said she wouldn’t have been comfortable going in the pond either.

Perhaps I haven’t searched hard enough, but I don’t think anyone is saying they deserved to die because they ran from cops. They died because they made a mistake. You can’t blame the officers for not risking their lives to save theirs. Police have an obligation to do whatever they can within reasonable limits, but…

“Deputies went to the home of Kristine Hayes, Miller’s grandmother, who had legal guardianship of the teen, on the morning of March 31. Upon hearing what had happened, Hayes was “extremely emotional and visibly shaken,” investigative documents say.

It's relevant when a family is trying to smear the police department and their deaths were in the commission of a crime.

I guess it’s only a matter of time before an actual one in a million case comes up...

Want to bring up to everyone that this is in Florida, in a murky pond, at night, right after a big water-disturbing commotion.

All choices have consequences.
