Your years of driving a pizza through that checkpoint come with research data on all the other checkpoint participants? And did you not just admit it was an assumption? You know what they say about assuming...
People are only replying to you because your comment made it seem like you believe there cannot be women or…

I feel like you should just reread my first comment and it already answers everything you said...
Again:
-Its NOT practical.
-You wouldn’t be able to use that as standard procedure
and they do not handle it on a case to case basis, there needs to be a standard.

All of that is based on the assumption that the officer was standing still. No one says he was. No reason to assume he was. He very well could have been driving. You’re about to mention the checkpoint... but may I remind you that they are a DUI checkpoint whose priority is not sitting idle on the radar, it just isn’t.
…

He might have endangered people. OH WAIT.. no, he DID endanger people. So you’re right, he will be punished for reckless endangerment (a crime)
not because he might have endangered the lives of every vehicle he passed, but because he DID endanger their lives.

I don’t see how your comment belongs here. Do you intend to educate this adult man about how his action could have kill people? How does this stop him, or others from doing it again? It doesn’t. What you are saying might be a nice idea but its not doing anything about the current situation. How are you going to…

Im glad someone understands. I’m sick of seeing ppl saying “I don’t want my taxes to go to jailing him!” Those taxes are going somewhere, and is that amount of money worth the innocent lives lost if we didn’t jail offenders?

Did I miss something? In all the articles I read, not one mentions that the officer was at a dead stop. You seem to be missing part of the puzzle, AND you might be assuming he was at a dead stop. Just humor me, If he was leaving the checkpoint when it happened and then saw him, it would make sense for him to be able…

K you clearly missed the point entirely. (because your reply helped prove my point) Reread what I said cause you look ridiculous.
1.) Nice explanation about an irrelevant fact no one asked for. I pointed out 55 because undeniably you are less likely to be in an accident at 55mph than at 171.
Ppl aren’t making up these…

Shooting at someone (even accidentally) is a felony. Think about that... sending a tiny piece of metal towards someone that could potentially kill them.
Well He did the same thing, but his bullet weighs 2 tons.

Did the people he endangered ask to be put in that situation?
In this country you have “the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” But his decision risked peoples lives. That’s clearly worthy of a felony.

You sir, are my hero.

He’s literally launching a 2 ton mass of metal past people at 171mph, the slightest movement could kill anyone around him.

Everyone else is making light of it.

DUI check points weren’t invented yesterday... The have squad cars stationed further down the road.

LOL if you mean “the officer who first saw him would never have caught him” than you might be right. Other wise they’d have him in cuffs in minutes.
They have the checkpoint there for a reason, with officers stationed further down the road.

The way you phrase your question makes it seem like you think the officer was waiting outside of his car, fumbled around and got in and needed to drive like a bat out of hell... Its 2016. The radar is running while the car is moving, the car in question blew past a DUI check point at check point this officer revs up…

“If safety matter so much to you that you would happily ruin lives” Right... Removing someone who could have killed people “ruined live(S)“??
Also how is the punishment Judgemental? If anything, its extremely lenient

Your first three sentences prove the point. (The one opposite to yours)

We shouldn’t have to wear all that to feel safe. Life would be less dangerous without people like this on the road. If only there were a place we could send him that was outside of our community...

But NO, you are right. We shouldn't jail ppl who…

You say you hate the “what if” argument but immediately follow up with a “maybe this” argument (essentially the same thing).
You’re stats seem like guesses. “one out of millions that will” & “ 55mph is probably going to be fatal as well”

What right did he have to risk someone else’s life? We don’t allow people to…

THANK YOU. People are saying Jail time is too much because it could ruin his life.

... if he hit ANYTHING, someone dies.
So his actions are ruin live(S) but we shouldn’t jail HIM cause that would ruin his life.

Lol I couldn’t help myself from commenting again.

This guy is told: “Protect and serve”
But this guy hears:
“Its not their job to keep people safe from themselves or each other.”

The problem? This guy doesn’t know what words mean.

Wow I was so proud of you because of the first statement. But then you had to say such a laughable follow up statement.
1. This is about the police and the criminal justice system.
2. Tell me what you think #1 does... Cause if its not to keep ppl safe, than you might be in a different country.
