Speed Killz....

[TURBOPOWERED68]

So there is another angle for you. So both where in the wrong.

Just because his lights where not on doesn't mean he wasn't responding to a call. Some departments only allowed X number of cars to respond code 3. Others can not but they can and will respond to the call

If you use one of those "fancy" calculators time + speed = distance.
1-Would the kids have had enough time to clear the intersection IF the on coming car was traveling at the posted speed limit?
2-Would the on coming car have enough time to stop and avoid the accident?
3-Would the accident have still been fatal?
A "call" has a time stamp ?? so if responding to a call the time stamp of the accident would match "call" i think (second mistake, first mistake is replying to this thread) that if such a call existed it would be enough to keep any charges from being filed against this guy as he was Working and under the protection of the law.

Would think if you are running 90 mph you should have lights on!

You would think!!!!

BUT, the cop was still speeding. Either way, still a sad story.

didn't a president say once that if he did it it wasn't a crime because he was the president??

I'm just saying we don't know everything that was going on.

Just like circumstantial evidence we don't need to know anything we just need a good story that a jury would buy

+1. we will never know everything that was going on.

^^^^^^^^
A call log for the night would go a long way.

A call log would be great. i did find where it said "Early on the morning of June 13, Anderson was driving on Route 1 toward Milford after responding to a request for help at a West Haven disturbance, state police said at the time" . i'm not saying either was right or wrong just saying this is a true tragedy. and it needs to be looked at both ways.

100% Agreed

The article I read said both officers were returning from a mutual aid call in another town. To me the bottom line is this; The cop took an oath to protect and serve. He should not be grossly breaking the law and endangering the lives of others, especially on duty. These two kids, and they were kids, made a stupid mistake. This guy was going 94mph in a 40 zone. I dont care if you were sober or not, it would be really hard to judge the speed of a car coming at you at over double the speed limit in the dark. Makes me sick to think if that were my two kids in that car!

Great response...Thats why I would never be a cop, I think most of them are corrupt,no matter how you look at it they mostly all break the law daily but to what extent decides how good of a cop they are..This accident shows that speeding around town like you own it "because im a cop and can" puts others in danger..

They do it daily around here,just going to a donut store they fly past you or ride your ars,inches away from you,just to bully you over...I never see one use turn signals..

They have limo tint on most of there rides here,but I get a ticket for tint...I ask the cop "why is your tint so dark,its darker than mine" he said because I dont have to obide by that law...I ask what is the law for " he said so when you switch lanes you can see the car or see a kid on the side of the road,your tint obstructs your vision" I say so you can run people off the road and hit kids but not me? he said yes if thats how you want to look at it<Exact quote..

I get a ticket for speeding in a no wake zone I ask the cop why is this a law,he said to protect the manatees,they are known to be in this area and they dont have time to move at those speeds,I said well you guys speed threw all the time,including just now when you flew up on me...He said we dont have to obide by that law we just enforce it..I say so you can kill manatees but I cant is what your saying...He didnt respond just wrote the ticket but I did have my lawyer write a letter to his Major...

Every Cop in the country at one time or another has traveled 80, 90, 100+ mph while on duty. Was it a smart move that particular night? Nope. But speeding does not make anyone corrupt. If that was the case then I guess every Trooper in the country should resign.....

Whoever said that or even thinks that has an elevator that doesn't quite reach the top.....

The cop was returning from West Haven (A town two towns away from his own) while providing back up during a bar fight. Two seconds later the cop would have likely dropped down to a more reasonable speed and this would be a non-story.

The guy had never been in trouble in the past and was very well liked by his supervisors and co-workers. He was a model employee.

He was speeding as cops often do when traveling to calls without lights/siren so the burgular doesn't hear them and leave. Or it's 2 oclock in the moring and he does not want to wake the whole neighborhood up while backing up another officer. He did nothing more then any other cop does on the midnight shift anywhere in the country 24/7 365! The difference being, someone pulled out in front of him while doing so. He fuked up period!

fatalities occur more often at 50 mph then 94 so the fact that he was doing 94 mph is not the reason the kids died. Was it a contributing factor? Yes. I have investigated countless fatalities and maybe 5% account for speeds in excess of 85 mph. If the cop was doing 50 mph this would not be a story but the kids would likely still be dead.

Stay off Everette Turnpike at 2:50 in the afternoon. I've been run off the road more than once, by Nashua cops doing 90+ to get to Exit 5 where the station is. No lights or siren, just tearing down the road to take the exit. Shift must end at 3pm and they don't want to be late.

1st off,This tragedy is a hell of a shame,For everyone involved.

But to say that him doing 94mph wasnt the reason the kids died?I think it exactly the reason why those kids died.1st off,We know if he wasnt traveling at that speed,he doesnt get to those kids that quickly,The other officer doing 70mph(still very fast)Didnt seem to have any problem avoiding the accident.Secondly,Traveling at that speed greatly reduced his ability to react to the kids turning in front of him.Think he could of reacted possibly if he was doing 55mph?Maybe just enough to not T bone them..Who knows...But more than likely yes.

To compare accidents of vehicles doing 94 compared to 50?How many people are traveling 90+mph on a daily basis,And How many doing 50?The Ratio of accidents between the 2 is probably 20,000/1..You can say there are more fatalities of people traveling 50mph...But thats only because there are so many accidents involving those speeds...Unlike 90+mph accidents.

Once your elevator reaches the first floor you will start to see the light...Just like a cop to take things out of text.....Yes he IS breaking the law by speeding and HE WASNT going to a call just like all the other ones Ive saw speeding!

HE himself killed 2 people,so it dont matter if it was with a gun or knife or vehicle,he killed 2 young kids...He should face the proper punishment to the fullest..


By breaking the law what would you call it?? Breaking the law I call it so at what point is it gone too far,well thats up to the person who is reading of 2 kids killed by a, BAD/Corrupt/Breaking the law/Non obiding/selfless/uncaring/stupid/whatever you want to call him,cop speeding...

He shouldnt be a cop if he thinks racing another cop is a fun past time,or racing to a donut store is right or whatever other reason for speeding besides going to a call,and even then he needs to take in consideration of everything around him and remember he DONT have the right away,we do...We are supposed to move to the side but with no lights what makes it right then?????

Bret, We all have different views on this one, and thats fine. I dont think all cops are corrupt either, hell, my dad was a state trooper for 30 years, he was my hero. The issue I have is that this officer was returning from a call, so why was he going 94mph. He may be the greatest guy in the world, but I feel he was negligent on this deal and should be punished accordingly. I respect you and you are entitled to your view, cases like this hit home with people and thats why we all feel so strongly about our opinions.

 

[no-nos]

sad, :frown:sad story all around, my opinion, aside what might happen to the police officer, he's already got a life sentence that will haunt, and torment him for the rest of his life, If you EVEN THINK! you can have a normal life, after causing the life of 2 people, your only kidding yourself, it will be a lot of solitude and alot of looking down an empty Liquor bottle just to try to cope. It's a sad, tragedy and whatever the outcome is, 3 people's lives have been changed forever.

 

[BuckeyeTroop]

There's no defending what he did..................period. Its a tragedy for so many people that didn't need to happen.

 

[TurboBuRick]

Not to say the cop did nothing wrong but the car turned right infront of him.
I mean wtf is wrong with people? If you can't tell the car is honkin down the road? Then you should'nt be on the road.

Because he figures he's the got the power to do what the hell he wants with no repercussions since he's a cop. Figured wrong.

Why is everyone acting like they've never gone over 90 in their GN's on the street. I bet my money somone on this forum will crash in a race one day.

We aren't talking about anyone on this forum,And thank god...That video doesn't show any forum member here flying along at 94mph and killing 2 teenagers.

That person in crash one day in the future while racing,Just may turn out to be you.

Wow, you either have the eyes of an eagle, reflexes like lightening, or you are bias to police officers. I would love to see you survive against a vehicle speeding toward you at night on the street, not a highway with those animalistic reflexes against a police car which is not displaying any lights, or sounding a siren traveling at 94 miles an hour, remember at night. Oh yea, and he passed his own coworker who was going 70-something miles an hour, thank God that officer was traveing down the same road at the same time and got it all on tape. Otherwise, people like you with that type of mentality would enable an idiot like that speeding police officer with no where to go with a line up of excuses on how to get away with wreckless endangerment, and manslaughter. Wearing a badge does not excuse anyone from following the letter of the law. No one should get a free pass to do what you want just because of your status that's how wars are started. Go back and read Lord of the Flies! Oh, sorry maybe you've never heard of it.

Negative ghost rider..I paid way to much to race my car on the street. I have qualcomm stadium sure it's an 1/8th of a mile but at least it's something. At first I was looking for a street race but realized it's not worth it. People can line up next to me and rev all they want, I wont take the bait because at the end of the day I'm the one with the Grand National not them:biggrin:

I agree with most of that.

According to the Connecticut Post (online) he's going to be in court this Tuesday.

The article also says, "The cruiser that Pisani was driving on June 13 is one of only two in the Milford department's 25-car patrol fleet equipped with a dashboard camera, Mello said. "

I don't even want to think about what would have happened if he had been driving a cruiser without a camera.
