Cop had lights on, and the civvy driver turned in front of the cop. I saw brake lights on the civvy car, but no left turn signal. (I watched the film frame-by frame several times but saw no turn signal) Cop clearly saw brake lights of the car ahead, and had every right to expect the driver to be pulling over to the right and stopping, as required by law. Cop did have his foot on brake (see the "B" character in the upper corner) ready to stop.

Cop is in the Right

Blue-hair to blame.

@tubefreak90 How was she NOT stupid? Have you ever driven a car in your entire life? If you see cop lights, you pull over. Everyone knows that. You are also supposed to signal before you turn. Also, name calling makes you sound ignorant.

@Kykle86 I agree with all you have put on here. This officer was in the right of way while the driver of the other car was in the wrong. And tubefreak90, I am a police officer in training and this was properly done. I have been in a police car while responding to an emergency, this is how officers get somewhere when someone needs help. The officer was correct and also did brake before getting near the other driver. Officer is correct. Other driver should be ticketed 65 years old or not.

@Kykle86 aight dumbass think whatever u wanna think ur still wrong and it contributes to ur queerness. :) fag

[Kykle86]

@tubefreak90 Thanks man. Your unintelligent debating just further justifies my standpoint.

[tubefreak90]

@Kykle86 u tell me rage much. well u dumb much bro? ur a fuckin idiot u fail at life. MISERABLY!

[Kykle86]

@tubefreak90 Rage much bro? Dude. I'm not taking the civilians side. What the hell are you talking about? Cops are allowed to drive over the speed limit. That's what those bright red and blue lights mean on the top of their car. Those are saying "Get the fuck out of the way, we are dealing with an emergency." What's this every day stuff? I don't hear of many police vehicles getting into car accidents like this one.

[tubefreak90]

@Kykle86 do u not fucking understand the point that the cop shouldnt have been driving as fast as he was in a residental area moron how can u take the civilians side? cops have a problem doing that in houston tx also they keep doing it and guess what...? they end up getting into a wreck with one or more cars because of it. you see it on the news everyday but u know what? they dont learn they keep doing it and doing it and doing it. dont tell me it was the civilians side. pigs arent safe drivers.

@tubefreak90 See, now you're assuming that it is an elderly person. You're drawing your entire argument off of an assumption. That's not an argument at all, it's speculation. News flash, young people get into accidents all of the time:

"For each mile driven, teen drivers ages 16 to 19 are about four times more likely than other drivers to crash." <--That took about 20 seconds to find.

At any rate, I don't think it's the officer's fault.

@Kykle86 u say i sound ignorant when ur the one using caps to try and prove a point jackass. why i said the person isnt stupid is bc of the fact that it was most likely an elderly who moved into the path of the cop when its impossible not to see those flashing lights elderly people cant help there reactions when theyre old. but for a younger person driving im sure that incident wouldnt have happened. oh and uh... ive been driving for a good while auto and stick so dont go there with me!
