Vehicular homicide doesn't get more clear than this.

I'm not a fan of cops doing blatantly illegal things on the road. In new York they just turn their lights on and then drive through red lights.
Smath you are a gigantic shithead. Driving a street legal vehicle at night!!!!! It's their fault amirite!

I don't know if he was passing other cars or just distracted by the laptop, but it's abundantly clear that no part of that accident happened in the other lane. I don't know if the cop tried to back up or just splattered oil and blood that far. 6/5/2013 9:44:57 AM

Wonder if the cop was in pursuit or something
I think mopeds should be taken off the street. Not saying the drivers were wrong at all here but they make roads more dangerous. 6/5/2013 9:45:24 AM

it's also perfectly legal for a woman to walk by herself through questionable areas of the city at 3am, but it's probably not a good idea. 6/5/2013 9:47:28 AM

If I was driving a moped, I'd probably rather do it at 3am when no cars were on the road. I'd be scared to drive a moped during rush hour traffic. 6/5/2013 9:51:19 AM

Tire marks from the cruiser extend 100 feet back, curving very slightly into his lane.
No doubt the coroner will find the moped riders to be intoxicated.

You don't even need a license for those right? Wonder what % of moped drivers are dui offenders with no license (Hence the name Liqourcycle) 6/5/2013 9:54:00 AM

Dudes, I don't know much about physics. But for a moped to cause that kind of damage to a car, one or both vehicles musta been moving really fast.
Right?

my moped could go 70 mph easy (top speed 80mph) and people frequently asked me if I had a DUI or something, NO.... Im just poor.

I saw a cop three years ago use his turn signal before turning in the direction he was indicating. Not even a month ago I saw another one come to a complete stop at a stop sign.

Legal top speed for a moped is 30mph unless registered as a motorcycle.
No doubt these individuals will be found to be "speeding". 6/5/2013 10:10:50 AM

I forgot about the actual bodies hitting the windshield.
^^I agree. That's why the lengthy tire marks are confusing to me. When you're thoroughly established in the wrong lane, and an oncoming car is approaching, the instinct should be to get out of the lane, not slam on brakes. He didn't swerve or anything. It's weird.

Because this picture tells the entire tale of what happened?
You major crash reconstruction experts should be raking in fat cash if you can complete your investigation based off of a cropped arial photo from a news helicopter.
Not supporting either side. But how about you STFU until the actual story/truth is out. Then rant one way or the other. 6/5/2013 11:02:38 AM

Theres a difference in "talking about it" and making uneducated assumptions and bashing. For either side, police or moped driver.
