This is a news story on the press confrence the police force held after the incident. It gives the procedures they must follow and detail that there officers can not speed unless sirens and lights are on.

Police always think they are above the law. This cop killed someone then puts the victims father in jail how backwards is that. Sad thing is this happens all the time in america our justice system is so screwed up. I live in st.louis MO. Our police here are very courrpt. I have zero respect for police I dont care what anyone thinks of me saying that.

Respectfully you may want to stop stereotyping all cops based on the actions of STL Metro police.
Secondly the father and 3 other family members were arrested for assault. Its a crime scene and they should not be traipsing all around it. Thats a good way to ensure the officer won't be charged - tampering with evidence.
Third - The police are not part of the Judicial system. IF you have issues with the way people are prosecuted / not prosecuted, then your issue is with the Prosecuting Attorney since thats is their job and not the police.

The following is my opinion as a member participating in this discussion.
I feel sorry for the families, but this story is from a blog and is quite incorrect in many assumptions it makes.
First off, you don't go running into a crime scene to “identify bodies”. Bodies are identified at the morgue
.As an ATS Staff Member, I will not moderate in threads such as this where I have participated as a member.

No the police like to file false charges then when people go to court they lie then the Prosecuting Attorney belives the police and not any witness's or anyhting I hate the police and I can if i want too!!!!! I know how they are around here and I hate them all .I hate the Maplewood police in st.louis county they are the ones who file false charges on everyone just to get money for fines. I have only been in trouble one time in my life and it was for something I didnt even do I was asslted and they charged me with assult that charge got thrown out but they still charged me with trying to escape cousdty and affray. I didnt tyr to escape my cuffs came off while I was in the car and I showed the cop that they came off and told him and 3 punk cops threw me down and put handcuffs on me so tight it was insane I HATE THE MAPLEWOOD POLICE!

I do not care what you say a lot of police are currpot and get away with crimes but, yet they arrest people over petty things. I am sure just going to look at a body didnt tamper with a crime scene plus their were a lot of witness's that saw he didnt have any lights or sirens on. but im sure that cop will lie and they wont belive the witness's because, that is how everything works out I HATE POLICE!

If I saw my son or someone I was close too dead on the ground I would not react by wating to go to the morge. his daughter was lying there dead on the ground of course he is going to run over there and see if she is dead or alive I wouldnt care. so if someone you were close too just got hit by a car you would just stand there?? im glad im not your wife!!!

Thank you for proving my point that you will allow your own personal encounters with law enforcement to cloud your view when dealing with them elsewhere.

Don't understand your point here, in marketing this is called brand awareness! Most companies try and build on this!!!!
second line as the first line was the point!

As to other comments about why the deputy was not arrested, it would not be any different for a non officer who is not intoxicated.

Did the cop break the law? He sure did.
Did the people killed break the law? They sure did.
Why should their actions be excused
