We Exist To Win Premierships
I am pretty disgusted by your comment. As I’m sure the families and colleagues of the deceased would be. You have essentially implied they were responsible for their own demise.
What exactly about that location was unsafe? Perfectly straight, well lit, 5 lanes including emergency lane. Their red and blues would have been visible for miles. I actually can’t think of a better spot for a traffic stop. Is it simply the speed that is unsafe in your opinion. What is a safe speed zone for vehicle stops, 90? 80? 70? I would suggest a fully laden truck driving into a parked vehicle and 4 people at 60km/hr without braking would have fairly disastrous consequences.
And what if they did follow him to the next exit, what if it’s 10kms down the road and in the meantime he loses control and kills an innocent motorist with the cops just cruising along watching?
And when they get to that exit how exactly do they make the driver actually get off the freeway and not just pull over as soon as the lights go on. And what if they are in the wrong lane to even get off?
In short if you don’t know what you are talking about it’s often best to just shut up.
You can be disgusted whilst I finger point the decision makers both on the scene and those training the officers and setting police protocols without consideration to safety.
4 officers are dead attesting to the dangers and no doubt loads of other examples across the nation experiencing similar risks.
Now ask yourself if being disgusted prevents this from happening again or whether your disgust prevents a review of process.
Perhaps being disgusted is part of the problem and not the solution.
