They should apologize however if I had a $1 for every time someone in Northwest IN said the "Cops beat me" " cops raped me" "cops are racist pigs" "cops tazed me" I would be a very, very rich man.

These types of claims are nothing new to the area and I'm sure the cheif is sick of it.

I like how the school said "They were students in good standing" which means their grades were probably pretty awful, otherwise it would have been mentioned that at least one was "a promising young man" or "honor student" or something.

The kid was incoherent. Gave a cell phone number, but didn't know where the car crashed? Yah, that should be all they need to hear. "May have been in the car..."

And then he talks to his mom after he is in the hospital and stabilized and coherent again and tells her that there were two others.... come on.

The officer did the best he could, and the kids couldn't have been that easy to see. You know they examined the car and the immediate area. It wasn't like they drug the car onto a tow truck and left without even looking around.

The kid was at fault. He was incoherent, not sober, wounded, not clear or decisive in any way when the officer first responded. That was all he had to go on.

There are some dumb people in here.

yet another reason to wear your damn seatbelt. It's not there for decoration... all 4 were ejected fromt eh vehicle, and the 2 who died died of multiple blunt traumas. Seatbelts on, likely would have been no fatalities.

Funny story behind it. I was told this by an Alaska State Trooper/Crime Scene Investigator in my Forensics class last week.

According to him, some of the highest BAC come from the dry villages (cities that outlaw the drinking/sale of alcohol.). The reasoning is, they'll get a shipment of booze in (sometimes going for $100 a fifth), and rather than drink slowly and savor it, they'll go to town on the entire shipment since they'd rather get extremely drunk once and then dispose of the evidence, rather than drink it slowly over a week and have increasing possibilities of being caught. So people in dry villages are getting so ****ed up, their livers build up more and more of a tolerance.

Another interesting fact, dry villages have more serious crime than damp/wet villages.

How many of you people are involved with emergency services?

Thought not. I've participated in drills where part of the training was finding people that had been thrown from a car during an accident. I've done it at actual scenes where the driver ended up dying with his truck a fireball in the middle of the road. It is not an easy thing to do, and this is during the day. Most ditches and woodlines are not perfectly manicured areas. They are usually overgrown and covered with rough underbrush.

Do you guys really think the officers and emergency personnel that searched for the two kids don't feel like horrible piles of **** right about now? Generally these people are not prejudiced, they want to help anybody and everybody who needs it. Even though the coroner ruled that the 2 kids died on impact, they still most likely feel that they failed them. What if there was a chance that they were still barely alive? That kind of stuff weighs on you every day you do that sort of work.

no damn way, alcohol poisoning is almost in full effect at .40 and that's damn near unconcious(in fact it's listed and unconcious/death). I'm curious how they defy biology to survive when they are almost twice that number.
