harsher penalties for crimes is not a bad thing. Simple fact is that most criminals/people do the things they do is because the reward/punishment depending on the offense outways the risk. They should institute hard time when you are in prision not summer camp. As far as the cop not wearing his seatbelt I have know some fellow officers that do not wear one while on duty becasue it becomes a problem when trying to exit the vehicle quickly ie getting caught on their belt. This sometimes becomes a habit unfortantly. In this case it may have saved his life. My thoughts go out to the family.

i dont mean. weird... like suspicious. but look at this situation. you've got 2 people who had both drank that night and were coming home and crashed into eachother. if that isn't a perfect example of the higher probability of DUI's at those early hours then i dont know what does.

The officers on scene just decided to drop any possession charges out of the goodness of their hearts, to someone who just killed a fellow officer?

He's involved in the death of a police officer but the media is covering up to protect him, yah right......

It's a tragedy that the officer died, and my condolences to his family, but 'some' responsibilty falls on him for not wearing his seat belt. Police know better than anyone else what happens when you don't. Likely his death would have been avoided.

As for the death sentence? Was the officer your brother or something? Not saying Lopez is an angel but death sentence for a DUI?

not at all my friend. death sentence for dui is ridiculous but when dui takes a life then yea the death sentence is appropriate

I was hit by a drunk driver at 4:30p last saturday... unfortunately idiots (vis a vi people who drive drunk) can strike at any time.

Not saying either of them were idiots or even drunk.

Again it is tragic and I think there is evidence to show that both parties were at least somewhat negligent but that doesn't change what happened.
