Police Cruiser Collides With A Vehicle, Killing All Six and Injuring The Officer

[QUOTE=Matrix374;42573397]What the hell?[/QUOTE]

It's not uncommon for robbery suspects to be charged for events that happened as a result of the robbery. A particularly common example is if 2 men storm a convenience store and one is killed by the clerk, the other will be charged with his death.

[QUOTE=Drsalvador;42573479]That's if you only put the waist part on. If you only put the waist part on there is nothing protecting your digestive tract or ribcage. You need to put the diagonal and waist aspects on for proper protection.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, that's what I assumed. But a lot of old vehicles still only have the waist part in the back seats as opposed to newer cars that have the full seat-belts. Also, full seatbelts aren't fitted for short people or kids. I used to not wear the top part because it went over my neck instead of my chest.

[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;42576561]that's a huge stretch. it's not a foreseeable cause that the robbery would result in an officer accidentally killing 6 while responding.

also the robbery example you gave wouldn't necessarily be murder since for murder you have to prove there was malice behind the action.[/QUOTE]

Malicious intent includes intent to kill/cause grievous harm, indifference to life of another, or as result of committing an inherently dangerous felony

Wheres the evidence that they weren't wearing a safety belt? The only source of this statement could be from the police officer. I'm not trying to say that he lied, but its always a possibility.

An MCI after a two car accident that leads to six dead.

[QUOTE=Gordon Frohm;42573300]I'm not saying it would have prevented their deaths or severe injuries, but why the hell would you not wear a seatbelt??

I always wear a seatbelt, isn't it the norm?
I haven't even met anyone who thought not wearing them is cool.[/QUOTE]

I'm saying it probably would have prevented their deaths. Fuck everyone who doesn't wear a seatbelt.

It likely would not be murder chargers. Manslaughter, perhaps.

I do not see it as a stretch. They created the whole situation. If they had no created the criminal offense then none of this would have occurred.

[Bat-shit]

if you have big enough of an impact coming, the seat belt will not save you

[QUOTE=RenegadeCop;42566331]I wear my seatbelt cause its the color I call "badass 80s red"

If they came in colors other than boring grey, maybe people would wear them more, and mabe treat them like an accessory.

I'd wear one anyways of course, but the colors nice[/QUOTE]

The hell would someone not wear a seatbelt because it doesn't match their colour. Not to mention you can get a pretty hefty fine for not wearing it in most places I know.

Unlike negligence manslaughter charges, you do not need to be able to foresee the problem. Robbery is considered to be inherently dangerous enough that people should know better.

In terms of proving malice, again, enacting the robbery in the first place is considered the malice aforethought.

At face value it sounds really unfair, but in practice it isn't because they almost universally aren't charged with the maximum charge that it permits. It can, and very often is, knocked down to a lower murder charge or a nasty manslaughter charge.
