So we shouldn’t have punishments for crimes? Because morals are enough to keep everyone in line? Is that really what you’re saying?
A childhood friend of mine, Jose Malacara, was killed in a similar incident a few years ago in San Marcos, CA. Cop claimed he was chasing a drunk driver he saw in oncoming lane. He was speeding without his emergency lights on. Jose was one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met. I miss him a lot. The cop should have got manslaughter at the very least. He made a big mistake and unintentionally killed my friend. >

This happened to Jessica and Kelli Uhl in 2007 outside St Louis.  Trooper was doing 120 mph.  They were 13 and 17. >

Surely shit like this happening would be enough for any cop to abstain from chases.
How do you enter the force, hear stories like this, and then participate in a chase? >

Because if you read the thing you're replying to, the police get away with a slap on the wrist when they kill innocent people in high speed chases. >

I'm saying as an individual how could you knowing what has happened in the past
I understand punishment is not enough of a deterrent. I'm aghast that previous tragedies are not. >

Cops kill innocent people all the time and respond with empty platitudes, excuses, or even vilifying the victim. I’m not sure why you think accidental deaths would weigh heavier on their conscience just because it was with a car instead of a gun. Without external punishment, the culture of modern policing will ensure there is never accountability for this sort of thing. >

Jesus maybe because the cops that are intentionally killing people probably don't have much of a conscience to begin with?
Punishment is not the only thing stopping most people from killing others. Most have morals.
