My mom lives on a cul-de-sac. There are 4 or 5 young kids that love to ride their bikes and big wheels around the sidewalk of said cul-de-sac. In the past I have always been very careful to watch were everyone is when I back out. I have a back-up camera and sensors on my truck to help as well.

But, you know, I say fuck it. I'm just gonna floor it from now on. Screw those little kids having fun riding their toys. They should be chained up in the yard so they can't get in any trouble. Who do they think they are having fun in a relatively safe cul-de-sac.  Well maybe not safe anymore with deputy douche around.

I wonder what will happen to me when I knock one off their bike??



Haha I love this place.
A cop bumped a kid so now its ok to run over kids on bikes.

Here's the thing. The story makes no sense to me. If I thought deputy was a douche I would have no problem saying it.



We have as story being told from the mother to the boyfriend. You had a deputy and  LT come out to the scene. In the video the boyfriend says the Sheriff came out and spent two hours at the deputies house. The boyfriend admits the magistrate fucked up with the assault on a child charges. He like some GD posters think that some mythical law exists to charge the deputy with even though he can't name it. The mom admits she missed the meeting with the DA about charges being dismissed and then complains when they are sent a letter about the issue. The mom admits she started the verbal confrontation with deputy on his property. She admits in the video that she and the child was on his property. The deputy was cleared by the state police, the DA and SO.

Why would you apologize for something that is not your fault?
You are pretty dialed in on most things.



But your position on this one is nothing short of fucked with a side of tard.

I'm not concerned with the charges....I'm not entirely sure that what happened deserves criminal charges. It is his behavior afterwords, and the lack of any kind of incident report completed by the Lt. or deputy on scene that rubs me wrong.



Maybe the detective had a really shitty day, maybe everyday is shitty for him. I just fail to see how you ever allow your vehicle, especially a govt vehicle to ever get that close to a child on a bike.  Regardless of whether I have the right of way or not. I give pedestrians and children on bikes plenty of leeway to decide what they want to do.



Maybe the two families have history? Who knows.  I'm of the opinion that you can apologize for something, without admitting fault.

Fair enough...hope no one was seriously hurt and they got the happy ending.

But what country did this happen in? I've been told a vehicle is a deadly weapon when pointed at a cop here in America.

And I'll ask again...where are the militant cyclists? One of your own just got taken out!

Citadel - you do seem like one of the "good" cops but you also come across as completely naive (or in complete denial). In my 50 years on this earth, I've run into cops that beat their wives and get away with it, get drunk or do drugs on the job, sell drugs they have confiscated from dealers, force teenage girls to have sex with them in exchange for not getting arrested, and even worse things.  I don't trust a cop any further than any other stranger that I may run across.

Parents are morons.




How would you suggest they should have handled the situation?  Do nothing because some asshole hit their little girl while she was riding her bike?



Serious question.




Keep your kids off of other peoples property for a start.
Did you read the story? She wasn't on his property. She was in a cul-de-sac on a public street.



'Pridgen said she was walking while her 5-year-old daughter rode her bike along with a neighbor’s child across the cul-de-sac in their neighborhood near Sims toward another neighbor’s house.'



I didn't get that she was on anybody's property from that.



If I knocked a child off her bike with my vehicle , in a public street, and didn't stop to render 'aid'...I'd likely get hauled to jail. Personally I'd do everything in my power to make sure the child wasn't injured and if she was I'd get her medical attention.



Smith sounds pretty caviler for apparently having committed what could be considered 'hit and run' or 'leaving the scene' in most places.  





 



 




I think you and many others suffer from I'm a Victim Syndrome.




Seems like you keep trying to justify Smith's actions just because you're both cops.


I'm definitely not a victim, nor do I need protection from anyone at taxpayer expense. I go armed, Sir.

This is the law here in Montana.  I imagine other states have similar "due care" laws.  I agree...a  driver should not come within 6 ft of a kid on a bike and has already fucked up if they do.  Here though, they can be held liable as was the driver that "knocked" my daughter off her bike.  You can not observe a child on or near the roadway without taking "proper precaution" to avoid a collision.

<<61-8-504.

I don't have a clue what the "proper precaution" was in this case.  All I know is cop hits child, mother freaks out, cop is an asshole and half of GD goes batty.

I'm not a lawyer or a judge but I can relate how my attorney and the county attorney explained MT's law to me when they charged the driver that hit my daughter on her bike.  The critical elements were...

When did the driver see the child.  Upon seeing the child, was there enough time and distance for a reasonable person to take action or "proper precaution" (by slowing down or steering to give wide berth or etc) and avoid the collision.  Finally, did the driver in fact do something to avoid a collision.

In my daughters case the driver pled no contest to the charge of failing to exercise due care.  In this case I don't have a clue but am admittedly always skeptical when a child is involved that due care was not exercised.  It's a bias I learned the hard way.  It would be interesting to know if other states have "due care" statutes.

I'm not concerned with the charges....I'm not entirely sure that what happened deserves criminal charges. It is his behavior afterwords, and the lack of any kind of incident report completed by the Lt. or deputy on scene that rubs me wrong.

Maybe the detective had a really shitty day, maybe everyday is shitty for him. I just fail to see how you ever allow your vehicle, especially a govt vehicle to ever get that close to a child on a bike.  Regardless of whether I have the right of way or not. I give pedestrians and children on bikes plenty of leeway to decide what they want to do.

Maybe the two families have history? Who knows. I'm of the opinion that you can apologize for something, without admitting fault.

Why would you apologize for something that is not your fault?
You are pretty dialed in on most things.

But your position on this one is nothing short of fucked with a side of tard.
 


Here's the thing. The story makes no sense to me. If I thought deputy was a douche I would have no problem saying it.

We have as story being told from the mother to the boyfriend. You had a deputy and  LT come out to the scene. In the video the boyfriend says the Sheriff came out and spent two hours at the deputies house. The boyfriend admits the magistrate fucked up with the assault on a child charges. He like some GD posters think that some mythical law exists to charge the deputy with even though he can't name it. The mom admits she missed the meeting with the DA about charges being dismissed and then complains when they are sent a letter about the issue. The mom admits she started the verbal confrontation with deputy on his property. She admits in the video that she and the child was on his property. The deputy was cleared by the state police, the DA and SO.

Guy couldn't work a ladder at my house and busted his ankles. My stepdad helped cover his co-pay. Then he sued. They said he was admitting fault by helping him pay.

Woodard said what the public doesn’t know is that there is a personal
issue between the mother and Smith that has to do with the detective’s
personal life.




Woodard said the personal issue has now become political, which is unfortunate.

"I called the cops because he didn't seem sorry for scaring my child" - Mom

"Her injuries were so severe, we waited to take her to the hospital until the next day" - Mom

"We took her to the FUCKING HOSPITAL, so we could have documentation of her skinned knee" - Mom





Yea she sounds like a retarded cunt.

You sound like you're in 5th grade.  Cunt, pussies, sandy vaginas, etc etc.  I used to explain to stupid 18 year old privates that using language like that for their everyday conversation made them sound juvenile and uneducated.

Parents are morons.


How would you suggest they should have handled the situation?  Do nothing because some asshole hit their little girl while she was riding her bike?

Serious question.


Keep your kids off of other peoples property for a start.

I always thought setting up claymore's on the sidewalk crossing my yard would be a good start.  What do you think?

I'm in 6th grade.





Get it right.



I like how you attack me, and ignore the contextually relevant info my post. Typical liberal tactics.

Sounds like everyone BUT the little girl is a bitch in the end.

And much of the purse swinging in this thread was about  the reaction to hitting a child...at least that's why mine was swinging.

The mom has had a personal grudge against the deputy. Imagine that.
