Again you try to deflect attention away from the fact that this is a discussion about what group the victims belonged to affecting whether it would be aggressively persued, pure and simple.

Quit trying to strawman.

The statement was in response to the phrase "If those were regular citizens run over it would have been a 'tragic accident', but as it was cops who were injured there MUST be an aggressor and SOMEONE must pay"

So Sausegeypie saying "if" it had been regular citizens it would be different is just untrue because, again, we literally have a days old example of a very similar (obviously not identical) scenario where a car plowed into pedestrians who were citizens and was brought to justice.

I am not saying they are identical, but to imply that the only reason it was being handled so seriously is because they were cops is just completely ignoring the Brooks outcome.

So don't try to strawman this into motivation or driver coherence.

The response was purely based on the fact that the victims social/work status would not necessarily make a difference in how it was handled.
