Whose to say the cops could even see this kid?
IF you're Stupid enough to be Drinking & Driving at 17, then run from the cops, AFTER they've tested you for your alcohol level, then you run into a lake to what.... hide? Whose to say kid-brillant didn't think, "I've got to hide from these cops, I'll go under the water so they won't see me". Maybe he went underwater, and just never came back up. Is he the first 17yr old kid who drank alcohol? Absolutely not. First to run from the cops, while drunk? Umm, no. Is his death a tragedy for his family, friends & his community? Yes. Where does the fault lie with his death? My vote: the kid. You can NOT make multiple mistakes, and then blame the police because they weren't able to save your sorry ass. |

I think one of the pertinent facts in this case is it was 4 a.m. Jumping into a dark lake at that time to retrieve a drunk would endanger a normal patrol officer. They can't be trained for everything. Waiting for divers was a smart call.
