Yup. Which is why you wait if you're not sure.
Thanks for reinforcing the point.

There aren't exactly a lot of cars at out at 5 AM. You'd think that you could wait an extra 10 seconds to cross the road.

Maybe his chicken was on the other side of the road and he needed to grab it before it got away?

You would think so, but apparently that thoroughly obvious thought escapes many.

This is all missing the point. Why is a cop not charged with negligent homocide if he doesn't employ his sirens designed just to help avoid this kind of thing. Are you all seriously going to argue this guy would have still been hit if he saw a cop car coming at him with sirens blasting?

Ah yes... insults. Thanks for conceding defeat.
Doesn't matter how fast the car was going, you don't walk in front of one unless you're sure. And as you so helpfully pointed out, it can be hard to be sure. So you wait.
He didn't. He's dead. The gene pool is better off as a result.

If he violated the law, he should be charged.
Did he violate the law?

It does matter how fast the car is going. Speed is the amount of distance covered in a period of time. If you are twice the speed limit it takes half the amount of time to go from point a to point b. It's even harder to judge the amount of time if someone is accelerating towards you.
Again, why wasn't this cop charged with homicide? If a citizen killed someone driving 50 mph over the speed limit they would be in jail.

Of course he violated the law. Speeding, reckless driving, and vehicular manslaughter.

Golly. Really?

At the end of the day, we are each responsible for our own safety. If you aren't sure, you wait.
Or in koods world does it go something like this... "I'm not sure how fast that car is going or if I can safely make it across, but fuck it. I'm going for it anyway."

So then charge him... if you can.
Except cops can speed when in pursuit, he wasn't driving recklessly and the pedestrian shares the fault.
But hey, other than that...

Police aren’t required to use their emergency lights when responding to a crime. They are more hesistant to use it at night in residential areas because its very loud and will wake people up.
He didn't even break a law.
People here are just butthurt or something I don't even know.

No, the pedestrian is not to blame . The cop was speeding, and I think by law going 20mph over the limit is reckless driving. It is also reckless to drive emergency style with the emergency lights off.
Obviously I can't charge him and when do cops ever get charged anyways? They mostly always get a free pass because they are cops. That is why I was saying that the good cops shouldn't stand for this behavior.
