I think redlemon's post and Jazz's post pretty much explain why he should be fired. Fugly is dead on too.
Look, you can say that judging a car at night on a well lit road is an excuse and if they couldn't judge etc etc.. but the fact is that most people are going to assume that a car is going no more than 55 on a road like that. The fact that the car was almost through the intersection proves this. The cop obviously shouldn't have been on the road if he was too dumb to slow down when approaching an intersection when he's traveling at 138 ft. per second. Nobody on the road is going to be able to accurately judge that another car approaching at night is traveling at that rate of speed. I don't care who you are.
Both cops should be fired for joyriding and putting everyone at risk. The sad part is that two kids died because of their stupidity. It's almost like they were trying to re-enact a scene out of Superbad.
I hope he goes to jail, not because I'm a cop hater, but because his needless and reckless actions killed two people.
