Not surprised at law enforcement (the prosecutor) failing to enforce the law, but the silver lining is this sounds like an easily-won wrongful death suit.

If it's like NC then sheriffs are extra protected.
Here's dash cam from the car. Nothing graphic, but remember it resulted in death (around 4:25): https://youtu.be/Z24tT8FR_R8?si=ZUfiQy3X4EE7lfWn
If he was trying to cut the kid off, he is God damned terrible at driving. He was trying to be "bad ass" and knock the kid over. He REFUSES to say over radio what happened (at least in the time I watched).
I'm so grossed out that they're not charging the officer, but still charging the driver of the stolen car, who was long gone at that point, for causing vehicular death.
Gross. You can see the car bump upwards as he ran over the kid. Just gross.
Cops love to lie. Even when caught they lie. Sorry was going to aay the family could sue but its the sheriffs department. They wont get a dime and the officer wont miss a day of work. Fuck all cops but especially sheriffs.
This is what we're headed toward: Any government official can do anything as a government official and get away with it because they were just following orders.
I'm afraid things like this article implies we aren't headed that way, we've already arrived
Until the people start breaking their faces.
Violence is ~~never~~ sometimes the answer.
Hmmm, where have I heard that one before..
As always, ACAB.
We're gonna have to figure out an acronym for these useless prosecutors too, 'cause they're part of the problem. Maybe APAC.
APAP; all prosecutors are pricks
APAS; all prosecutors are shitheads
ACAD; all prosecutors are dicks
(Okay im running out of ideas,)
Prosecutors in this case are cops. ACAB from the cops to the prison guards and everyone in between.
APAC is reserved Asia-Pacific.
How about human dog shit?
Pigs in lipstick? They’re still a pig
