    Man struck and killed by LAPD squad car responding to call

                    Wednesday, December 11, 2002

    (12-11) 06:49 PST LOS ANGELES (AP) —

    Two police officers were injured Wednesday after their squad car struck and killed a man running
    across a street, authorities said.

    The crash occurred shortly after 5:30 a.m. in the Crenshaw district as officers were responding to a
    back-up call, police spokesman Jack Richter said. The officers attempted to swerve their car to
    avoid the pedestrian but hit him. The vehicle then struck a retaining wall, spun around, and crushed
    its rear end, authorities said.

    The identity of the man was not immediately available. Police said both officers were taken to an
    area hospital where one was listed in serious condition and the other had minor injuries.

    The early morning crash is the fourth this month involving law enforcement responding to crimes in
    Los Angeles County. On Dec. 3, an infant’s arm was severed when a fleeing car hit a family’s vehicle
    as Los Angeles police officers chased an attempted-murder suspect. Four days later, two police cars
    were damaged when a drunken-driving suspect rammed them at the end of a high-speed chase in Lancaster.

    On Monday, two Los Angeles County sheriff’s patrol cars racing to a carjacking scene collided with a
    third deputy’s car and two vans at an intersection. Two deputies were hospitalized and a third
    deputy was treated after the accident. Three people had minor injuries. The carjacking suspect was
    later found and arrested.

    Man fatally struck by Los Angeles police car responding to call

    (12-11) 19:54 PST LOS ANGELES (AP) —

    A man sleeping on a sidewalk was struck and killed by a police car that went out of control as two
    officers were responding to a call for backup early Wednesday, authorities said. Both officers were
    injured.

    It was the fourth law enforcement-related crash in Los Angeles County this month.

    The dead man appeared to be in his 40s and may have been homeless, said Officer Jack Richter, a
    Police Department spokesman.

    An autopsy was under way and the coroner’s office would not release the man’s identity pending
    notification of relatives, said Lieutenant Mike Riddle, a coroner’s spokesman.

    The officers’ car spun onto the sidewalk and crashed into a wall about 5:30 a.m. in the Crenshaw
    district, Richter said. The cause of the crash was under investigation.

    One officer was hospitalized in serious condition with abdominal injuries. The other was treated for
    minor injuries and released.

    On Dec. 3 an infant’s arm was severed when her parents’ car was struck by a vehicle being pursued by
    Los Angeles police officers in an attempted-murder case.

    Four days later, two police cars were damaged when a drunken-driving suspect rammed them at the end
    of a high-speed chase in Lancaster.

    On Monday, two Los Angeles County sheriff’s patrol cars racing to a carjacking scene collided with a
    third deputy’s car and two vans. Three deputies and three civilians were injured.

    Slow drivers NEVER cause problems on the highway.  You can’t drive too
    slow. From which it follows that the driver was actually a speeder.

    That’s the delusional world of judy; nevermind that the sloth in Scott’s
    story (1) was obstructing traffic, (2) aided and abetted (sp) a fleeing
    criminal (IMO), (3) was driving with willful disregard for the police
    officers and their safety and (4) committed vehicular assult against the
    officers resulting in their injury (again, IMO). *BUT* he was driving
    slow, so that makes his actions OK in the eyes of the moron known as
    "judy…"

    Just my own little delusion, but I sincerely hope that some of those two
    cop’s buddies did a Rodney King on the sloth. He deserved it.

    And what does this have to do with the incident in question?  What
    you’re pasting happened over 3 years ago.

    LOL!

    *Again* you prove your reasoning powers are on the par of a slug’s. I
    guess that’s what you get for trying to take your nourishment entirely
    from your bath house buddie’s semen. Speaking of your bath house
    buddies, they still respect your 3" micro-weenie, loser?

    Perhaps sloths think at the speed of "DUH"?

    To "aid and abet",one has to have specific knowledge that they are aiding
    and abetting.Just blundering in the way is not "aiding and abetting".

    Puzzled.  I read the whole thread and didn’t find it.  Sloth implies
    slowness.  Where do you get any indication that he was slow?  I suppose
    you could stretch it a bunch into your ‘situational awareness’ but…

    There muist be a better term than sloth for a person DWHUA  (Driving
    With Head Up Ass).  No, I am not proposing that one, it is too clumsy.

    Only an incompetent retard would pull out in front of emergency
    vehicles, or in front of vehicles moving at a high velocity. And sloths
    are usually incompetent retards. Hope this helps!

    The two stories demonstrate the instinctive tendency of CA LEOs to scapegoat for their own negligence.

    Every witness interviewed by the local media disputed the PD’s first story, so the story changed.

    Slow drivers are usually slow mentally too.  So that explains why you think
    it is ok to be slow.

    All I see in your statements of the incident being discussed are all
    examples of HUA, not sloth unless you define sloth very liberally.
    MOst of the others are the same unless you also include the speed at
    which they are moving.
