This forum is indeed here for people to share opinions and thoughts on current events. But most of the current events we discuss are not ongoing court cases where the whole truth is only revealed one piece at a time over a number of days. Sharing an unqualified opinion on the guilt or innocence of someone in the full knowledge that not all the facts have yet been revealed is a tad irresponsible I think.

In any event, I would openly condemn anyone, Police or otherwise, doing 90mph in a 30mph zone. Its dangerous. Full stop. No crime is worth the risk involved. Had this driver met, & collided with an oncoming vehicle, there may have been many more deaths. The risk, is not worth it.

I can think of a number of admittedly very extreme examples where it would be entirely justified. However, I'm reserving judgement in this case, just as the jury in the courtroom are doing. I see very little point in sharing an opinion when I am fully aware that I do not possess all the available facts.
