OK,so on the one hand you have the Post and on the other you have the Times.The pertinent questions are...1) did the dead guy attempt to steal?...2) if so,did he then attempt to flee from the police?....3) if so,was the cop acting in a lawful,reasonable way when the guy was struck?
If the answer to all three questions is "yes" then he,the dead guy,is legally responsible for the damage to the police car.Of course the City of New York might have been wise,for PR reasons,to "eat" the $700 under the circumstances even if it had the law on its side.But that's another matter.
Just saying. There’s always two sides. The Post never mentioned the letter being revoked and all that.
See post #34. Doesn’t that seem like a very bizarre coincidence?
