Well lets see... You see a policeman pull his cruiser into your path, get out of it, order you to stop. Anything other than compliance with that order is a deliberate act. When Mr. White pressed the accelerator instead of the brake, it was a deliberate act. Perhaps it was not his intent to KILL him, but he was by no means being a law-abiding citizen. He was a crimminal who was engaging in crimminal activity.

I did not know Cpl. Findley. I do not know if he was a bully with a badge or a man of valor. But what I do know is that I have no desire to live in a world where there are no police. In an ideal world, we would not need them. However, our reality is that we have a world full of Ronnie Whites who think the rules do not apply to them. As a result, we have police officers who provide that "check and balance" to ensure the safety of those of us who do play by the rules.

Cpl Findley, whether a "typical pig cop" or a man of honor, deserves the benefit of the doubt. I, for one, give him that. I believe he was simply doing his job...just as Mr. White was doing his job of being a crimminal.
