Am I reading that right? Like her dead baby is punishment enough for her "crime."
Here is a key detail from the article which shows how bs this whole situation is
The traffic accident was 100 percent the cop's fault whether or not the baby would have died or not if properly secured is another story considering these are the injuries from people in the SUV

This. The mother already paid for her negligence by losing her baby. But the cop isn't being punished at all. He should have, at a minimum, been charged with reckless driving.
How did I miss the rest of this? As if the baby wasn't bad enough. These officials must be void of any moral compass to not punish the cop (and wanting to punish the mom instead). That is seriously messed up. Soulless bastards.
Was the carseat broken so that it couldn't be strapped in properly and that was why it was placed the way it was? And whether or not it was does that in any way change that criminal speeding is more likely cause an accident than an unsafely secured carseat?
Louisiana police are especially heinous from my experience with them
I remember a few friends went to protest in Baton Rouge a year or two ago and they brought in a fucking tank

I'm not sure you're going to get a conviction with that fact being considered.
But yes, he should at minimum be fired as a public servant. Beyond that, I don't know enough about the law. Involuntary manslaughter?
The OP should be edited to also include the extensive injuries of the other passengers including three other kids.
Clarifying an important fact in the story for the sake of an honest intellectual discussion? I know that's really frowned upon. Not everything is an attempt at serving an agenda or being coy about a particular bias. As hard as that is for most people to wrap their heads around regarding internet discourse.
The injuries of the other passengers are so bad that I'm not sure if the baby would had survived even if the chair was strapped down. This is just crazy. He should be in jail.
I think the worst fucking part of this is the balls on that shithead trying to sue the family he fucking destroyed. What a piece of literal garbage.
I posted an example above, likely the same outcome. In my example 80mph in a 35, 2 people killed, just a less than $200 ticket for reckless driving.
Nope most likely they had to many people(their were nine people in the SUV) in the vehicle and had nowhere to put the baby car seat and thought it was okay because what is the likely hood of getting into an accident.
I've been posting long enough to know "honest intellectual discussion" is probably not what your after but like I said go ahead and do you.
Judging by all the other people in the car that suffered serious and some permanent injury I'm not even sure that baby would have survived the jolt of being struck by a vehicle going almost 100mph. Almost literally double the speed limit.
Same. I find it hard to believe this guy wasn't executed one day while chowing his fucking daily Big Mac in his squad car.
Almost like they intentionally botched the case to protect the PD
Fun Fact: Louisiana cops are so corrupt that Idaho will not accept any lateral transfers from any LEO from Louisiana.
corvettes are not super pricey if you have a decent steady job. its ignobly touted as a poor mans sports car vis-a-vis euro exotics. that aside i don't know why someone going 40+ over the limit resulting in a crash and a fatality simply walks away, cop or not.
Thank you both Jmanunknown and asmith906. I figured there would be a reason for it. And yeah considering the other injuries not sure what difference it would have made.
Your welcome and yeah its just a terrible situation.
Louisiana is the only state in the US where police are a protected class so you know their is a high probability their is some bs going on when officers involved.
Going that fast on Airline Highway is inconceivable to me. An accident was inevitable for this idiot.
But he lost his corvette! Surely that equals out the family's loss of the baby and all of their extensive injuries. I mean, it is a corvette not a mustang here.
All sarcasm aside this piece of shit should be in jail.
