… Waukesha County Sheriff Eric Severson called the crash “horrific” but “preventable.”
“The fact that two children lost their lives this morning as the result of really bad decision-making is very saddening to all of us,” he said. …
… The preliminary information shows that the sheriff’s deputies involved did not violate any laws and “did their job right,” he said. …
If it was say, a bank robber shooting at police, yeah. Yes, I’d blame him too. If the police shot unprovoked, no. Of course the police should handle situations like this better - put a tag on the car, call a helicopter, whatever - but at least part of the blame lies with this moron driving around with a felony warrant, no license plate, 4 kids in the car, then trying to run from the cops. For the warrant he already had, he will go to prison for a few years, so I could see why he’d be reluctant to turn himself in. But this sort of stupid shit isn’t going to help.
