Cop Kills Six Responding To Robbery
Six people were killed and a police officer was injured in a crash early Friday morning in a suburb just north of Columbus, Ohio.
An officer in Upper Arlington was responding to a robbery report when his police cruiser crashed into a car at an intersection, the Associated Press reports. Local media reports that the male driver and five female passengers — including a small child — were killed; police believe that none of them were wearing seatbelts.
The officer, who according to the head of the local police union had his lights and siren on at the time of the crash, was taken to a hospital with a serious head injury and is in stable condition.

Notice how the police union has it’s prints all over the article. Even the headline says no one in the family car was wearing seatbelts, like that matters. And besides, that could easily be a complete lie just to protect the cop. Also, it appears the cop ran a red light.
While I certainly understand the rush to get to the crime scene, this type of incident happens more often than people realize. A police car is a weapon too.
