***UPDATED January 20th *** Auctions up and running for Coweta deputy hit and killed by Lanett Police Officer during chase.

I doubt seriously that the chase required 7 agencies' vehicles. That's ridiculous. You need 14 to 20 cops chasing one vehicle? 10 ain't enough?

I hate it for the family of the killed deputy but there has to be a better way.

I was always told you can't outrun the radio. I wonder if they'll charge the driver of the fleeing vehicle with his death

They should. "But for his (the scumbag) actions, the deputy would be alive today."

They hung horse thieves back in the day and today it should an instant mandatory death sentence for stealing vehicles. My truck is worth waaaaay more than a thief’s life.

didn’t catch him

From the quoted article-

"We are told at least seven agencies were involved in the chase of a driver in an alleged stolen vehicle – and the driver is in custody."

So was the Deputy inside his car and got hit or was he outside his car and got hit?

 

[Boogar Presley]

Truly a shame for a man with a family to die so young. Those poor children, God bless them

 

[7pt62THOR]

Dang. Prayers for friends and family.

Sad for sure and we wait
