[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a motorcycle rider, if you choose to ride a moped like a mad person rather than stopping, including pulling out onto a cross street without looking, then yes, death is a possible and entirely likely outcome.[/quote]

+1, from another rider.

And not wearing a helmet, too. Because if he had been, he’d very likely be alive.

He made a whole series of bad decisions that together resulted in him dying. Not doing even any one of them might’ve resulted in him living. [/quote]

Ok, now do MPD.  What could they have done differently?

Unless you're holding a seance there's not much to do with Karon's poor choices.  Or are you arguing that if someone has even a minor fault then it doesn't matter?[/quote]

Stop putting words in my mouth and then telling me what I said.

What I said was the deceased made a series of bad decisions that in summary caused his death. And that not doing any one of that combination of bad decisions might’ve been enough to have saved him.

Did MPD make bad decisions? I don’t know. I haven’t seen the video yet.  Cops make bad decisions too. But cops had absolutely ZERO bearing on him not wearing a helmet. And that is likely what had to be the greatest contributor to his death. If the same exact scenario played out with no other factors changed, he’d be alive right now.

And the cops had nothing to do with him choosing not to wear a helmet. That’s all on him. [/quote]
