So with your logic R Krause let the man run a stop sign i mean its not like someone would be walking across the street when he does or little children playing. I mean stop signs are only for the cops right? they have to stop while so guy can blast through them without any regard to anyones safety because thats okay right? i mean the cops chasing him didnt lose control but that is because they are trained for that sort of thing, but its okay for him to do it and lose control. You did read that right? He went through the sing and lost control not the police. So he isnt responsible but the men and women who are paid to protect you are because they wanted to stop him from doing things like that. a stop sign is there for safety maybe u should blame it for trying to make him stop
