"Shanghai woman allegedly hit by drunk driving police officer in NY" Uh, the woman was not Allegedly hit, she was indeed hit and killed. "Shanghai woman hit by allegedly drunk driving police officer in NY" would have been a better headline. "U.S. police officers, judges, and prosecutors will frequently get away with DUI. This guy would have as well if he hadn't killed someone." Wrong. But if you change the "Would have" to a "Could have" it would likely be much closer to reality. Officers of the law and courts DO get some professional courtesy and discretion in the US and in many many other countries. Not fair but its reality. Regardless of that fact though, this is a sad case and a tragedy for both the victims' families and the officer's family too. It really is too easy to be DUI and while the officer should have made a better judgment call, he now faces to consequences as well as the guilt of knowing what he has done...allegedly.

Horrible. U.S. police officers, judges, and prosecutors will frequently get away with DUI. This guy would have as well if he hadn't killed someone.
