My Friends Want To Sue An Old Man And The Police Department Because A Friend Was Killed In A Motorcycle Accident That He Caused

Card image cap

Gonna use my burner for this one. Recently in our city, a friend of ours was out late on his bike driving recklessly as the norm for him. My sister who’s apart of the local PD said her coworker friend saw him going over 60 mph in a 45 and turned on his lights. My bike friend pretty much said “f that” and went full throttle. The pursuit didn’t even start before he ran a red light and t-boned a small truck going 90 mph. He was in bits my sister said but the old man in the truck wasn’t hurt.

Now my other friends and the family of the deceased are trying to sue the truck driver and the PD. My friends who are all in their 20s are even trying to figure out who the truck driver was so they can mess with him. They argue that the police shouldn’t have scared him with a pursuit and that the truck driver probably intentionally drove in front of him as an act of vigilantism. The bike friend normally wore a GoPro to show off his reckless speeding to us but the PD said they didn’t recover a camera or even a mount.

Does the family have a case at all? I secretly hope they don’t because honestly the guy was a danger on the road normally. A real hot head that always wanted to run from the police one day. The police could have a treasure trove of evidence against the family if they found his IG. The friends who are mad are real FTP kind of people no matter how obvious a case might be and the parents are playing the “not my son, he would never do such a thing” shtick when they actually loved watching his footage. I can’t change them but the stupidity of it annoys me.
