DPS publishes explanation of persecution after a fatal crash

Atlanta-Die Georgia DPS publishes an explanation of traffic tracking after a fatal crash of a 19-year-old.

Release:

Every life that is lost on Georgia's streets is a tragedy, and the death of a 19-year-old Cooper Schoenke in this incident is almost heartbreaking. Our hearts are with his family and his relatives in this devastating time when they face the unimaginable loss of a son, a brother, a friend and a member of our community.

At this point we know that a soldier of the state of Georgia tried to observe a vehicle at high speeds with a marked patrol car, which was dangerously driven between the alleys of the I-20 and others. What could have been a short encounter that quickly escalated when the driver Faduma Mohamed made the decision, continued her unpredictable driving and hit the vehicle powered by Cooper Schoenke in less than two minutes.

Let us be clear: Faduma Mohamed's unpredictable and reckless driving made a serious danger for the public before being pursued by a soldier of the state of Georgia, and the persecution was initiated by the suspect at the moment when she decided to follow a rightful order to stop. The importance of stopping the responsibility of a driver cannot be overlooked or overrated. Compliance with legal instructions is the individual law that would prevent almost all encounters and encounters from using the use. If people don't keep up, they not only endanger themselves, but also others. The pursuit of the department is based on the legal reason, shaped by training courses and guided by a clear standard that the actions are objectively sensible. We take important steps to train, monitor, check and evaluate the employment of our civil servants. A complete and thorough review of the incident is currently underway, which includes the specialized collision reconstruction team and the office for professional standards.

Criminal prosecution faces one of the most difficult challenges that can imagine: The duty of protecting life with responsibility, preventing people who have no consideration of the lives of others. It is a complex responsibility. Situations can change at a moment and have to be sworn in real time by the brave men and women to protect our communities. If the law is not enforced, those who break it will be deactivated, and the crime will grow at the expense of law. What we can do – and what we will continue to do is the one who violates the law and make sure that they are fully pursued by criminal law that the law of Georgia allows.
