Police Brutality: who’s going to stop them? High-speed chase On the night of March 3, 1991, King and two passengers, Bryant Allen and Freddie Helms, were driving west on Foothill Freeway the in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles. Prior to driving on the Foothill Freeway, the three men had spent the night watching a basketball game and drinking at a friend's house in Los Angeles. Five hours after the incident, King's blood-alcohol level was found to be slightly below the legal limit, implying his blood alcohol level may have fallen from 0.19 while he was driving, which is more than twice the legal driving limit in California. At 12:30 am, Officers Tim and Melanie Singer, husband-and-wife members of the California Highway Patrol, noticed King's car speeding on the freeway.
Open Boarders Cause Trouble While driving home from a night out, Alfredo Ramos, an illegal, undocumented immigrant, originally born in Mexico, brought an early death upon two young girls. Ramos, whose blood alcohol level was over three times the legal limit, was speeding on a Virginia Beach highway when he collided his 1998 Mitsubishi into the back of another car sitting at a red light. The impact, sudden and intense, broke the neck of one of the girls, 17 year old Allison Kuhnhardt, killing her immediately. The passenger, 16 year old Tessa Tranchant, was also not lucky enough to survive the deadly crash. Amazingly, Ramos, who had already been charged twice with being drunk in public and once with a DUI, walked away from the accident with nothing but a swollen cheek.

Another motorist stops to help and tells you, “I was behind your car for a few miles, I saw the whole thing happen. Your vehicle flipped 2 times, landed on its’ top and skidded for several feet.” This scenario actually happened to me in 1996 near Boise, Idaho. What I didn’t know was the reason my friend had fallen asleep at the wheel was because he was drunk also. He’d had several shots over the course of the night and hadn’t bothered to tell me before we started our trip home. He not only put his life in danger but mine as well.
