In all honesty I am probably the only one who thinks that the DA is right to charge the guy with 2nd degree murder. First he was in posession of drugs, second he was eluding police. Third it was this guy who threw the box of said drugs out the window and into the road. Officer Matthews was on his way to assist the other officers in pursuit of the criminal. ALL officers who go through BLET are given courses in driving a patrol vehicle in situations such as these. Therefore they are prepared and able to handle the vehicle. It is not often you hear of an officer losing control of a car. Officer Matthews swerved to miss the box because it was full of drugs and they needed it as eveidence. Not to mention but put yourself in an officer's shoes. If you need backup you want another officer there quickly.
