Prosecutors on Monday announced the filing of vehicular manslaughter charges against Bakersfield police Officer Ricardo Robles in connection with a deadly January crash.
BPD car data shows it was travelling at 100 MPH but slowed down to about 70 MPH at the intersection.
There was no stop sign for the people that he hit.
Robles DNA was on the driver side airbags, so he was definitely driving.
Remember, most places even without the evidence above or even the eventual outcome of the case, chances are most places would fire someone for this back in January.
I’ve seen instances in the private sector where making too wide a turn and hitting a car, or a minor fender bender, or getting a moving violation of any kind gets a person immediately fired. No administrative leave with pay. No hearing. No union to pay legal bills to fight the cause of the accident or legality of the ticket. It’s way past time for accountability for the blue wall.
