MODERATORS
Because it’s not assault or attempted murder. It’s DUI.
Did you read the article? He woke up and purposely drove into the officers vehicles. This wasn't an accident.
Being drunk and getting behind the wheel is not an accident. They chose to become drunk. They chose to get into their vehicle.
This is similar to calling theft an accident just because you got caught.
I'd say it was more like seeing the cops come during the robbery, firing a few rounds off in their direction while trying to run away, and then having them charge you for handling a weapon while intoxicated.
They aren't wrong, but seems like a few charges are missing.
