Yes I know the source is a right wing group... That is WHY I looked this up in a few different places to verify. The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office posted the unedited video on their FB page (I hate linking FB to here)
Long and short of this is 3 Teens stole a car, then went on a high speed chase thinking they could out run the cops (and Motorola) They ended up crashing and sinking into the bottom of a pond at nigh in the dark where they drowned.
While I have sympathy that they never lived a full life and learned the lesson crime is stupid and doesn't pay.... Blaming the police for your child's criminal choices, and YOUR failed parenting is ridiculous. The Police did not make them steal the car, the Police did not make them crash while committing felony evasion, the Police did not drown them, AND they had no obligation to try and save them... yet they still tried to go in the water after them. Then to have the video edited and the cry raised that the cops are evil and didn't save your baby's, pushed by a liberal anti cop narrative is beyond insulting.
The word of the day is Responsibility, be responsible for your actions, and stop blaming everyone else for your choices.

I live in St Pete (Pinellas County) and followed this case. The girls falsely "borrowed" a car. The girls are in the system for prior bad deeds. The owner of the car passed the girl's identities to the police. Car was located and a short chase began. Then a decision was made to drop the chase and catch them later, since they knew who they were. The girls did not know the chase was broken off. They were heading east bound and thought they could take a short cut and jump on the southbound lane of I-275. It was pitch black outside and the girls drove into the small lake at the cemetery going about 50mph. The police did not witness the accident. They were not close. By the time the police discovered the girls were underwater, it was too late.
The family is blaming the police because they started the chase, then they are also blaming the police for not being there when the car into the water. The Pinellas County Sheriff is a good man and will not cave to these lawsuits.

Not unlike the quote about Trevon Johnson who was killed while doing a B and E,
“You have to look at it from every child’s point of view that was raised in the hood,” Harris continued. “You have to understand … how he gonna get his money to have clothes to go to school? You have to look at it from his point of view.”
Ya that all makes crime OK.

CPO (Join to see) - I don't get that mind set, sorry. I firmly believe that you work for what you need and want in this world. Stealing or robbery isn't work.

The family is just being human, looking for scapegoats to relieve themselves of responsibility for their own failures. Hopefully they eventually come to understand why hey are wrong to blame anyone but the teens who stole the car and the adults who failed to provide necessary guidance to those teens. It might save lives at some point in the future.
As for police, they need to realize that for all practical intent, they are always on camera. Hearts and minds need to be a priority as well as the safety of officers.
