THANK YOU FOR THE LINKS ABOVE!!! If anyone really wants to understand the entire situation, which is why I started the thread, it is all right there in these links. THE REAL STORY AND COMPLETE INVESTIGATION RESULTS
The investigation reveals the cop over stepped his authority when he left the IHOP to "stop" the kids. His contract with IHOP states he is not to pursue these kids. The most fucked up thing is the City of Alexandria tried to sue IHOP for the money they paid the Browns for the cops mistake. As a few people have posted .... All the cop needed to do was get the Jeeps license plate and call it in. He was the one who broke the rules of his contract when he pursued the kids and created the situation that resulted in Aaron Brown being shot 2 times and killed in the back seat of the Jeep. That is why the City of Alexandria paid the Browns $1.1 million in a settlement instead of going to court and having everything exposed. These are the facts and they are irrefutable.
