CAPE MAY, N.J. - June 8, 2009 (WPVI) -- A New Jersey state trooper has been found not guilty of death by auto for a September 2006 crash that killed two teen sisters on their way to a store to buy milk.
Trooper Robert Higbee ran a stop sign while pursuing a speeder with his lights and siren off, and killed Jacqueline and Christina Becker in Cape May County's Upper Township.
Trooper Higbee says he wants to get back to work on the force.

And that makes it better? That justifies blaring through roads without sirens on to alert others on the road?
Uhhh, no.

To serve and protect? NO! "To oppress and destroy"

That statement right there. Trooper Higbee is neither upset or even affected.
He killed two teenage girls and it does not bother him in the least but to say it rubbed him the wrong way....
