Cops are NOT like taxes. Taxes might skin you alive but they don't lie while they're doing it.

Ok, I'll bear that in mind if I ever lie......

Of course. He was however a frightened immature 18 year old who had a lot to learn. The cop was a trained proffesional who should have known better.

And he might still be alive had he done so.

Meh, cops are like taxes, bad roads, waiting lists for surgery and inter-island ferries, a part of life.....maybe not everybodies cup of tea, maybe not all as shit hot as some would like but hey, what ya goin' to do eh.....

Burn the cop by media you reckon Patrick?....you could be right., The cop still deserves demoting IMHO.

It would become evident that this officer had the opportunity to stop him -- and didn't.....

From my reading of the events the officer didn't have any opportunity to stop the speeding vehicle. All he could do was pursue as it was obvious that the offender wasn't going to stop.

I've never had a problem with the police up that way either

Sure, the cop should have followed protocol, so he isnt without blame, But the majority lies with the drunken idiot behind the wheel.

The court case will be interesting to say the least, but if the complaints authority is any measure somebody will receive a royal butt reaming, and rightly so.

And what action will they be taking against the driver of the car who was the real killer of their son?

Probably nothing like this:

BEST QUOTE OF 2008...BRAVO FOR SHERIFF JUDD.
Gotta admire the man for being honest.

Florida got it right. Bravo for Sheriff Judd.

POLK COUNTY FLORIDA SHERIFF GRADY JUDD

An illegal alien in Polk County Florida who got pulled over in a routine traffic stop ended up 'executing' the deputy who stopped him. The deputy was shot eight times, including once behind his right ear at close range. Another deputy was wounded and a police dog killed. A state wide manhunt ensued.

The murderer was found hiding in a wooded area with his gun. After he shot at them, SWAT team officers open fired and hit the guy 68 times.

Now here's the kicker:

Naturally, the liberal media went nuts and asked why they shot the poor undocumented immigrant 68 times.

Sheriff Grady Judd told the Orlando Sentinel: 'Because that's all the ammunition we had.'

Manslaughter would have to figure some where in the equation I would guess for the driver. That will be no suprise.

As for the maverick copper we will have to wait and see.
