Ok, so maybe the cop made a mistake.
EVERY time I have ever made a mistake on the road and a cop has seen it, it has cost me $$$ and demerits, and increased insurance risk profile.
I guess I should just learn never to make mistakes.
Cops are only human they should be allowed to make mistakes.
We should be careful not to tar all of the police by the actions of one individual. Too bad there is not a single police officer stating that maybe, just maybe this individual got it wrong. They are all closing ranks, just like "the biggest gang in the country"
When I was a young fulla, 20 years ago I was tramping along a bit quicker than I really ought to have been, and I saw a copper traveling in the other direction, he flashed his headlights at me, and I slowed down a little, went around the corner, and took an alternate route, all the while expecting to see the whirling lights in my rear view. They never showed up and I carried on my way merrily.
Later that day, my old man asked me if I had been going a little quick on my way out in the morning. Apparently the cop in question actually did commence to whirl his flashing lights and executed a rapid U turn. In doing so, he forced another motorist off the road and into the gravel shoulder. The cop felt obliged to stop and check if the motorist was ok.
The motorist gave the cop a dressing down for bad driving, forcing him off the road.
Cop's response: "That car just overtook you at 127 km/h!!" to which the motorist replied
"Yeah, but he didn't force me off the road, you did".
Motorist made a formal complaint at the cop shop too. That cop had numerous complaints made about him. Eventually for whatever reason (not suggesting because of complaints) he transferred to the Waikato. I will probably forever wonder if it is the same veteran officer who has toiled tirelessly to reduce the road toll. When he was in the BOP he rejoiced in the fact that the local population had nicknamed him robocop.
It was a small town and I knew the motorist involved, he went round to narc on me to my old man after he laid the complaint

If you went to work, done something incredibly stupid and killed a person, do you think anyone would write it off as a mistake?, a mistake you should be allowed to make?
Likewise the people that are suggesting sympathy for the cop?
If you killed a person do you think you should get sympathy?, would you put your hand up and say "what about me?"*
*Not saying that cop involved has done that of course.

Am I interpreting this right by the demeanour of a few of the posts.................do only cops lie?

Swish.
I've been looking for an opening.

I think that someone said that ALL humans lie as a defence mechanism. Considering that cops are charged with upholding truth and justice, the general expectation is that they should not lie.
It's ok for the rest of us though.

No its not only cops that lie, but they do take advantage of their situation and profession to protect that lie.

The lies of our esteemed world leader george dubya & co are slowly filtering down to the lowest common denominator the po-lice. Does weapons of mass destruction sound familiar?

Haven't read literally any of this thread but this sort of thing isn't new by any means of the word.
My old man was a cop in the 60s - early 70s and he was collected in similar fashion by another cop on his way to work on the patrol bike by a senior sargent in a patrol car on Riccarton road Christchurch....the accident they actually had to lift the car & the bike off the old man to get him free.
Shit happens, and when it's meant to happen to you it does no matter what the situation.
Being a cop puts a target on your back and everyone loves firing at an easy target
