I'm familiar with that case and the officer was completely cleared. THe driver and passengers in the car were high and tried to skip a bill. The officer followed them outside, they ran to the car. When the officer told them to stop, the driver turned the car, increased speed and went right after him. The investigation found that the officer and eyewitness versions of events never wavered but the kids in the car told shifting and conflicting stories. The physical evidence backed up the officer, e.g. bullet trajectory through the front window, tire tracks showing speed and direction, etc.

It was a terrible event but no fault of the officer.

Interesting that the NYT and the Herald Sun this morning mentioned the blogging. They know. And we know they know...

The off-duty cop shot a passenger, not the driver. You'd think if the driver had an intent of hitting the officer, and the officer was in real danger, he'd have done so since, after all, he was not shot.

I do not want that particular officer employed by any of the local police departments in this area.

You guys who whitewashed his behavior and error in judgment have endangered us all.

BTW, I don't want any of you guys in on the whitewash hanging around here either. Go find somebody else's neighborhood to screw with. I'll be damned if I'll let this area turn into a fetid third-world hell-hole like some of you people think you've just gotta' have.
