“As far as the bike rider goes, I sense he wrote his own script; if he stops, he lives. He didn’t, so he doesn’t.”
Perhaps if he was a rapist, druggie, murderer or something else.
Negligent homocide for starters but we know that will never happen.
I make no excuse for the PO; he used extremely bad judgement on that day and caused an unnecessary tragedy. The bike rider also used bad judgement, however, he never should have paid for it with his life. The PO should be held accountable for what occurred. I, for one ,would not feel comfortable if he should continue as an LEO in that, or any, community.
