Hope the officer made it home safe.
It’s the kid’s fault for being on the road where the cop could hit him.
Nanny staters have pursued mobile phone users to the ends of the earth.
Governments are happy to capitalize - literally - by writing tickets.
Meanwhile, cops do 90mph on the highway in non-emergency situations while talking on a hand held phone. Their cruisers have laptops, plate readers, radios, and more.
Did the cops cite the offending driver for ‘impeding an officer’?
Maybe the victim had a dog. The offending officer could the go over and shoot it.
So, having a badge doesn’t cure being distracted while driving. Who knew?
Fire him and charge him with manslaughter.

Had almost the exact same thing here in Reno a few days ago. Thankfully no one died.
It’s okay when a cop does it. They’re more equal than normal Americans.
Where I live, a cop ran over an older lady crossing the street in broad daylight.
Another one tried to molest a woman in the alley with booze on his breath.
Cops are no better than the average Joe.....they just have bigger egos.
No,it just keeps one from going to jail when they kill someone. His first words probably were,”I was in fear for my life”.
In this story, a ‘School Crossing Guard Supervisor’ ran into a kid.
If that’s not ironic enough, the kid was a cop’s son.
Traffic fines double in a construction zone.
“Cops are no better than the average Joe.....they just have bigger egos.”
And deadly weapons!
How many of us would be afforded the anonymity of this officer?
The CHP officer, identified only as a 49-year-old man from Willows
How many of us would be afforded the anonymity of this officer?
One set of laws for us, one set of laws for them.
Justice is not blind......
I think the police are, for the most part, armed report- takers. They don’t prevent crime by their presence, and are not obligated to protect individual citizens.
in my area, there are special rights for cops in cars to use their cell phones while driving...its we mere peasants that the rules were made for....
