FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Some might call Karl Hirsch a hero.
A Fort Lauderdale cop, Hirsch used his patrol cruiser to help stop a moving car that had two little girls in the backseat and no driver. But instead of praise, Hirsch got a 20-hour unpaid suspension.
The Jan. 26 incident caused no injuries, but triggered an Internal Affairs investigation ordered by Police Chief Patrick Lynn. On May 24, Internal Affairs investigators notified Hirsch he was being investigated for potentially violating department policy by “carelessly, negligently or intentionally causing waste, loss or damage to any city property.”

It seemed clear to me the two previous incidents had no relation to the third.
Well in all fairness eventually the driver less car would have crashed into a tree, or driven into a waterway or an oncoming semi and stopped on its own. 🙄
This is the third. In which he only rear ended the car with the children in it.
YAH! Where does it say we gotta read articles? Just shoot from the hip. Thass wat I always say!
