A horrible tragic accident all the way around.

No. Not "all the way around." This incident is far more horrible for the victim, who will likely never walk or talk again and will certainly not ever enjoy the full and active life he previously had again. If he is lucky in court, he *might* be able to get a civil settlement from the government paid by the taxpayers to cover his medical expenses and make sure his wife has an income to permit her to care for him for the rest of their lives together.
The cop, on the other hand, has paid absolutely NOTHING for his actions in this case. He was cleared by an inherently biased "internal investigation" by his fellow cops, and even if the lawsuit is successful, will never have to pay so much as a dime seeing as it will be covered by the taxpayers.
