Booo Hooo.... the COP in this case is a Fu@king A$$hole.... Whether he KILLED him intentionally or not.... he KILLED SOMEONE with his 5000 pound vehicle in broad daylight, dry conditions and in a friggin bike lane. The cop was breaking the law by being the the frickin bike lane to begin with. I don't care if the cop was scratching his balls and accidently hit him and killed him. Let see..... how many people in the 40 some years I've been driving have I killed someone on the road..... NONE. How people have l hit with my car..... NONE. How many people does an average person hit on the road... for 99.9% of people it's NONE.
This was negligent..... he should not have been given a license to drive, much less a badge. If I was on the jury I'd say prison for at least 10 years.
Wow. Just wow. I honestly can't believe you are spewing all of this. Yes, it is very tragic that a cyclist died. And yes,I believe a full investigation is called for, and appropriate actions are taken afterwards. But to make this many assumptions and allegations without the knowledge of what exactly happened is purely speculative and does a disservice to everyone involved. And to follow up with your opinion of cops is demonstrating ignorance.
I really wish that cops could have an opt-out option. People that feel that cops are "Fu@king A$$hole"'s should have the option of opting out of police service, then if they ever need to call the police, the police will not need to respond.
And incidentally to the poster above who mentioned the dash cam... Yes, that will certainly be invaluable, if it was turned on at the time. Each department sets their own standards, and I don't know LASO's policy, but many departments do not record all of the time. The camera is usually activated by doing things like turning on emergency lights, removing the shotgun or rifle, or if the officer physically turns it on. Just saying there is a reasonably good chance there is no dash cam footage.
