He said he "did what he was trained to do". Sounds to me like he wasn't trained at all. As a LEO, I can usually see the officer's point of view and even understand it, but this story even makes me afraid to pull over! Incidents like this are part of what makes it so hard to do the job right these days. I despise monday morning quarterbacks, but just a little tactical training and application could have probably prevented this.

I hope they put him in GP and he gets *** raped for 10 years.
Didn't they ever look in the mirror to see there was a LEO behind them before hauling **** away at the light? The motorcyclists deserved to get pulled over, paralyzing him was a bit more punishment than he deserved.

10 years may not seem like enough, and I'll be the first to say it should be double but just wait.
With a solid guilty verdict, the victim will have stronger footing for a VERY LARGE civil suit against the defendant, his trainer (since he said he did what he was "trained" to do), his supervisors, his department and his city.
He's going to need to make parole so he can get a job to pay the civil judgement.

Cops are like anyone else. Most are level-headed and some are total ******. We all know which category this one falls in. It's a shame he only got 10 years. I would think the judge would have given him more, especially since he has no remorse. If I remember correctly, he had a couple similar incidents in the past but thankfully no one got hurt.

He needs his back broken. Eye fer an eye..... But then he would'nt feel those *** rapings he so deserves...
He's getting off easy..probably meet parole in 3 years.
The piece of ****.

I can't believe how smug this guy was during sentencing. Absolutely no remorse. First he tries to lie saying self defense, video proves he lied. Now he insists he acted in accordance with the law and his training. He says no amount of prison time will reverse the injury to the biker, nor will it rehabilitate since he doesn't recognize any criminal action on his part. He should have just told the truth, he panicked and F-uped really bad. Shown remorse and beg forgiveness from the biker; just manned up. How freaking pathetic.
His lawyer probably told him not to show any remorse... as someone else pointed out earlier in the thread, this is a huge payday for the victim, & any remorse, regret, or apology on the part of the LEO will only make it that much easier for the victim to collect... I ain't saying it right, but I am saying that's how the game is played...
