Are you sure this wasn't a Seattle cop or a former Seattle cop? I've seen one bicycle cop on Alki that I'm almost positive was stoned, but he didn't run over anyone. Seems to me the police forces are really getting diluted with idiots! A badge and a gun don't make you a commando or a god...you are still a public SERVANT.

Well, he has already been suspended and no doubt will be charged in court. What else do you want? Castration?

Just another cop who thinks they are above the laws they enforce on the public. Sad to say, but he'll probably get a slap on the wrist.

You do the crime you better be prepared to do the time, even when you are a police officer. I hope this woman recovers quickly.
