This officer did make a horrendous error of judgment. It was not murder, he didn't deliberately set out to kill. However, he knew that a motor car is a lethal weapon, &, as such, should have been treated with respect. He failed on every count in this instance. Morally & professionally. He mis used the vehicle & killed a girl, for that he is paying the penalty.

As much as I hate to say this, but the pension he has paid into should be frozen, or transferred to a private pension fund. He has paid into the pot & should be entitled to draw his money back.

I agree the money would be better off going to the victims family, but thats not possible. Criminal injuries takes care of that side of matters.

I feel no sorrow for this officer, driving at 94 in a 30 area was not, & never will be acceptable. It is, quite simply, too dangerous. In my own opinion, in those circumstances, & at that speed, no driver has the reactions, & no vehicle has the stopping power, to prevent a collision.

This incident was avoidable.
