and yet another tragedy...motor cop killed by truck

http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/metro/20030627-612-n26489.html

Note that this officer was very experienced, and was probably wearing
protective gear. I hope they fry this bastard who deliberately hit him!

Protective gear has nothing to do with it. He was trying to get off his
bike to avoid the truck, which made a U-turn to come after him. Say
goodbye to civilization, Mr. Kevin Williams. On to Death Row and the
Needle for you, motherfucker.

 

Ditto. The worlds gone mad.

 

Freom the article.

Bennett, 38, was a defending champion at the regionwide motorcycle
training and competition held at Qualcomm Stadium this month.

3/4 helmet, boots, flak vest and gloves -- i.e. uniform for a
motorcycle patrolman.

Also from the article:

Seven minutes passed from the time of the crash to the arrest.

Williams suffered unspecified injuries and was transported to a
Hillcrest hospital.




Since there were several hit-and-runs between the assault on Officer
Bennett and the arrest, I imagine that Kevin Williams will be occupied
for some time to come with legal matters. As one of the booking
officers said: "I hope you don't have any plans for tonight." Or a lot
of nights to come.

Following this incident, and a shooting death of an officer in
Oceanside, I saw on the news last night that there was another incident
in Oceanside where a driver tried to run down a cop, and wound up taking
a few caps. Not bad shooting, considering the officer was dodging the
guy's stolen car at the time!

 

Had a case like this in San Francisco a few years back. The motorcycle
patrolman was able to hit the fleeing car _after_ having been knocked
over. Nothing like a bullet hole to make a car easy to identify
later...
