STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES!

I have an accident reconstruction certification from A&M and I am recognized as an expert witness for accident reconstruction. I have been to court to testify when accidents with police have cost the lives of civilians in our community. It is never a pretty sight to witness these tragedies. I came to know an officer who was responding to an officer involved foot chase with a violent suspect. In the course of this officer’s response he collided with a vehicle occupied by a 17 year old pregnant girl, who was tragically killed. This officer’s torment and suffering was beyond my ability to convey. Not only did the world lose a precious young girl and her unborn child but a short couple years later we lost our colleague to a self inflicted gun shot wound. DON’T ANY OF YOU THINK FOR A SECOND that this officer is not already paying his DUE PUNSIHMENT. His self inflicted regret, remorse and internal depression will HAUNT HIM FOR LIFE! We have already tragically lost a precious pair and I pray for their souls, their family and I too pray for this poor officer because he needs it beyond anyone left alive after this tragedy. As for reconstructing this accident it is obvious that the officers speed is the greatest contributing factor yet it is not the only contributing factor. Those are the words and approach that this prosecution will take.

I have been badge toting for 20 years and I have seen it done good ways and bad ways. I can say without hesitation I have done it both ways but with a clear conscience I have made it my highest priority to do unto others as I would have an officer do unto my Grandmother.

It has worked pretty damn well for me.

As for the salary stuff, I have lived comfortably within my means. THAT IS THE KEY!
