It was bad publicity for the LSP so they wrongfully canned him. Lawyers on both sides apparently agree.



The dude participated in fleeing the scene of an accident with injury. It wasn't just "bad publicity", it was a crime.

He very well could have stayed at the dock while his drunk buddy drove away, but he didn't. He helped load the boat up and haul arse.

This dude is getting treated with kid gloves because he is a cop. Plain and simple.

You, or I, would have to lawyer up and at best get a fine or some jail time, not a reward for your behavior in the form of back pay and your retirement benefits reinstated.

Nobody is holding this cop up to a higher standard than the general public is held to.

Fleeing the scene of an accident with a serious injury is a felony.

Time was, it was a crime to fail to report a felony. As we've criminalized more and more ordinary behavior I think that's become unenforceable, but it is definitely still illegal to help someone commit a felony.

Out of curiosity, what crime would/should have been charged with?
