I don't think you're reading it correctly.

I handle claims for one of the big 3 insurance companies. I review police reports all the time involving pedestrians, and I can assure you it is very common for people to not be cited. Often times, the pedestrian is partially or fully responsible for themselves getting hit.
Also, fun fact, 75% or so cases I see are homeless people. I'm pulling that out of my arse, but it is a lot.

Citizen wouldn't have gotten ticket. Pedestrian is still at fault, crossing in middle of street not in crosswalk. Guessing the only reason cop got ticket was because vehicle did have dash cam and GPS w speed.
Don't let facts get in the way of our outrage!

Sad, but the pedestrian was illegally crossing the street. That's why there are cross walks to begin with and times when crossing is appropriate. Still very sad. That cop will have to live with the fact he killed someone either way.

A cop speeding not responding to a call. Shouldn’t be suprising.

Can't imagine why people take a dim view the police. Things like this.
Imagine if the cop was the pedestrian.

Is called vehicular homicide.
You gotta have drugs or alcohol involved to be vehicular.

District Attorney Hillar Moore says a separate investigation by his office is still ongoing “to determine if any formal charges will be filed.”

Can I assume this was a paid suspension?
You can but you'd be wrong. Paid leave is while an investigation is pending. Suspension without pay is usually part of the punishment once violation of policy and procedure has been confirmed

City is gonna pay out the arse on the civil suit

But not the department or the officer...
Another false assumption. If the dept is listed as a defendant in the suit, they payment will come from the insurance company
As for the officer. If he is named in the suit, the department (union) may feed him to the wolves. It's been determined that he acted as his own by the fact that he was disciplined by not abiding by department policy and procedure. It relieves some of, if not all, the departments obligation of defending the officer in a civil trial

So this a-hole makes an illegal pass at a light, speeds through an intersection, cuts in front of an ambulance, hits a pedestrian...
and all he got was a 5 day suspension and a speeding ticket?
frick this shite.

What would the penalty be for a civilian?
Negligent homicide. At best.

intersection of Florida Blvd. and N Acadian Thwy
There are lots of pedestrians on foot and bicycle as you travel on Florida towards downtown, and they do seem to come out of nowhere. You better watch your arse around M J's Food Mart.

I think we all agree with this statement. And no one wishes blame on the LEO. However, this situation highlights the problems society has with LE in general. If Joe Citizen was speeding and hit a pedestrian, even one jaywalking, then the responding LEOs wouldn't give Joe Citizen the compassionate side, they would charge him.
