He survived getting shot in the face last year.

Prayers for his wife and young child

From the BRPD Union on Facebook. So sad. Only 31 years old.

Prayers to the family and officer. Hope they overcome their grief in time.

On another note, funeral processions with bike officers really need to stop. They are always flying and I'm shocked it doesn't happen more often.

What's the chances the a-hole was texting ? I'm getting sick of dodging cars crossing or coming over into my lane b/c they are fooling around with their damn phones.



The policeman was working a funeral and there is a chance he was going at high speed to the next light. Truck pulled out but if you are expecting vehicles at 45mph and he was at high speed it’s tough to judge.

It's tough to see motorcycles. Could the sun have been in the driver's eyes?

It is tough and when you are pulling out you are expecting something at 45 mph.

And I’m just speculating that he might have been going at a rate of speed. I don’t know but I’m sure the driver is traumatized. No one wants that.

And thanks to the EMS and medical personnel who tried to save him. It sounds like they did their best.

There was a Slidell officer who died a couple of months ago from injuries he sustained during a funeral escort.

Do we really need funeral escorts?

No. It's past time to do away with them.

Well then his lights would have been on and only an idiot pulls out in front of a cop when he’s running lights AND sirens.

Well that’s true but it happens. When I was in college a guy came down my street on a bike doing 110 and truck turned left in front of him and he died in my front yard. The guy saw the motorcycle but on a 30 mph residential street just couldn’t judge it.

You would think they would know to point the stars on the flag to the East.
