First, I don't think anyone should loose their life, especially when they are serving our city and keeping our streets safe.
However, I can't overlook a couple of things. He was at birthday party of a friends house....was he intoxicated? Also, was he wearing his seat belt? The law is I must wear my seatbelt and if I don't, I get a ticket. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Second, he was in an unmarked car. This is a car that us tax payers are paying for, not to mention the gas that goes into it. Do we allow our city employess to use our tax dollars for their personal use?
I feel terrible for the honorable gentleman and his family. However, I think we have a systematic problem here that needs addressed.
