By the time that squad car was responding the suspect was already dead. This happened a block away from where I live. This type of response is reckless. Hitting that motorcyclist was a mistake and the crazed response was not warranted. By the time that line of squad cards flew down the street there was no longer any threat. They hit a citizen in service of an overreaching solidarity with fellow officials. Said solidarity may be a benefit, but not reckless response.</div>

responding to a call of "shots fired, officer down," which is one of<br>
the most terrifying situations that a police officer can experience. I<br>
am sure that the response that was underway was justified and that the<br>
ensuing investigation will report the same. In this type of situation<br>
I believe all units are authorized to respond to the scene.<br>

It was a terrible incident that took place this week. The death of the<br>
motorcyclist, and injury to his passenger, was a tragic event. I don't<br>
believe that it was due to any negligence on the part of the police.<br>
