Quoting: Nostril Domus Fraternal Order of Police Spokesman Pat Camden identified the officer as a 43-year-old veteran of the Chicago Police. The officer was headed home on Saturday evening when the horrifying incident occurred. As he was driving home, the officer says he saw a child unexpectedly run into the street. In order not to strike the girl directly, the cop jumped off his motorcycle, pulling it down on its side on the pavement. However, the motorcycle skidded and flipped, hitting the 4-year-old girl and her 18-year-old cousin, John Passley. As the officer attempted to provide aide to the girl, her father, identified as Christopher Middleton, 26, came running out of a nearby restaurant and aggressively approached the officer and began shouting, officials said. The cop argues that he identified himself as a police officer but Middleton still hit him in the face and knocked him to the ground before striking him repeatedly. According to the Daily Herald, the officer said, “Take it easy, I’m the Police.” But Middleton replied, “I don’t give a f*ck who you are,” and punched him in the face.

(OP) User ID: 9357516 United States 08/15/2012 08:37 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Passley reportedly began kicking the officer, joining Middleton in the assault. Shortly after, the officer drew his weapon and fired once, fatally wounding Middleton. He was pronounced dead at around 10:14 p.m. Saturday at Loyola Medical Center. “At that point he’s defending his life — he’s on the ground, he’s about to lose consciousness from the people who are beating him and draws his weapon in defense of his life,” Camden said. “The officer responded accordingly.” Sounds familiar!!! |

I can only imagine the emotions that were going through the dads head as he seen his daughter get run over. But then i can imagine the fear that the cop has, as he is getting beat by this guy. It was an accident period. A crime happened afterwards by both parties involved. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 20901334 United States 08/15/2012 08:57 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yet if the Dad was on the ground and being beaten by police after hitting the girls and he pulled a gun to defend himself, he would be charged with various crimes and most likely convicted. THAT is the problem. Had the exact situation occurred but a non-police officer was driving the motorcycle and the off duty cop was the Father of the victim, well, we all know how the article and the story would have played out. |

No, no you dont and what's puzzling you even now, is why youre not getting a flood of 'hail yeayuh'& 'buss his ass' unanimous affirmative responses... |

GOD User ID: 1524508 United States 08/15/2012 10:10 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If you know anything real about driving a motorcycle, then you KNOW that "laying it down" is the stupidest, most bone headed move you can make. When you "lay it down" you have given up having control over the motorcycle and have left the final results to CHANCE. It is equivelent to a car driver removing his steering wheel and throwing it out the window and then covering his eyes. The officer in this regard was negligent, especially considering he is a professional driver and supposedly knew better than turn his vehicle into a missle. He just wanted a cover story so he would not be blamed for hitting the kids with his motorcycle. For some reason people think that if a driver lays it down then he is doing the utmost to prevent a crash. Total Bullshit.
