He needs to be put down.

Why don't the police just do what they would normally do and forge the right papers, get false testimony, whatever... you know, in the name of justice?

A reckless homicide and criminal recklessness charge will remain.
He'll still go to jail my friend. . . he'll still go to jail.

In our state charges like this often result in a suspended sentence. I'd HIGHLY doubt if he actually ends up serving any time. Probably probation.

Reckless Homicide results in a suspended sentence?!
Wow, after some research apparently the MAXIMUM sentence for reckless homicide in IN is 8 years, which means there is no way this fucking cocksucker will serve more than 4 years. Goddammit.

The piece of shit prosecutor will plead him out to a suspended sentence most likely. The same prosecutor who threw out these charges also allowed a guy who slaughtered a family of seven to plea out earlier this year. He's not exactly "tough" on real crime. I've got a friend who was just in his court. Basically he offers you a plea agreement where you plea to one charge or he threatens to try to make every charge stick and promises the maximum. So my friend was put into a position where it was either take a 3 month sentence for a felony or fight against it and risk 14 years in prison.

Darn abuse of power. I vote that we take this into our own hands.

The police officers who "mishandled" the case should be fired then.

No, they should be charged with criminal misconduct.

I've been following this story from the beginning and it's absolutely despicable. Supposedly no one had any idea he was drunk even though his BAC was .19 and multiple witnesses said he was weaving like a madman just prior to the accident. From the beginning the news came out saying that the motorcycles "failed to get out of the way" of an emergency vehicle.
They lied about the nature of the call that he was going to as well. Originally it was to assist a "felony drug warrant". Now the real story has come out and it was a misdemeanor failure to appear warrant.
His buddies got onto the scene and from the first minutes they were pretty obviously planning a cover-up. This asshole is going to end up walking after killing one man and seriously injurying two others because he's a cop.
Anyone else who was drunk at 11am while on the job and wrecked a company car killing and causing serious injury to people would be IMMEDIATELY terminated. Instead this guy is 'suspended' pending the outcome of the case against him.
I live in the area and think this is absolutely outrageous. Anyone have any ideas how I can organize something against this abortion of justice?
I wish I knew of something diplomatic that would actually work. The only other suggestions I have would make the Punisher blush and Deadpool giggle like a school girl.
If this happened to your brother, your son, your husband, your friend... how could you not want to take matters into your own hands?
I hope you didn't write this with a straight face. They knew. I guarantee you they knew. This is just another thin blue line case. Assfucks protecting their own. Carry on, citizen.
He said, "supposedly." I read that as "allegedly."
Protest, or just " notify" the public that even though he drinks and drives while on duty as a police, at least in the future he won't be able to patrol.
i live in the Indy area as well and have been following this story on the local news channels. For the last 3 days even the news anchors were pissed off (you could clearly tell) when the guys lawyer was doing interviews saying that "the city had no right to take my clients blood in order to prove that he was 3 times over the legal limit". fucking retarded. this asshole was visibly drunk at the scene and falling over drunk after the crash, refused a breathalyzer and had his blood taken by EMT's.
http://www.madd.org/ <-- there is nothing better than women coming together for a cause of justice. Look into giving them the information; MADD is just one step towards getting organized.
