It doesn't matter what he was doing. Point is, this is what causes accidents and he could have killed someone. I don't care if he was checking the weather or texting; cops should pull off the road and come to a stop before operating their phone FOR ANY REASON just like the rest of us.
Maybe when an officer does this and someone gets killed and there is a lawsuit and the city or town loses, then the chief will admit that the officer did something wrong. Meanwhile, of course he's going to say there was no wrongdoing ... he's covering his own rear with no conern for the safety of others. Pretty ironic.
