What the video shows me is that the Officer made a BLATANT error in judgement. Has anyone explained why he made the sudden decision to leave the roadway, especially at that speed, with a sign in his direct path of travel? Let's not forget the fact that there is also an overpass merely a few feet away. Had the Officer not hit the tree, and continued over the embankment, the outcome could have been disastrous.
How about asking the LPD to produce the entire video, not an abbreviated version that only creates more questions than answers.
Thanks Kevin
