My brother was killed in a 'high' speed chase by a police officer 20 years ago. My brother was riding a recreational 3 wheeled ATV (without a helmet) and the police officer (the 19 year police chief's son) saw fit to cut him off in his squad car to stop him!! Needless to say, My brother hit the squad car, flew over the hood, and sustained fatal head injuries when he hit the pavement! Oddly enough . . . ALL recording of police and dispatch radio calls vanished within hours!!! My mom tried to take legal action but there was no evidence left to stand on . . . granted my brother was no angel and in a small town was known to the cops, but covering up such an gross negligence on the part of a public servant should have been punishable in and of itself. Nothing ever came of any of my mom's efforts to make accountable the local cops responsible for my brother's death!
