First off I hope he recovers, I generally don't wish ill upon others.
Second, just about every single police officer to ever walk this earth speeds and disobeys countless traffic laws without any fear of legal penalties; it disgusts me too. He should be let go for what he did, he's lucky he's alive.
I ran a red light once in a patrol car for no good reason.......the behind chewing I got from my FTO is a lesson I will NEVER forget. I obey the transportation code unless there is danger to life and even then I stop at intersections. While I wouldn't go so far anymore as to say that officers have no reason to fear legal penalties...I am still more scared of that FTO! I seriously think about it everytime I get into a hurry.
