"Nearly"? LOL. Here in Ft. Laud, we had three (recent) incidents where speeding cops hit and killed pedestrians. One guy was hit so hard, his body split in pieces. That cop wasn't charged as the pedestrian was jaywalking. I believe the cops in the other two cases lost their jobs and one went to jail.
I had an incident (road-rage) involving a BSO deputy (in a marked car, out-of-uniform). Dude races around me at a right on red after honking his horn (I was checking for traffic). We're driving down the street, side-by-side, windows down and yelling @ each other. Hilarious. I filed a report, IA investigated and, surprise, surprise...no findings of wrong-doing. Douchebags.
