I think it's important to understand that the officer involved was
responding to a call of "shots fired, officer down," which is one of
the most terrifying situations that a police officer can experience. I
am sure that the response that was underway was justified and that the
ensuing investigation will report the same. In this type of situation
I believe all units are authorized to respond to the scene.

It was a terrible incident that took place this week. The death of the
motorcyclist, and injury to his passenger, was a tragic event. I don't
believe that it was due to any negligence on the part of the police.
