And another idiot on the road, only this guy should have known better.

I watched the video over several times.

Yep. Idiot cop. He took two lives.
Clearly speeding judging how he flew past the cop car that was recording it.
No flashing lights at that speed? (traveling 94 mph and NOT going to an emergency)

Bastard only got 5 years for killing two people (the same I'd get for paying an SP???).

heres a link if you're curious

One of those people, the driver of the car turning left across three lanes into on coming traffic had 7 time the legal limit of alcohol, but was described as a good kid by his supporters.

The appeal should be interesting, something about 'an intervening cause'.

I read that too.
Still,I don't know if being totally sober would have helped much. On a city street with stores, a Wendy's etc. , probably a speed limit of 50 or 60 km/hr, would you reasonably expect a police car to be travelling at 150 km/hr at you without flashing lights?

Given normal speeds the kid probably would have had plenty of time to complete the turn sober or not.
It would be a tragedy if the cop got away with it for an 'intervening cause'.

Makes you wonder how the Toronto cop that shot and killed Sammy Yatin (sp?) on the streetcar will fair in the courts…
