There is over 6,000 sigs on there. Did you know this person or are you just passing it along? I have worked in a dispatch role for 2 years and can see both sides of the story. Were these kids doing a hundred mile an hour wheelies down the highway or worse a side street?
On the other hand that is no way to respond to a 911 call. You should never put your personal feelings into a call like that. The trooper has since been suspended.

To quote you "to punish the officer that made this person loose his life."

I also saw it on the news. I thought it was unprofessional of the officer and now that it is on the news I believe his chief willl have some type of punishment for him. But did the officer answering the phone in that matter killl the biker? I believe the damage was done when the biker did whatever he did involving the accident. As tragic as it is or was, inevitably you cannot blame the officer for the bikers accident. I understand people being upset at the police but don't blame them for killing the biker. And why would you want to ruin the officers life? If you want to blame someone start at the accident scene. That officer on the phone was in dispatch probably several miles away at the time. Sorry but I don't agree with you or even understand your thinking in this matter.

The first post I made was a direct copy - paste, from another forum. I am not Travis Turney - Team Twisted Youth. Those are his opinions.

- edit - delete

The second post are my opinions. Obviously, the biker killed himself and I dont disagree with that. But, people like this should not be answering emergency calls or serving the public.

If this were the Marine Corps, considering the circumstances..Mr Wise A-- would most likely have gotten court-martial for conduct unbecoming.

please don't call cops that name, it's just not right no matter how pissed you are. I don't like it and it doesn't belong on a fishing board. Your relative wouldn't like it either, Thanks slipknot

I appoligize, it wont happen again.

These guys were obviously riding in an area that is known by the cops to be a place where they race, and stunt ride, the officer was wrong by not being professional while on duty, I will guarantee this area is an issue(sore spot) with the police hence his reaction. You have to feel for the kids family in the event of such a tradegy, even worse it probably could have been prevented.
