You would think a motorcycle officer would know better than to not wear a helmet, after all, they only respond to traffic offenses, so imagine how many motorcycle crash sites he must have seen in his day. In any case, always sucks when a rider goes down permanently.

By the way, on the news this morning they said it was a city truck that pulled out in front of him, forcing him into the path of the van in the picture above. I don't even see a dent in the van, so maybe a helmet would have saved him? Really sucks that he is leaving behind SIX kids... geez, six kids on a cops salary and now no daddy to bring home a pay check. That family is going to need a lot of help.

RIP.
