It is disgusting that good people are usually the ones to be killed when morons decide to get coked up or whatever, then go driving. The driver needs to be permanently banned from driving and spend some time for manslaughter.

Another police officer killed, this time by a drug addict, it's harder and harder to be a police officer, risking their lives every single day.

True this could have happened to anyone, but it's really a shame that it happened to a police officer. I wonder if it was random, or if this guy ,who was apparently on drugs at the time of the accident, did it with clear intent to take out a cop.
