The officer was previously disciplined 4 times for other driving offenses, but killing someone - well - $35.50 oughta cover it.

I assume he is lying unless there is video evidence that he did any of those things immediately.

Are you implying the police might lie to save face? The audacity!

Seems like something the prosecution's lawyer would have an easy time proving by subpoenaing the officer's dash cam footage. If anything, when the victim's family takes the officer to court, they'll subpoena it then. If the camera supports the officer's testimony, you'll never see it, because it won't be used as evidence against him, and no one will bother posting a boring video that just supports a cop's claims
