icer is in a stationary position tracking a violator who lets say is driving 85mph in a 70 mph zone, the simple physics and math require him to accelerate to over 100 mph to make the stop and ticket the violator. My heart goes out to those who are injured in crashes, but why do we not compare apples to apples, and also report on the number of civilians injured by speeding motorists, many of whom are chemically impaired. Also, Officer Seaton got a bad deal. He should have been disciplined for the crash that killed the other officer, and possibly fired, but I personally feel he did not deserve a prison sentence. He was just trying to do his job and clear calls as fast as possible. He got a bad deal.

Accountablilty will screen out bad cops and place better and honest cops out in the streets for a better society. I got stop by a cop on the freeway once. He was upset that he had to go 70mph to catch up to me. I told him, will I wasn't the one going 70mph, you were. If your park on the freeway waiting for speeders, don't get upset. I know it's pretty hard to take off from 0-60 when your parked and traffic is flowing by you at a higher speed; especially, when you're parked on loose gravel. But I bet those high perfomance engines are really cool when the throtter is punch to the floor.

SAPD chief said "That doesn’t necessarily mean they were doing something wrong,” said McManus. “They could very well be catching up to a traffic violator.” So let's put other peoples life in danger for a class c violation.

I really wished Chief McManus would have told the Troubleshooters to go fly a kite, to put it mildly! In some cases the Trouble Shooters are the best, but you can’t have your cake and eat it to. I’d rather have a cop speeding for no reason, practicing how to control his vehicle, than having two vehicles running out of control when its time to chase a suspect, and please don’t ask what’s taking them so long to respond to your call. Therefore whoever thought of looking into this either had nothing else to do, chose to take on an easy pick, or it was a very slow news day. Please San Antonio get real; hopefully next time this is brought up somebody will check with me first! I used to live in San Antonio and believe Chief McManus is the best Chief you have ever had! I’m sure next time he will give the answer the city needs to hear, patience only last so long! No doubt there are some cases where the speeding was done recklessly or at the wrong location, but to tell a cop speeding needs to stop is the same as stating more gun control will prevent criminal violence. Hum I wonder where is the logic to that? Maybe we should take away everyone’s vehicle when the next accident occurs, yeah that’s it!

These officers you criticize are the same officers you will call if and when you have an emergency...hope speeding to tend to your emergency is okay then... Brian: Would you care to report on the numerous officers who have been killed or injured while protecting citizens or is that not important to you? What about when you as reporters speed to get to the scene of a crime or accident without respect for a person's privacy? - peace officer's wife

Tracking devices were installed in 2009 BUT the tracking system was “lost” during the 2010 computer upgrades? Why, how much did this cost and why was it allowed to occur? This year SAPD will purchase a tracking system AGAIN? How much will this cost and will the City’s IT Department Director Hugh Miller loose it in the next computer upgrade so we can buy a third system ? Get some answers Brian !

Pigs!

Give these guys a break. They have to eat for free, pick up all their uniforms, run personal errands, and work a little, all in an 8 hour shift.

Let me get this straight. Thousands of criminals in this city and we are going after the "POLICE" who protect us. Beautiful, simply beautiful. Welcome to "He!!" in San Antonio.

For a long time there was a silver camaro -marked with the iridescent "Police" that traveled 281 at high rates zipping in and out of traffic. I watched him numerous times in my rearview mirror trying to make sure I was out of his way. My daughter was in from out of town and drove me to work so she could have the car. She saw him in the rear view mirror and commented "Someone should call the police on that idiot before he causes an accident!" Then, I told her, he was the police. Almost every morning on 281S between 8:30-9:30 there are at least 2 officers going about 80 which is only 15 mph above the speed limit.
