I am starting to catch up on all the stuff I'm behind on at work, so I will post up more of what happened... The jury deliberated for about 20 minutes, if that, so pretty much they knew that I was innocent...

What I do want to say is that I have forgiven the Officer, he's a 17 year veteran, he used to be in the Maryvale & South Mountain area, and I don't want to stereotype, but I'm sure he dealt with some "not so nice" people... So I'm sure that the good he has done for the community far outweighs any bad... I've f&&ked up at times, and I'm sure some of you have also, and if we want people to forgive us for our mistakes, I need to do the same thing... I do hope that he maybe talks to the Police psychologist or that after this he realizes not everyone out there is a "bad guy", there are still A LOT of good people out there... Yes he has to stay on his toes or unfortunately in this day & age end up shot by some scumbag, but he also needs to be able to not be so quick to judge people negatively...

It still hasn't hit me that it's over, my body & mind have been used to 7 months of stress... Stress on me, my family, my friends, so I'm sort of on auto pilot right now, sort of numb... I had a dream last night that I was still at the trial so subconciously & emotionally I need to detox right now...

Again, I want to thank everyone who attended, it really did keep me strong and keep me positive... I know there are a lot of people that support me and I don't think I'll ever be in this type of position again, justifiably or not, because I don't want anyone to have to go through this type of thing again...

That's a great result -- I would say congratulations, but "boy, I wish this had never happened in the first place" seems more appropriate. And though I'm considered to be very quick -- sometimes way too quick -- to forgive, I admire but find a hard time agreeing with your willingness to forgive the officer. I genuinely like police officers, and value their service immensely in a difficult, stressful job. But intentionally crashing a motorcycle is a pretty close cousin to use of deadly force; he could very easily have killed or maimed you with that action. Not to stereotype either, but I'd wager he's not chatting with the department psychologist right now wondering what induced him to do that to a guy just trying to get to work (and dealing with the issues that will make him do something similar in the future), but commiserating with his comrades about how another dirtbag perp got sprung by a hopeless judicial system. Bet he's hearing a lot of agreement, too.

I completely understand that, with everything else going on in your life, you want this completely, totally behind you. I'd feel exactly the same in your shoes. But for the sake of all of the rest of us who ride in Arizona, I'd ask you to at least print out the description of the event you posted initially and submit it to the appropriate community relations or other department down at the PD.

It's great that you have forgiven him, I admire that. I don't think I would be so forgiving in that situation. Because of where he's worked and for so long, he is not likely to change.

If it were me, I would still some sort of action against him and the department. If for no other reason to recoup the damage to your bike and gear, as well as your lawyer's fee...
