A Seattle police officer was reprimanded for driving three times the speed limit without emergency lights and blazing through a solid red light at 50 mph, according to a recently released disciplinary report. Ofc. Ernest Cleaves initiated the pursuit without authorization after a stolen SUV backed into him and drove away.

The vehicle had a tracker and was being followed by a helicopter. The cop also wasn’t certified for high speed pursuit, even if this was a situation that warranted a chase (which it was not). How bad to cops get to fuck up before they get fired? 75 in a 25 with no lights or sirens? It’s a miracle he didn’t kill anyone (I’m assuming this is a separate incident than the one where the cop actually did kill someone with this kind of bullshit)
