Since he's a cop that means no charges right? Just a child with life altering injuries?
18 0 ReplyCriminal charges, no. He (and the department/local government) are still going to get their asses sued in civil court though.
6 0 ReplyThe headline literally says he was charged. He was off duty. Also, even if he was on duty, Colorado does not have qualified immunity.

8 0 ReplyNo info about suing the cop? I would try to get a massive payout to make the life of my child at the very least stress free of financial hardship.
