Gotta give him a break once in a while.

The car had the push button start. A lot of people don't realize that to kill the engine with one of those when the car is in gear you have to push and hold the button in for 3 seconds or so.

Panic does strange things to peopel. Putting the car in neutral would have solved the whole thing.

Maybe in flat eastern Nebraska or Iowa but not if he's going downhill. Google Earth shows Hwy 125 in Santee, CA is in the hills/ mountains. That's going to take some skill to slow down.

He was a POLICE OFFICER. There was no excuse.
