One can only hope they put the SOB who did this in prison for the rest of their life.

DUI so he might get a few years for death by auto. Then back on the roads to kill someone else. Damn shame that innocent people like Officer Lorenso have to lose their lives because of the irresponsible actions of others.

You know, anytime something like this happens you hope they throw the
book at the prepatrator, but no matter what they do to him or her it will
not bring the victim back, that's the sad part.
