I don't think we have anywhere near enough information to know if this guy should go to prison. But the problem isn't the lack of prison time - it's the lack of said information.
The fact that the public knows effectively nothing about what went on here is ridiculous.

I'm just saying it's a really ugly look for the PD. Witnesses reported that the van didn't apply the brakes until 2 car lengths before the collision. No information released. Mostly because the investigation is still ongoing. But to put this guy back to work in light of all that does them no favors. I'm not seeing how negligence couldn't be applied. Whether gross or not, who knows. But it sure smells like a turd at this point and makes the PD look bad regardless.
