or suspended without pay for a while as well as sued.

Yeah, or not suspended or sued.

On the news they were talking about a possible mechanical malfunction. Even if there is no problem, the cop was doing his job chasing someone that shouldn't have been running in the first place.
Most times, a cop will only get suspended, and almost never without pay, for gross negligence, or in the case where a cop had to blast some fuckin scum bag. This cop was just doing his job and an accident happened.
Thats why the city has insurance, and the building owner has insurance.

officers aren't going to be suspended if they "have to blast some scumbag." it is sometimes the case that officers shoot suspects who are unarmed, and sometimes there is malice on the part of the officer. in these cases, the cops should do time, but they seldom do in such cases, as corrupt officers are usually in corrupt departments, and their fellow officers try to cover up for them.

it's like those cartoons when wile e. coyote or somebody runs through a wall or something, leaving a hole the shape of himself. flippin hilarious

Its all good man. Don't listen to the dunderpates.

Judging from your nick name you're a cop/deputy. I like cops. I'm glad you people are around. Honestly there needs to be more of you.

If one of my neighbors was a cop instead of a fuckin drug dealer, I know I'd sleep better at night.

I've driven at least 4 different makes of retired squad cars as a cabbie back in the late 90's. Those Crown Victorias just do not handle well, and I've had more than one spin out in the Minneapolis winters trying to avoid an accident with poor drivers.

That didn't look like breaks as much as it looked like the steering locked, but my real guess is that the officer had only one hand on the wheel while using the radio, and his hand slipped off the wheel.
