Officer Mehmedin Karic was fired in 2012 after his police cruiser crashed into a pedestrian while going 20 miles over the speed limit. An arbitrator has now ruled Karic should get his job back, the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Traveling at 20 mph over the speed limit in his police car, officer Mehmedin Karic did not see Harold Fleming crossing 38th Avenue North near the intersection of 64th Street in his wheel chair in February 2012 when he crashed into Fleming.

Maybe I should upload videos of School busses, City-owned vehicles, and yes, even Police Cars that are operated on a daily basis in an unsafe manner. Nobody cares! Let's all hide our heads in the sand. Another failure on the part of this City to see that its Traffic Laws are not observed by any but a few. The Police can't be everywhere but geez... you'd think they'd be somewhere. I hope the … more ›
