Bozo's of the inth degree.
Most people would be brought up on charges.

I'd expect nothing less from anything coming out of DC.
I did note that they had their flashy blue lights on so perhaps they where engaged in a life and death situation where somebody didn't pay their taxes and seqesterazation had reduced funding to critical levels.

Nautical Nitwits.....like the rest....and I'll bet they say there not responsible cause they were going to an emergency......same thing happened to a young kid who worked for me while at a traffic light on the way to work one morning......Effen weasels
When the Blue Thunder US customs boats were docked in Bimini, they could rarely make a trip without blowing at least one engine and/or damaging the boats.
I suggested hiring professional captains to operate these high speed ocean racing cats.
After all, it would only take someone a month or so to master the law enforcement side of the operation, especially when accompanied by experienced agents, but professionalism operating boats can not come from a classroom, only from experience and that cannot be gained in a month or so.
No takers though; the way the system worked (works?), according to the agents, was that the janitor in a federal building had a better chance of being hired than an experienced, professional captain.
Pretty much the same story at a marina I managed on the west coast of Fla, too, but different boats.
It seems LEO's and boats really do not mix well.

Tonight's news report had the following statement from the Metro Police Dept - It is not clear that they are at fault.
I am not sure what to say.

Yeah I watched it again, and the interviewer said that they were cracking down on speeding boats lately. Yepper, that oughta teach 'em a lesson..
It looked to me like the jack@$$ didn't even let off the throttle after he crashed into it as if he has a right to do that. I'd be going after a new replacement, not value.
