that actually sounds well-deserved, assuming we're getting the whole story from this article
how? the guy had a police siren suddenly blasting about 8' from behind him while going around 15 mph in an open convertible... that sort of shock from noise is going to cause a reaction....
Parente was, by his own written admission, only two to three feet behind Hitchcock when he activated his siren, far closer than law enforcement training guidelines.
After that, Redondo Beach Detective Mike Strosnider invited Hitchcock to a let's-be-friends lunch at Subway on the pretext that the investigation was over. It wasn't. Strosnider secretly recorded the lunch in hopes of capturing incriminating comments, but came up empty, according to his own report.

on a related note, this is from last night's news:

realistically, this could be considered 50/50. since the resulting investigation was complete fiction, the officers should be hung upside down by their balls.
