So you feel sorry for Dungan...a man who was seen all over Roseville DRUNK in bars after the incident. Everyone knows that Michael Ramirez dashed out into the street. He had been warned by the bus driver several times not to run off in the middle of the street. He did not deserve to get run over by a drunk cop, but the cop is in prison. I do feel tremendous sorrow for thw little boy and his family. Redding was doing his work protecting other officers and was killed by a text messaging drunk who was wearing headphones. Just shortly he had been warned not to dive by the taxi driver. Oh and also please be sure to listen to the interrogation tapes in which Dungan says he was "way more drunk" other times and had gone the same route without incident. Oh and also he had been stopped 2X before on suspicious drunk driving. And oh, just after the news came out about the incident there was a local talk radio station taking calls from people. One woman said she knew Dungan and he often bragged about his drinking and driving. This case is so different than March;s. Oh and by the way if you are feeling sorry for Dungan, just remember what he told the cops..that he thought he hit a dog....just imagine someone you loved hit by him and then saying it was a dog. The windshield of his truck had a huge indentation of shattered glass. That was Matt's head. And he said it was a dog....he was within inches of the man he hit and then he left. Oh yeah. no tears for Dungan. He got what he deserved and I hope he gets the max!
I personally know Eric Dungan and I find it utterly unbelievable that California gave him a 15 to life sentence. Although I have the greatest sympathy for officer Redding - giving him a 2nd degree murder charge is way too harsh. I am shocked by this.

I read in a comment that there were interrogation tapes. Where can I find this information? I am deeply sorry for the loss of officer Matt Redding, and being a friend of Eric Dungan I am saddened. The guilt he will always carry with him. However I do not believe a sentence of 15 to life was appropriate. I do believe he should serve time and pay for his crime. What a sad situation all around.

There is no doubt that Eric deserved jail time... a life is now gone because of the bad decision made that night. I do however feel like 15 to life was an extreme sentence. Like someone mentioned above me, a police officer driving drunk should've received more of a sentence than Eric simply because he is even MORE aware of the law being in law enforcement! Please don't take this the wrong way, it truly is so sad about Mr.Redding and my sympathies go out to his family.. but the sentencing was truly unfair in my eyes. I personally knew Eric and worked with him for a time and also have been on the other side of the situation with have a friend killed by a drunk driver and I would be outraged if he didn't get jail time for what he did, but to be unfairly sentenced is just wrong.

It will be just what you need if you've been waiting for the right time to raise a tricky topic with you-know-who, and it will also come in handy if you're caught up in a potentially sensitive conversation with someone and you want to extricate yourself as smoothly as possible.
