Cop driving 126 mph while texting crashes and kills 2 girls
He was given 2 years of suspension with pay @ $68,000 annual salary during the investigation
He now wants workman comp and looks like he will get it Workman's comp is not taxable

Thomas Q. Keefe, a Belleville lawyer who represented the Uhl girls' parents, Kimberly Schlau and Brian Uhl, in a civil lawsuit against the State Police, called Mitchell's claim "outrageous, but predictable."
"This man has no shame. He has no shame when he recanted his plea of guilty. He has no shame when he insisted on the stand that he was not responsible for this crash," Keefe said. "And he has no shame when he files for worker's compensation benefits."
Speaking of no shame:
"I wouldn't have filed the case if I thought it was frivolous or didn't have merit," said Kerri O'Sullivan, of the St. Louis firm of Brown and Crouppen, who represents Mitchell. "People get hurt at work all the time. It's our job as lawyers to help people with the difficult and complicated administrative process of worker's compensation."

I can only hope there is a civil suit against the driver and his estate as well as the Illinois State Police. We have DUI/DWI offenses, we must now have DWT/DWP offenses! Yes, I mean it.

He was a cop in Illinois driving to a accident that already had help on site. I'm guessing he did not want to feel redundant so he made his own vehicular accident to attend
