Media summary: Officers Brian Garcia and Aaron Poradzisz were in an unmarked car and chased an unnamed motorcyclist for a minor traffic violation. The motorcyclist was killed after he crashed his bike. Garcia and Poradzisz were fired in July 2010 after a police board decision found they'd failed to notify their zone dispatcher that they were in pursuit, left the scene of a fatal accident without rendering aid and made false reports "in an attempt to cover up their misconduct." The officers claimed that they'd stopped the chase and never saw the crash.
