A second Dallas police officer has been felled by the all-seeing eyes of the in-car squad camera.

An in-car video recording showed police investigators that Officer Kent Bocook wasn’t being truthful when he told investigators that a man’s car struck his vehicle while his patrol car was stopped at a traffic light at Preston Road and the George Bush Turnpike.

The video showed that the officer deliberately positioned his squad car in front of the car of a DWI suspect, and the suspected drunken driver then drove into his squad car.

Police officials are also trying to determine whether other officers encouraged Bocook to misrepresent what happened in a police report.

Bocook, who didn’t return a call seeking comment, resigned effective Tuesday.

“There was nothing to be covered up or hidden from my statement,” Bocook told internal investigators in his statement.
