- A Bellevue police officer still recovering from a fall from an overpass while on duty said he’s been kicked off the city health insurance plan.
Officer Kevin Bereta nearly died during an on-duty accident in August of last year.
“Deep down in my heart I wish I was still at work riding the motorcycle,” Bereta said.
On August 15 of last year, Bereta was assigned to Vice President Kamala Harris' motorcade as part of the security detail during a Seattle visit. Bereta lost control of his bike and fell some 60 feet off an overpass and sustained a life-changing injury.

Crazy we can keep officers on paid leave while they're investigated yet you can't continue coverage for a man hurt on the job. Hopefully the city does right by this officer, his union should stand up for him as well!
He fell 60 feet, thats 6 stories. How is he still alive? Thats a crazy fall
How did he go off is the real question...
US "health care" is ridiculous.
Why exactly?
@@hymanbjorn6768 totally I can’t believe that they stop after 6 months when he’s still medically unfit and was injured on the job shocking
I'm soooooo sorry you are going through this added extra stress. Hopefully it will be resolved sooner then later.
Come on, city of Bellevue…. Get it together.
Why should the city have to pay for his mistakes? 🤔
@@jonhurd9697basement keyboard anti cop warrior how does posting that make you feel ? Pathetic
@@jonhurd9697How do we know it was his mistake?
Motorcycles are dangerous, in general. He was placed in a position in a motorcade that could have compromised his safety. 🙄
It's an on the job injury.
@@circa1890 He signed up for it! How exactly does a motorcade compromise safety??
new lows for our law makers...never cease to amaze me how out of touch and have no respect toward people who serve
He rode himself off an overpass. Do you have any idea how difficult that is at slow speeds? He's to blame, not the city
Come on blue lives matter. Why dont you step up and help pay their medical bills?
You mean the Union not lawmakers!
@@Whooshta u first
@TheCommunicationCoach i didnt support that stupidity. Just proving that MAGA is just there to troll online but in reality as a movement its useless.
City of Bellevue needs to change its policy retroactively to include Officer Kevin Bereta and other City employees injured in the line of duty.

Bellevue has the funds to cover his health insurance 🙄
Wow shame on the city
Really? He's one of your own? He puts his life on the line every single day, policy or no policy, you can't put a time limit to heal, what if he got shot? Only 6 months to heal? Might have to do a gofundme!
thats very stressful to have heppen even in a decent economy, but in 2024 with how inflation is now, thats just tragic, like really wrose case senario. these polcies need to be amended to altered according to economic and time changes. Hes a Cop and this is how the city treats them?! "above and beyond huh?? smh
That’s a disgrace. They need to keep him on insurance
Does the wife not have insurance, for her husband and boys at her job? She appears to be a nurse. Maybe not ideal or fair but isn't that an option?
Medicare4All should be the option! Failing that, he should be covered because he was hurt while on duty. Bellevue will get so much bad publicity from this they'll probably fix it. Ironically, I bet if he had injured someone else and was on "paid administrative leave" during an investigation he'd be covered.
@@krisniznik3953 Medicare does pay for anything and no one takes it
This is disqusting. Bellevue doesn't deserve police.
Bellevue? Bellevue doesn’t have a money problem. Most of the bigger cities have a 2 year window for recovery from on and off the job injuries. They also provide a supplement plan that you pay $100 a month of disability insurance in case you are hurt like this. No one has said if this was a contract job or an on the job injury. His premium is probably around $2k a month for health insurance. Might be advantageous to head to TJ and come across the border and get free medical insurance for the next 5-7 years while you recover. Funny? Not at all. Very sad for sovereign citizens like this family.
It's should be up to the vp to pay
Who was paying him at the time of injury? That is the question no one is answering.
Thats not how this works buddy. Maybe you blue lives matter people should pay for his medical. I mean you guys were all about that. Funny how you all silent when it comes to putting money where your mouth is.
This story breaks my heart , and is upsetting to hear I pray that this officer and his family are well provided for and that the Biden administration steps up and steps in to compensate fur his services during the VP visit after all he was injured while in the line of duty ,it's a small in the face to now expect him to pay for the care that he needs as a result of. Events that took place during that service of protecting the VP Prayers of peace and stability to this family and restitution as well as abundance in every area of their lives😘God will never leave nor forsake you ,🙏
Sssssoooooo he’s seeing/ being how the rest of us are treated by labor and industry ? Difference is most of us don’t have the money to “ pay for insurance out of pocket “ let alone everyday things like rent/ mortgage payments, food , electricity, etc etc etc .. and if you wind up on pension you’re really screwed they base your pay out at time of injury not time of decision to pension so say you get hurt and 12 years down the road they pension you you are screwed and nobody cares ….
Workers comp claim and it will start 180 days after injury. It will cover medical and part of salary so this isn't a story its how it is! WTF
I got hurt in t he military and I receive full medical benefits because of that injury..... I'm not sure why they wouldn't get benefits, if the injury is still ongoing....
Brutal
But if he were sued by the public and they had to pay out he would still have all his pay and benefits.
Why dont i get news coverage when a situation simular to me happened?
Found the Russian bot.
You fell six stories? 😂
Come on blue lives matter guys. Help him out! Or is it all just to arguenon the internet?
Bruh it's Bellevue, they support BLM instead.
How did he lose control and go off an overpass? He became a cop to ride a bike, and he's only bummed because he can't play with his kids? Why can't he get desk duty? But, always back to the first question, HOW did he accomplish that?
Who was paying him at the time of the crash? Notice the overpass. I’m guessing he was trying to get ahead of the procession after stopping traffic and hit the right curbing and went over. It would be very easy to do. He wasn’t experienced in procession work.
@@thereissomecoolstuff Irrelevant, he wasn't paid to be completely incompetent and drive over the big barriers, it's nearly impossible and no other cop ever has done such a thing. He clearly was goofing or showing off and totally reckless and careless, and now he's paying for it, as this is never a "typical incident." Should never be allowed on a car or on a bike as a cop again.
@@TheCommunicationCoach have you seen the accident report, did you read the part about the car cutting him off and causing him to end up where he was? Did you bother to consider that this is a professional motorcycle rider with hours of training before he is “qualified”. You are another prime example of a bigoted cop hater. Go with your inner hate voice and try to literally demonize this man when you hate the badge so much you won’t even consider something far less sinister as a causative factor. Lots of cop hating bigots in this town. The hive is alive and well. At least try and get the facts if you are going to make a hateful comment. I suppose the 27 yr old Trooper that got blasted by the drunk driver was doing cartwheels in the middle of the freeway before he was murdered yesterday as well. Lookin forward to your blue hate analysis of that as well.
I got injured as a union carpenter. As i recovered i had to pay cobra. You're not special.
😂😂How do you fall off a bridge while riding a motorcycle? Man was doing to much, thought he was robocop and found out. Now he knows how all those people felt when he gave them tickets 😢. What's the problem? That's the policy aren't they all about policy? Mr mom 😂
He caused the accident because he can’t ride a Motorcycle and expects the city to pay.
Workmans compensation pays until cleared???? Why is that not the case????
