Mainieri was an excellent motorcycle rider and cycle enthusiast. I had the opportunity to meet Mainieri years ago and I remember him participating several years ago in a motorcycle Poker Run fundraiser for my nephew Andrew. Matt was always a gentleman and very pleasant when ever I would see him out.
Agent Mainieri is a 15-year veteran of the South Windsor Police Department and is currently assigned as a Criminal Investigator in the Investigations Unit. He has served as a Field Training Officer and as a Traffic Accident Reconstructionist. He currently serves on the regional traffic unit, Metro Traffic Services, the regional Emergency Services Team as a Tactical Operator and also serves as a motor officer, operating one of the department's motorcycles during special events. Agent Mainieri holds an associate's degree from Champlain College.
Rest in Peace Matt.

RIP Officer Mainieri. Prayers for his family and friends and colleagues.
What a complete and total shame. I’ll keep a good thought for his loved ones. My condolences.
RIP Sargent. You died trying to keep the peace. We need more of your kind.
I just heard that the suspect is out on bond. WTF??????
Yes, out on bond with the enormous sum of $35,000. Southern Justice
Very sad. I was fuming at the Hartford Courant headline which made it seem like the cop started a bar fight, rather than interceded to stop one.
That’s the typical cop hating narrative that the garbage rag hartford courant always portrays. They are a complete disgrace, a true enemy of the people. I stick to WTP.
Rest easy sir
