They get ragged on all the time for bad or questionable shoots, but they rarely get commended when the did what was necessary.

Kentucky police fatally shoot man who fired at them

Associated Press - on MSN.com|33 minutes ago
Police providing security in the aftermath of deadly tornadoes in Kentucky have fatally shot a man who fired at them, state police said. The shooting occurred early Wednesday as officers from the Frankfort Police Department were in Mayfield helping local agencies patrol the Mayfield-Graves County Fairgrounds after last month's tornadoes,



Considering some of the other looting type stories from the area, I'll guess possibly a meth head looking for stuff to swipe.

Video shows cop shoot without warning at man firing into air

ABC|45 minutes ago
Police in Ohio have released body camera footage showing an officer firing multiple rounds through a wooden privacy fence without warning at someone shooting gunfire into the air on the other side


What's to warn? Guy outside firing a weapon. You put him down. End of story.

Not a shoot—but holy shit these LAPD cops should be commended and given medals. Balls of blue steel on these chaps!

A reminder that good police work doesn’t always require a gun.

There are LOTS of good shoots, and the cops that had to take them should be commended/comforted. They almost universally ARE.

There are LOTS of bad shoots and those cops should be fired and prosecuted. The almost universally are NOT.

* The belief that some cops do really evil things and should be prosecuted is not mutually exclusive to the thought that some cops HAVE to shoot and it is a good thing when they do it. The fact that some cops have done both doesn't excuse them from consequences of the evil thing.

False.
They get ceremonies and medals and dinners when they shoot someone in the line of duty.

I don't have a problem when cops kill people who NEED killing...it's when they kill someone who could have/SHOULD have been dealt with in a non-lethal way that bothers me.

If you fight the cops...if you shoot at the cops...if you run from the cops...you're asking to be shot...and I won't USUALLY fault the cops for doing it.

Damn, you've gone off the rails.

They also win the right to get their murder tattoo representing their murder gang. As long as they aren't female or black, in which case they aren't allowed. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compton_Executioners

@Lost_in_the_HTTP, don't act like they don't get nice things for killing people. Unless they are black or female. In which case I suspect you don't want them to get nice things anyway, so the system appears to work from your perspective.
