If the courts are anything like the ones in NYC, the cop will walk scot-free.

That cop wasn't even chasing anyone at the time.

I agree. I doubt this Cop will still be on the force and will never be charged. He will probably just get a reprimand in this file.

So basically you're utterly ignorant, a liar, and a useless fucktard. Go die in a fire.

While I don't want to get into this thread I feel as though you might actually be a cop and your response here is kind of scary. I think a lot of cops and soldiers really jump down hard on things and thats probably what happened here. You guys should relax.

No, not a cop.

You spend every minute of your workday in life or death situations, and see how relaxed you are. Comes with the territory.

No you don't. I was a cop/soldier for about 4 years and can count on one hand how many life or death situations I was in. However, the uknown is always a bitch, which is why sometimes cops overreact. Hopefully he'll be punished.

Punish this pig with the toughest sentence available for the crime.

We need to make examples out of these pieces of shit.

I didn't read anything about a pig in the story.

Next, no, it wasn't clear that he didn't have a weapon because you NEVER know and you NEVER assume, because if you do you WILL be injured or kill.

Yep, you're truly a POS police apologist. Had they raped your sister and killed your brother, you would still be here explaining how it's the police god given right to shoot anything in sight. One police officer saved is worth hundreds of civilians killed, and everyone who thinks otherwise should go die in a fire. Thank god 95% of police are better than that. I wonder how in sweet Jesus's name were you allowed to work and spend "a good portion of my life in this environment". You are a complete psycho and the sooner you seek professional help, the better.

Hey, nice 35IQ you've got there shitbrain. Please indicate for me the point where I defended or agreed with the officer firing his weapon. Oh, that's right, you can't, because I didn't. Unfortunately your head was so far up your ass you weren't able to see that. The ONLY thing I defended was the following of universal procedure by handcuffing an unknown subject during a lethal force event. Don't like it, fucking move. I'll help you pack.
