To let terrible cops get away, you're just saying that you get a free pass to hunt humans and the state will pay for your brutality.


I'm not cool with that.

But at the same time, you can't make an example of everyone. This cop will pay for his poor judgment, but come on. The statement on what happened is humiliating enough by itself. He tried to protect someone he thought was in mortal danger, shot three times, missed his target twice and then hit the guy he was trying to protect in the leg. It's almost hard not to laugh, tbqh. It could have been far, far worse, and we may eventually see charges pressed, but you can't drag out the pitchforks and torches for everything. There's no effort on the part of the police force to hide behind bullsnot, justify the shooting or cover it up. It was a mind-boggling action on the part of someone who lacks the judgment to be a cop and the skills to hit the broad side of a barn from ten paces. His career is over, there were thankfully only minor injuries, so let's save the outrage for the next time a man is shot repeatedly from a foot away while pinned or complying.
