It appears that he was shot from across the street as he raised an arm. It sounded to me like an order was given to fire (or a voiced, mistaken observation, like "gun!"), rather than a purely organic reaction by the shooter to a specific provocation. In any event, it's unthinkable to me that an uncorroberated "threat" like this, at that distance and with no observable, immediate threat to others in the home, justified firing at that point.
- tehwebguy 9y agoThe psychopath swatter and the trigger happy cop both need to spend time in prison. Perhaps they can share a cell?
- Miner49er 9y agoProbably won't happen. Cops rarely ever see jail.
- matte_black 9y agoNo need for the cop to be in jail.
- tehwebguy 9y agoIt's important, for society, to ensure the cop never kills again. Unfortunately firing him is not enough -- he will almost immediately be able to get another job carrying a badge and a gun unless he has a criminal record.
