Whatever new live fire action movie stuff the police academies have the guys practicing on might be a little overkill ... kid might be a prime example. Take all the dog shootings ... that must be in a few of the scenarios ... and maybe not. Maybe non-dag guys watch the K9 teams and think all dogs act as ferociously as police dogs, but that's off topic. Either way, I bet a lawyer could use the officer's training that was pounded into him as his defense. Dunno. |

No question it's a bad shoot. What's interesting is that he had been involved in a previous shooting that was clean (was actually taking rounds from the bad guy prior to the shoot). While I expect he'll be convicted, I'll be interested to see how possible PTSD works into this, and what charge he ends up with. THIS is why PTSD in cops is a serious (but generally ignored) issue... it can result in a very bad thing happening to an innocent man. BTW, for all the basement-dwelling, mouth-breathing cop haters out there, no favoritism was shown in the case, nor was anything covered up. Rule of law in action. View Quote and all too rare, that's why cops are hated. Cops will continue to be hated until the "police up their shit." They had to admit that its they that are the problem, not everyone else. We still have not seen the blue wall come up, I sure it will with a fully paid for public defense as well and a reinstatement. You guys are not out of the woods yet. Here is hoping for a life sentence or at the very least and never ever holding any position of responsibility over the public again. |

Revenue collecting should not be a #1 reason to pull someone over. I believe in Mass a seat belt violation is not allowed as the reason to pull you over. After they do pull you over for some other BS they then can tac it on to further the total fine. Well atleast that vic will be getting a new truck.

Had a female in my academy class that got washed out during field training.
She wanted to play street counselor and somehow "justify" that a POS's upbringing was the cause of their criminal behavior/actions. Thus, the POS didn't need to go to jail. She was also afraid of her own shadow. After getting cut loose, she got picked up by a smaller, local PD. During a traffic stop, she shot at the driver since he was "reaching for a weapon". Needless to say, the dashcam video didn't justify her actions. |

Where "concept" and "reality" collide.
The concept of firing if someone is making an un-commanded reach for something is legit when the totality of circumstances add up. When you ASK the guy to get something and he does, the totality is put on hold for a second. The cop failed to make some logical choices and didn't watch the hands. He is a dunce. Sad, but the driver needs to say, "Ok, license is on the dash" and wait a second. He's not at fault. |
