I dislike it too. Are there bad cops out there? Yes. There are some bad people in every profession. We tend to only hear about the bad cops or cops that did a stupid thing in the news though. I think overall, most police officers are good. Call me biased though, my dad was a police officer for 30 years, he’s been retired for 17. My brother is a police officer too.
Now, as for is this shooting related to Michael Hastings? It could be. I don’t know enough about it to say either way. But I do strongly believe Hastings did not have an accident, it’s very fishy.
Most cops do a good job and some of us appreciate their service.
