Maybe cop coulduh called for backup first and waited it out with a drunk guy.
I know I never liked fighting drunk A-holes.

I was thinking perhaps the cop knew the guy was a fire fighter and was trying to ‘give him a break’ and not get anyone else involved.
Maybe because of the BS that has been going on recently but I find that headline (though true) to be more than a little inciting.
For what it is worth I think it was probably justified but amazing to see people that thought the ‘White Hispanic’ should be completely exonerated (I fit in there, thinking he was justified (in the long run) want to hang this particular cop.
I don’t know that I want to hang him, much less give him an out.
In hindsight, I can say he “could” have waited for more blue.
But, was he stopping something of some urgency or exigency? If so, he did what he could and may have felt out of place without his proper uniform.
Bottom line though, is the firefighter had already proven himself to be physically aggressive and sadly he continued his Boo Chit, Broke a guy’s face up and lost his life for it.
I do wonder about perhaps the mistake of confusion by the Paul Blartt uniform.
