If as a cop you are so scared that you can’t respond to a non-emergency call without pulling a trigger blindly through an open window, you should tell someone so they can kick you off the force before you murder anyone.
The Tarrant County DA did not waste much time.
That was quick.
The clown effed up HARD!
serve and protect....serve and protect...

An excellent observation.
In past days before all of this “important that you get home safe” stuff and the swat team mentality, I remember a gray head state trooper arresting a drunk driver and putting him in the front seat. He then turned his back on the drunk in his patrol car to talk to me and to check the drunk’s car. A real man confident in his behavior.
I also had a personal experience during which a detective climbed up a front stoop to a window to do a welfare check on a woman who had locked herself in her house and would communicate with with no one, not even her daughter.
After it was over, he laughed at the fact that she came to the window with her arm in a sling. He said that it went through his mind that she might have a pistol hidden in the sling and he might get shot.
Two examples of the old style cop.
I suspect that there are some left, but they are not seen on TV.
A female deputy in a courtroom or in the field is more likely to shoot than a man because they are NOT equal in a fight. Between this case and the white female cop who murdered a black man eating ice cream in his own home (she thought it was hers since the key worked) ... this argues against affirmative action for female cops.
