You get lynch mobs when people lose confidence in the justice system. When criminals get arrested and released before the arrest report is finished. When cops get shot at, and the shooter is excused.
This particular shooter will not be a threat to anyone, any more.
And I see your point about rogue cops, but then I see the January 6th protesters languishing in jail for a year and a half over a simple trespass, so I've ALREADY lost faith in the system. In any event, my attitude over this particular guy is "Good riddance".
They’re job is NOT execution. If they don’t understand that they shouldn’t have that job. They’re entrusted with too much power to get decide they don’t trust the justice system. They are the iron fist of the justice system, if they don’t trust it they should quit.
You notice we never get this kind of crap from military police. Which is funny since you know they’re in the military first and are trained to kill. But MPs are also trained to NOT kill. And face incredibly stiff accountability with automatic reviews of almost any use of force and very high penalties for being found in the wrong. Time for lots of that in civilian police. Accountability. they have a high duty, they need to be up to it.
