It's exactly why he ordered the kid to get up - so he could shoot him. That's one "police officer" deserving to get the living $h1t beat out of him. I hope the airman's buddies find the ba$tard and lay him up for a good long time.
Certainly seems that way. Makes you wonder how many other 'violent/crazed perps' this guy murdered?
I'm inclined to think the prosecutions should go higher up then the individual deputy.
The reason is, if you just ding the deputy, nothing changes. If you go after his superiors, then you get the message across that we won't tolerate this kind of stuff.
The perp in this case (the deputy) shouldn't be allowed to have a drivers license, much less be sanctioned to carry a gun in the name of the law.
