The text portion also begins with a different incident, where I still don't get why a lady cop was fired.
More reasons I wouldn't take that job on a bet, and tend to give the cops the benefit of a doubt. You have a split-second to make a decision. Decide wrong one way, you die, maybe others as well. Decide wrong the other way, and Monday-morning quarterbacks roast you like chicken. And not deciding is not an option.
I agree.
