Was Mosher operating under the rules you were taught for Afghanistan?

Are you honestly suggesting that civilian police officers should be held to a LESSER standard [amount of culpability/accountability] than troops deployed in a war-zone?

No, Mosher obviously was NOT operating with the restraint and control we demand of our soldiers in Afghanistan. And it is pretty sad when a cop in Las Vegas has more leeway in killing people that soldiers in a war zone!

“You already told me this anecdote. Why do you keep straying from the evidence and testimony from the inquest?”

What the evidence shows is that Mosher did not operate with the intelligence and control of a good cop or a good soldier. I think that makes his continued employment as a cop problematic. The anecdote shows that good cops CAN and DO make split second decisions and are not spring loaded to kill.

I think if I shot someone whose 1911 was holstered, the DA would be on me like white on rice. But since it is a cop who shot a man who didn’t need shooting, the DA is happy with it and so are you.

Pathetic.
