Most cops have "hero complexes," so what's his point?

I don’t care if he thought he was Napoleon....his actions were justified given the circumstances.

His version of the circumstances. He but a bullet in the other guy, so we'll never hear his side.

Is this cop also a psychologist?If not, his opinion is irrelevant to anything and anyone other than the journalist community.

Some cops just don’t like others doing what they should be doing...it makes them look bad.

Yeah, like I’d take anything Chris Serino has to say as credible. How’s that street cop gig working out for you Chris?

‘Cop: Zimmerman Was “Soft,” Had “Hero Complex”:
Big wup! Now they build up a friendly cop as a psychologist. A good defense attorney should be able to keep his opinions out.

Hero complex?

He rid the world of a violent black thug.

He’s certainly more of a hero than you, copper, maybe you should do your job better so we citizens don’t have to do it for you at the expense of our freedom.

What the???

You’ve never read No Limit’s tweets and read of his gangsta lifestyle that was a direct result of his death?

I don’t about you, but I’ve heard plenty of “his side.”

Every aspect of George Zimmermans life is now out in the open simply because certain people wanted to make it a white man kills black kid story; a modern day Emmett Till.

This is disgusting because any one of us armed citizens could have been or could be in George Zimmermans shoes, hounded forever simply for protecting ourselves.

And I wonder why the OP posted such a crappy excerpt.

I figure if there was more to the article, there would be a better excerpt.

Get this idiot cop on the witness stand under oath and ask him where he got his degree in Psychology and produce his license to practice that profession. When he can’t, impeach impeach him as a witness and have the jury instructed to ignore his testimony.

Unlike many FReepers, I respect copyright laws. They are laws after all.

How is this steady release of material before the trial not against some sort of law or regulation against tainting the jury pool? I’m no lawyer, but this seems very unethical on the part of the prosecutor.
