I remember this and watched the video. Fired? Effing fired? What about his effing partner? Fired?
Why aren’t both of these so-called LEOs in jail for murder?
If her son never got violent, why did the mother call the police over a picture?
Don’t call the police over a stupid argument.
Ever.
It probably had to do with something the victim said to the cop. All it takes is one wrong word, and people with bipolar disorder are very good at saying the wrong words at the wrong time.
Take a simpler case.... you or I getting a traffic ticket. Say the wrong word to the police, and you will be getting much more than a ticket.
Because they are power hungry and shooting dogs is getting boring.
“fired?” “lied?”
that’s murder, matey!
FINALLY. Finally they fire one of these sociopaths who have been infiltrating our police forces. No more free vacation for you, you piece of crap.
They now need to do the same for the lying piece of crap partner of the fired cop. Cops with such total lack of integrity needs to be excised from the force.
Because some officers are psychopaths that want an excuse to use their weapons for some twisted reason because they weren’t rooted out during the psych evaluation / hiring process. They know the ‘appropriate’ responses to conceal their nuttiness. I watched the video several times. The man was clearly not a real threat, the officer used deadly force when it wasn’t warranted, and then he lied about what happened. The officer needed to be fired and have assault with a deadly weapon, official oppression, and filing a false police report charges filed against him.
I would love to know the story behind this release. Did the neighbor try to give it to the police, or did he give it directly to the media or the internet because he expected it to be buried by the police. They would likely even have gotten a quick court order prohibiting its release if they knew about it.
Contempt of cop is sufficient explanation, seeing how cops usually get away with their kills with little consequence. The cop had no reason to think he was being filmed.
Utter cowardice is another explanation.
This isn’t the first time this officer has fired upon someone. Here is
another story from 2009 of him doing the same thing.

That’s a start but, put him jail.
Because he can, and because a large percentage of the population supports the right of cops to shoot anyone who is mentally ill or cognitively disabled. Just read through this thread, and you'll find FReepers blaming the victim, on no other grounds than that he was mentally ill. It doesn't matter that he posed no immediate threat. He was defective, shoot him.
That's why.
I do not understand why he would want to shoot this guy without any legitimate justifiable reason to do so....Back in the ‘70s, I was hesitant to shoot someone because it had been drilled, redrilled and screamed at into me,”You better damned well know you are going to die in the next two seconds!!” Against all odds,for 99% of all cops in the US, I had to shoot three people, wounding two and killing one. But I WAS within two seconds of dieing. The very IDEA I might be wrong and maybe did something that led to this situation had me shaking like a little girl. However, all witnesses backed up the fact that I was about to be shot and I was fast with my revolver. Glad that shiite is over with now.
Not a word from the “Cops Are Always Right” brigades on this one.
“I do not understand why he would want to shoot this guy without any legitimate justifiable reason to do so. “
Because the guy didn’t have a dog to shoot instead.
