Tough profession. One mistake can wipeout your entire career.
It can also wipe out an entire life.
Seven shots with no initial or return fire?
Sounds more like SEVEN mistakes to me.
Most careers are like that if the mistake is big enough.
I think that's the whole point here. Was this an honest mistake, or a negligent act on the LEO's part. On the face of it (seven shots within seconds of initiating contact, as reported), it doesn't look good from the outside.
“Tough profession. One mistake can wipeout your entire career.”
I think you would have to classify this as more than “one mistake.” When you kill someone, there is no “going back.” And I hope that the motorist whom Gelhaus reportedly drew on, makes very clear Gelhaus’ mindset.
