The police chief did not keep the cop at a desk job from the June deadly force, ongoing, not resolved incident.
Mistake ?
YES ! And not only STUPID BUT INCOMPETENT AS WELL...
This BS. This trigger happy POS should not be an LEO- PERIOD!!! And neither should this "chief" IDIOT...
Lets put this into perspective using Layman terms. Everthing that happened inside the house is already done and over with. The Homeowner has saved His Grandson and the rest of the Family Members in the house.
Joe or Jane Public are out for a late night walk and are walking along the street/sidewalk and hear the final few seconds or maybe a minute or so of the commotion in the house AND He/She is armed (CCW/CHL whatever they call it in Colorado OR not) and now being in line with the front door of the house see it is open and there is a Man (or in the shadows since we don't know if the lights are on or not) or an outline of a Human in a white robe who is armed (again we don't know of the lighting conditions) and without saying/asking "DROP THE GUN!" OR "CAN I HELP" fire at the Person and KILL the Person.
Now jeeze I wonder what the resulting charges would be ?
PS: Does anyone know if the Killer cop had any type of Tactical Light on his pistol or was using a Flashlight or if there was Night Vision Equipment involved ? OR WAIT does he have SUPERCOP VISION AND JUST HAS TO POINT AND SHOOT!?!?
Looks like it.
