That's why these 'people' are supposed to be trained to make snap decisions.

All this reminds me of those two videos making the rounds of cops, pointing their gun at suspects, firing the gun and then immediately screaming, "IT WASN'T ME, IT WASN'T ME" at the camera. Hello... these jerks don't even train, they have more gun accidents and accidental discharges than the general public, they shoot more innocent bystanders than the general public, and they are somehow vested in the right to haul you to jail for whatever offense they dream up. Anytime I see a cop with his gun out, I hide.

AND they are arrogant... breaking the law themselves with impunity. They speed, drink, do drugs, and don't even know the laws they are suppose to enforce and then they wonder why the general public dislikes them. Cops also forget that the majority of people are law abiding to a fault, good hearted, and decent. They think they can treat everyone like an inner city gang banger.

2 seconds.... gee.. he had a shotgun, seems like he could have waited a bit longer than onethousandone, onethousan.... to kill the poor thing. If he gave a rats ass about anything that is.

Yeah, when you swagger around with a gun on your hip and act like an @$$hole, it's really no wonder why a large percentage of law-abiding folks like you and me loathe cops. I wouldn't cross the road to spit on one if he/she were on fire.

Here's a great idea for surveilling cops, so that they can't "invent" incidents for their police reports (a little unrelated to this story, but I thought about it while reading the he said/she said on the severed finger thread).

We should make all cops wear wires so that they can't make up bull$hite reports about who said what and who did what, and how "suspects" were acting. Right now, cops make up stories in order to make it look as if their actions were justified, and then write a report. Why not just wire them, and have it go via satellite to a tamperproof digital archiving system? We should be using technology to keep track of police, not citizens. Police are not trustworthy, and so they should be monitored.
