A good way to judge actions of the police is to imagine yourself in a similar situation... suppose you're driving down the road late at nite and a car forces you off the road & then stops. You get out of your car, pull your legal, registered handgun, point it at the driver of the car and order him and his passenger to exit their vehicle. The passenger gets out but the driver makes a 'suspicious' move, so you shoot him to death. No gun is found.

Just about anyone in the scenerio above (non-cop) would be charged with manslaughter or murder and would probably be convicted of the same.

Bottom line; bad shooting, cop that shouldn't be a cop gets a couple weeks of paid vacation as a reward & heads back out onto the street to maybe shoot your wife, kid or pet dog for making a suspicious' move next time.

Of course, not meaning to imply that the policeman in this case was a bad cop or committed any crime, but whenever there's any incident in the news, the ideologues crawl out of the woodwork in their crusade to sully all policemen. But they should stop and consider: Because there are some crooked businessmen does that mean we have to condemn all of business? Because there are some shyster lawyers out there, should all of law be condemned? The good far outweighs the bad, but you are free to believe otherwise.

My wife won't drive down the wrong way on a road, with crack cocaine between her legs....but if she DID, she would raise her hands when told to do so by police, or anyone else with a gun pointed at her. Duh
