I seriously doubt he actually pointed a gun at them. That picture was crap. It is FAR more likely they embellished the story after the fact to make the kill look better. Not the first time cops did that.
Recent story had cops clearly ‘cleaning’ the report in a friendly fire incident of another cop.
You trust cops all you want. One day you’re going to learn the hard way that your heroes are not as pure and wise as you think they are.
They are not my heros. To be honest, I’m not enamored with them nearly as much as you think. Their jobs aren’t easy. It’s the pits type of work. I try to think what goes through their mind in these situations, and I’m just not as quick to condemn as other are.
