If a cop is this scarred, he should not have a gun. Cops need to make good decisions. This cop was a frightened loser, who killed a guy because the cop did not know what he was doing. And was too afraid to handle the situation correctly.
Its because of cops like this that many people don’t trust any cops.
Unfortunately - there seems to be quite a few sub-par cops. I don’t know if it’s stress - lack of training- or maybe certain personality types are attracted to the job.
The good cops I know are good as gold and I admire them immensely.
I’ve come come across too many jerks though.
I don’t think he was scared. He has power/control issues and was waiting for an excuse to shoot the kid. Power/control attracts this kind of person to police work. Law enforcement is not aggressive enough to weed these characters out.
