You do what you are trained to do in high stress situations. Standard qualifications has the cops drawing, firing, scanning, reholstering... He did what he was conditioned to do. It's not good conditioning, but there it is...

Watching the video, I suspect the cops going to be found guilty. It's really hard to say without seeing all the evidence though.

On a side note; many of you have been pretty hard on the cops lately. You all seem to forget that these incidents are the exception not the majority by far. Making blanket judgements on any group based on the exceptions is dangerous ground. I've read quite a few of these type statements in the last two or three "hate cops" threads lately.

I also suspect the hate cops threads keep coming like they have lately, and the mods are going to start shutting them down... Hate is easy, critical thinking takes work.
