More Piss poor judgment?

But without knowing EXACTLY what was going on in the video, it's hard to say anything.

I'm not trying to call you out, but this just isn't the case.

Whatever the circumstances, whatever "threat" the cop claims to have "perceived", it doesn't matter.

The man was shot in the back. There was no furtive movement or vocal threat in the video,

the cop just gets out, draws down on the guy, and shoots him in the back.

Even if he feared for his life, the cop won't get ANY sympathy from me.

If you wanna be a cop, you have to be willing to hold yourself to a higher standard than that. You have to be willing to risk taking a bullet in the preservation of the people.

Shooting a man in the back because you were scared is NOT ok.

He took an oath, accepted the power that came with that oath, and then GROSSLY abused that power, and destroyed a man's life.

A shot placement a few inches to the left, and he could've TAKEN that man's life.

Unless the article made an error, and there was in fact a weapon, then there is no excuse.

I am not anti-cop at all, but I'm tired of cops putting themselves above the people they swear to protect.

Protect and serve, or get the hell off our payroll.

Well, maybe if the biker didn't have such dark tinted windows, the police officer would have felt more at ease. Officers never know who is behind the wheel or what they are doing.
