I wonder how long before somebody chimes in to say the cop was not justified, over reacted or somehow finds a way to blame either this cop inparticular or poor training of cops in general.

I’m not a big fan of cops. In this case, the cop was spot-on justified and I am very happy he was not hurt. The perpetrator is currently at the correct temperature he deserves to be.

I’m sure there would be those that will argue those points. I just am impressed with his reaction and fairly decent shooting technique. I would like to know how many hits were scored. Overall, I’m sure he could be criticized for small tactical errors, but no way was he wrong in shooting the dirt bag.

I wondered how long it would be before someone would post that remark.

When police do something wrong, it should be pointed out and they should be punished. Being a cop should not be a get out of jail free card and cops should be held to a higher standard.

When we criticize police, it is for cause, not just because they put on a uniform.
