i am very surprised i wasn't pinged to this article. i am FR's resident "boot-licking thug" because i am a cop and i can usually be found in heated (yet very civil) discussions with fellow freepers regarding all-things police.

what a case this one is. the female was obviously the aggressor since she followed the cop, she was in an impaired state, and she initiated the physical contact.

that being said, a cop is taught to fire when someone is using or he believes will imminently use deadly physical force against them or someone else. simply stated, did he think he was gonna die? i will not 2nd guess. i was not there.

I was wondering how long it would take the aroma of saliva and boot polish to reach you and for you to show up. You must be slacking today as this thread is hours old.

Wouldn't you also say that the cop should be firing AT something and not through tinted windows that he claims he couldn't see through?
