This is what happens when departments take two years of worthless college classes over street smarts and common sense. A cop that kills someone in this situation must really want to know what it feels like to shoot someone or they are too scared to handle the job. A person who becomes a police officer has to be willing to accept that they will be putting their life in danger at times. This cop wasn’t even willing to accept any danger at all.
You bet. This college BS started some decades ago with cops. Common sense and street smarts be damned. And these cops who don't think they should take chances should never become cops. Taking chances is part of the GD job and if their not prepared to take some chances and instead are more prepared to shoot first, they should effing resign.
