Personal financial and criminal culpability for the Officer that shot Gary. Same goes for the supervisor and trainers. Until LEO are held personally financially culpable this will happen again. Oh. We should stop venerating this institution and the officers who work the job. They are not soldiers. They are not heroes. The are the strong men for politicians and the Deep State. Unionized thugs. Don’t tell me this instance is unprecedented but sad. This incident is common as dirt and makes nobody sad but the insurance companies who will pay out.
Something is telling me that this officer is one of those roided-up cops. We all know the ones.
So this incident isn't exactly "as common as dirt." The number of people killed by police, including those who deserved it, is statistically miniscule out of a population of 320 million.
I agree that police officers who do make questionable or worse decisions should be held more liable than they frequently seem to be, but to say that all cops are "thugs" or trigger-happy is a misrepresentation.
