I think it's too early to judge. Did the PO who was shot identify himself as an officer? Did the PO who shot him ask him to stop?
There are many, many questions and any judgement at this point is premature. It's terribly sad.
I have to agee. Unfortunately he may have been doing the right thing, but he had a gun and he was in plain clothes. It is too early to judge. It is terribly sad. My heart goes out to his wife and family.
I think the sad thing is that this will somehow get blown out of proportion and become on white on black crime thing rather than what it actually is.
So a young man is gunned down by his colleagues, not even in the prime of his life, leaving behind a wife and two kids, and your biggest concern is "this will some how get blow out of proportion"

I think he means that a cop shot another cop by accident, and it had nothing to do with the race of either of the cops. But unfortunately because the two cops were from two different races, people might mistake it for something to do with race.
It is very sad though, shouldn't they have walkie-talkies even when off-duty? Shouldn't officers from the same precinct (are they?) recognize each other in some way?

No, this isn't my biggest concern.. I was just commenting. Unfortunately, you have to know that there's a possibility that you won't make it back on the job in this line of work, but we hope that it's not because of what was hopefully an accident from someone who is also in the force. My condolences obviously go out to his family, and such.

Sorry if this post offends anybody.
Yes, that's exactly what I meant. Even if they did have walkie-talkies, I'm not sure this would've helped.. these things usually go down very quickly, without enough time for proper communication.
