No it's not for decoration, it's also not to be used because you're too scared to be on this job.

You have a guy laying in the snow on his stomach who has already been tased and isn't going anywhere and this stupid woman is screaming like a teenage girl who just had a strange man walk into the bathroom while she is taking a shower.

Clearly, she is in the wrong line of work, the lack of common sense involves this police dept in PA that hasn't fired her.

... or like someone who saw a big spider of cockroach in her house... hysterical. She is clearly not the type of person who should ever be given a badge and a gun. If there's one thing police departments need to do it's to screen such individuals out.

And did he have a gun? No. So it was murder, whether she was convicted or not.
Agreed, except start yelling things like they would say. I bet they couldn't do it.

I'm pointing out we either have a system we support.. Or we don't..
In this case she is innocent... So like it or not... No amount of discourse will change this verdict .
We also see police regularly suspended.. Fired..and filed on... Do they not deserve the same due process?... Even when that process seems grossly unfair?
No, They don't. The system is rigged in their favor because they are supposed to be a part of that system, and good Law Abiding Citizens are still fooled by thinking a Cop would do no wrong. Citizens don't have that advantage, even when it comes to life itself. A Cop can take it at will, using an excuse. A Citizen can't. I watched that video, and this woman is just plain Nuts. Maybe she will get her "Justice" on some back road late some night, from some nut case with a Glock and we can read about it in the papers.

Sometimes people get away from them. Doesn't happen often though.

Ew gosh, this was gross. That lady has no business being a cop. She was scared to death. I can't believe she'll be working again.
It's like a scared dog bitting some kids face off. Geez, it made me get a stomach ache.

I'm usually on the officers side but this is really difficult for me to find an excuse for, she just murdered that man out of fear.

Dude was white right? I don't even have to see the video. I'd have just a little bit more sympathy if when black men get shot under identical circumstances the very people that are so upset tonight weren't so damn gleeful about it. That's whats disgusting. 50 pages of hooray and backslapping when someone is summarily executed for nothing at all. Did none of you think this could happen?

You'd be surprised how many of them are like that out there.

Thank affirmative action for lowering the standards (physical, psychological, intelligence, background, etc.) that allows all sorts of people on the departments which have no business being LEO's.

Should be fairly easy to fact check this. How old is Affirmative Action? 50 years old? I'm on it...
