That's it I guess. History has shown that using self defense as a cop is a career killer.

Before, yes. But she stated she knew she should shoot him, so that's after it started.

She expressed no such thing. This is exactly what she said:

Quote:
“She looked at me and said she thought she was going to die,” he told the audience at the awards ceremony. “And she knew that she should shoot this guy. But she chose not to because she didn’t want her family or the department to have to go through the scrutiny the next day on national news.”
Scrutiny on national news? Who cares about that? Given the number of shootings and the number of police found guilty of any wrong doing, I'd say it was a safe bet nobody would have faulted her. Particularly given her injuries.

Sorry, but this sounds like something that was thought up after the fact.

The problem is the police department is not backing her up. No wonder they are second guessing themselves.

Time to hang up her badge!

She is more of a liability to the public, than to protect the public.

But why would she do that? Why would she make it up?

This social justice crap has just about played out. The next generation, doesn't seem to be having any of it.

I guess the saying " damned it you do, and damned if you don't" is pretty fitting.
