good judgement skills and reflexes
the cop deserves his punishment

it seems the police are taught to do a set of things very specifically. they reach for their waist? shoot them.
he obviously knew his hand was empty but in the heat of the moment i think he acted on what instincts the police academy put forth.
that, i think, is one of the biggest issues with the united states police. that and that they're taught to yell and assume everybody is a threat. that kind of thinking just reinforces his decision to shoot the man.
not to say that his actions were justified. police are not supposed to be above the law but it's clear that often times they are. if i'd shot a man for the same reason I believe that i'd almost certainly be facing murder charges. he needs to do time for this.

he's also being yelled at and is being told he's moments away from being killed. the dude's hysterically confused, he can't handle more than one instruction at a time. if they had simply told him what's going on and what to do he would probably still be here today.
i've literally been in this situation before and it's hard as forget to concentrate on how not to be murdered. it really is.

this is pretty easy to say when you're not in that situation

any time when life and death is put in front of your hands, it's hard to remain collective and really understand the situation. i place no blame on the officer or the man.

It's also pretty easy to say he's a deranged murderer when he warned someone reportedly that had a weapon not to reach for anything they might have hidden and they do it again. Seems decently cut and dry to me.
