Why would that guy even want to still be a cop? If I fucked my job up so bad that I killed a 12 year old I could never go back to doing that.

That guy probably felt that his actions were appropriate. Why show remorse over successful work?


Successful work is shooting and killing a 12 year old in an instant? Not even thinking about how to assess the situation but rather go forward with a last resort of action which led to the death of a 12 year old?


You think he should assess the situation when you refuse to do the same? You are only looking at only the end result with full knowledge and hindsight while removing the context of the situation. Deadly force is a justified response in a situation where someone is drawing a gun or seemingly drawing a gun. That is long established and completely reasonable. Almost everyone knows this. I mean, if you had a airsoft gun on you and police pulled up on you would your first reaction be to go for the gun? Hell no. Why? Because you'd get shot. It's sad that the situation involved a child that didn't seem to understand that but the officer's response was pretty much what is expected.

This reminds me of a quote I heard from a cop once

"Lawyers have years to make decisions we had to make in seconds."
