So what you are saying is being a cop is the right to be an idiot with a gun who discharges at people and faces no reaponsibility for it?

WOW

Even though I don't agree with him, that's not what he said at all. His opinion is that the punishment was sufficient. The officer's mental state or whatever caused him to be a potential danger on the streets and now they're no longer carrying a gun issued by the government.

I'd say you shouldn't just be handing out life ending tools to people that aren't up for not using them properly tbh.

His department held him accountable and his use of force was deemed unreasonable. In this call, they arrested a suspect for a weapons violation and placed him in the car. As he walked by he thought he heard a gunshot. Witnesses said they thought it was a gun shot too. So he used force, its just not the same as if some person in another job used a gun. Like a drive thru employee deciding to start shooting. Because his belief was he was discharging his firearm as a matter of an approved use of force. Its a different standard

He obviously is an idiot and needed to assess his threat and after each shot

and yet if I or anyone else walked out onto my front porch, got startled and started wildly firing a gun at my neighbors homes with no concern for what I was hitting we would be in jail. I wouldnt be allowed to choose to just quit my job instead, and for good fucking reason. I was trained to use guns to fucking kill people with in the military, I know the damage they can do and I know the damage that just blindly firing at nothing can do and its pathetic that you think because youre a cop you can just get away with blindly firing a weapon in a residential area. Shut the fuck up and stop commenting on matters you should no better about.

Endangering a man's life is just a loss of career?

And we find cops usually get jobs elsewhere after these incidents so that is even a lie.

You guys are purposely misinterpreting what I am saying to make some point. Telling me you were in the military means nothing to me. I did 8 years and deployed once in a combat job. If you think police training was a joke. Army training was an even bigger joke. All the training was outdated with junk weapons weve had for years before I even came through. Ill never forget the day on the range when some 18 year old handed a rifle decide to ND by shooting at the cadres tower

Think of it this way.

If I am shitty idiot who wants to shoot at people with basically no reprocution, I should become a cop because guys like you will fight for me to be treated like an innocent infant.

Now consider why so many cops are found to be idiots without gun knowledge who danger the lives of citizens.

Could it be because of what I just said? That treating cops like children who don't know better ATTRACTS the idiots who do this? People who want to discharge and just get a wrist slap?

Yes

Higher standards = less idiots

So why would you not want that. Surely you are not afraid you are like them??

I kinda thought that was clear from what I posted. But that may be due to me partaking in rum atm.
Even if not using a gun...any case where someone did something that might end in loss of life they should be prosecuted to the full extent of whatever law your region adheres to.
Sure, we're human and we make mistakes. But we should be held accountable for them equally.

Like someone else said, if I were to fire a gun because "I feared for my life" I'd be facing the court. What an US cop seems to be generally facing in that case is a relocation which just isn't right.

I saw this video on PoliceActivity earlier and a lot of the comments are veterans wondering if this guy is a vet with PTSD of some kind.
Anybody with PTSD that can get triggered by a falling acorn really shouldn't be in a career where he has a fucking gun. At best he should have been assigned desk work if this is the case.

Sometimes you don't know what your triggers are until after you've already been triggered by them.

And even so, sometimes it just takes the right combination of situational and environmental concerns to trigger your PTSD.

Like some vets are okay with fireworks, knowing that they're going to happen. Some are not. However, if one went off randomly and without any expectation of it being a possibility then it could trigger them into an episode, even if they're otherwise okay with fireworks.

Regardless, this dude was all kinds of fucked up and wrong

No they didn't. A slap on the wrist is not accountability.

If an acorn hit my car, and I started acting paranoid emptying my gun, I'd land my ass in jail or a hefty charge.

This man resigned from his job, saw no jail time or charge, and is likely able yo apply for a cop in another area.

Cops seriously are perpetually amped up to be afraid of anything with some of the most ardent defenders, Like i have watched the video multiple times and can barely hear what sets him off, then then he does a slide and barrel roll while loading a clip into his own car while yelling "SHOT'S FIRED" and "I'M HIT", idiot probably sprained something with his little maneuver and thought that he was shot

And he Resigned.. Thats is, Guy probably got a job with another Precinct and is already back to work as a cop

This is why people don't take police seriously anymore, they like to act like they have the most dangerous job in the world yet being a delivery driver is more dangerous then being a cop at this point

This seems to much like a parody it's hard to believe it's real. The random dives and rolls while yelling shots fired. The shooting at nothing. His insistence that he has been hit. Him asking the cop at the end if he has been hit.

The only thing that doesn't make it super funny was that there are clearly terrified civilians screaming for their lives and that he nearly killed people.

When you are a cop in a country where you can be shot from anywhere and anyone this is what happens.
