That man could seriously have hurt himself if he wasn't shot, what was this cop thinking?

Fair, next. The officer violated procedure by not shooting first and asking questions later.

.... Didn't read the article..
But the link though.. He got fired for not shooting a suicidal man and letting him do the job himself or something? Like what the hell?
(but I'll assume he was supposed to shoot him in a non lethal body part or something, and not shoot to kill?)

That's what they're never supposed to do. Center mass, shoot only if you want to kill whatever you're shooting.

Basically, the life of an officer is so highly valued that anything that might endanger one is a crime. Even if that person putting them at risk is the officer in question.

Would never happen if we dropped all those laws that make harming or killing an officer basically 10 times worse than a civilian.

He was trying to de-escalate the situation verbally, then two other officers showed up and killed the guy immediately

i've said it time and time again, what their stated goals and objectives are...but its all chalked up to conspiracy. Well, here you go: this is the reality of the situation. This is what happens to people who don't play ball.

Good, you can't have executioners that won't pull the trigger.

This is why cops in America do what they do. Those that try to de-escalate situations get fired, because the union is too busy defending killers

I think I remember this incident. he was a good cop, but everyone else on his force are gung ho idiots. So he tries to save the man's life....and then his partner or whatever blows the man away. didn't expect them to then fire him. I mean why does it matter? they still got their blood lust satisfied anyway. why fire him? the guy still died, just like a few minutes later than planned
