this cop screwed up and is getting a very light sentence. this cop got way to jumpy . shot way too soon.

Personally, if you don't pull over and cooperate to the fullest and instead, lead police on a high-speed car chase, you endanger the public and are a menace in that respect and I have little sympathy for you if the cops happen to get ramped up and shoot too quick. I would have just put the cop on administrative duty for a few months then put him back on the streets. Oh, and don't go complaining about race. I would hold the same opinion of the person shot was as white as snow.

Weapons charges? How do you convict a Cop, who was issued a weapon, on weapons charges?

He refused to show his hands

Another rat off the street

When cops pulled me over I put both hands on steering wheels

High speed chase, crash, and keeps one hand hid when told to show his hands. We can't have a society with different rules for stupid Black people. Not too smart.

They are not supposed to murder folks.
