It's disgraceful is what it is. They ought to, at the very least, can his ass.
Who on Earth would want to be a police officer if the BEST result for you if you end up shooting a suspect is that you get fired?
Some of you are ******* idiots.
He did his job wrong, it resulted in TERRIBLE consequences. When people do their jobs wrong, they should be discharged. It really is that simple.
This sets a terrible precedent. "Peace officers" can use deadly force on unarmed citizens when they so choose. I just don't like it.
Racists here don't mind. But if the guy had been a white man, standing in front of his home, barring entry to his house because police didn't have a warrent and he diddn't want cops harassing his wife and young children? Well, I think folks would be singing a different tune. . . .
It does happen to whites too. This happened the same time the Brown shooting occurred, this kid never touched the cop and did not have a or any weapons on him. Cops pulled up, as the kid was walking away, and was shot for doing exactly what the cop said to do, get your hands out. NO crime committed, nothing. Someone had called the cops earlier and said there was a group of kids with a gun possibly. Why is it we have heard nothing about Dillon??? He did not have a gun, or any weapon.

Do we only get outraged over blacks youth being shot? In the last ten year period, whites were killed by plice twice as many times as blacks.
