What the title should also add is man loses kidney, home, business, car, everything because of hot-headed cops unwilling to follow protocol shooting at non-threatening individuals.
I have spoken with many people who say that cops deserve the benefit of the doubt and when things like this happen to punish the cops is to weaken their abilities, but I take the opposite approach. Cops, because of their power and ability to make life and death decisions, need to be held to higher standards. Based on the story, it seems like the cops were taking pot shots at someone they weren’t even sure was armed, let alone dangerous.
So, instead of ensuring that this man’s life isn’t ruined by the horrible mistakes the police made, the state is going to try this poor fellow and allow him to risk a century of jail time.
That is our United States Justice System!
