Here here...Cops are not trained to shoot to kill...They are trained to incapacitate..They are trained to shoot as many times in such a situation as it takes to stop the offender..Period..Everyone loves fireman because they don't write tickets...I make no excuses and bear no sympathy for officers who abuse their power and brutalize citizens with no legal justification...I love my job and do it the best way I can..and that includes helping people who need help..There are, as the familiar quip goes, bad apples in every bunch, whether they are police officers, truck drivers, or any other career/group you can think of..When you have to make a split-second decision that will change lives under such intense pressure, you have to rely on instinct and training and pray that you made the right decision..Most officers go into this career field because they truly want to make a difference in their community..I know of no cops that are into the job just to make a buck because even though I get paid quite well, I will never get rich doing this...Well, theres my two cents.
