Does this shooting seem legit?



Watch the video first.

Now check this out from Mediatite.
The jury cleared him of wrongdoing, and this week also saw the release of dash cam video showing Morrison breaking down moments after he fatally shot Ramirez. In the video, you can hear him breathing heavily as colleagues try to calm him down. At one point, Morrison starts crying and says, “I thought he was gonna pull a gun on me.”
How a jury can see something like this and rule it a justifiable shooting is beyond me.

One thing is certain.

Civilians have a HIGHER standard to meet when it comes to use of force than police.

The fact that if I shoot someone I had better make sure I'm 100% right where LEOs can be .5%, that doesn't bother me.  What does bother me is the fact that there is a police officer somewhere that will defend this to the grave.  No matter the evidence it seems they always can justify the most insane actions by a colleague.  That's what makes me want to punch walls.
