I'm a big supporter of cops but you've got to hold them accountable when they get it egregiously wrong. One side of the story though. Cop-hating reporters also.

Police: is he armed?
Mother: Yes. He has two of them.
There was a story a while back about the cops shooting a guy and killing him to prevent him from committing suicide. I will say that a cop that is of average intelligence stands out among his peers.
