The cop was trigger happy and undertrained. Look a the video, he shot a guy who didn't move anything more htan his head. He deserves to go to prison for 25 years at least for what he did. God save that cop had he done that to someone I loved. If the guy threatened the cop, insulted the cop made fast and sketchy movements, I would understand, but this cop just blasted a guy because he was pumped full of adrenaline and not following proper police protocol. I know its hard to be a cop, but if you are not willing to risk your life and you just go and blast any person who you think is threatening, you are a greater threat than those potential criminals. If you look at many police shootings, you will see the suspects posed a significant threat to the police officer before they were shot. This man had no time to comply or even hear any order, he simply looked over his shoulder after riding on a loud motorcycle and was shot in the back. Why should the officer have been so close to him anyway? There are risks in life, you don't just shoot someone because you think they can potentially become a risk.
The guy also was let to suffer slow and painful as the pipe from the motorcycle burned a hole in his already paralyzed leg. THis is horrific!
Being a police officer doesn't give you a free ride to shoot someone. What would people think here if some scared convenience store clerk in Los Angeles just pulls out a shotgun on some suspicious looking person at the counter and kills him, because he is afraid he may be robbed? These shootings are known to happen and those people end up in jail for at least 20 or 30 years. This police officer was above the law and it cost a man his life.
