That was an exaction. The guy he shot was bad, but the cop pulling the trigger isn’t much better.
Do you, Gerald, expect a cop to lose his life over some scumbag like that. He admitted he had a knife, and then went to reach for something on the drivers side of the car. And surprise, surprise they found his knife. I for one am very glad this police officer is still alive. His life will be hell because he was doing his job. Very sad.
The only problem I see with this incident is that, why did the officer have to pull the trigger 7 times from about 18 inches away? Even without my glasses I could have put some major hurt on the guy with one round.
