(9,897 posts)He ought to be grabbed out of his home, forced to his knees at gunpoint, shouted at, and given contradictory orders, humiliated, terrified, forced to move and finally executed for it. FUCK HIM. FUCK HIS FELLOW OFFICERS (the ones that failed to step in and defuse the situation).
And seriously, fuck anyone who believes the cop who committed that murder deserves anything better. I have no use for such enablers. They can share his fate too as far as I am concerned.
Any 'good' cop trying to defend that ass ferret murderer is by definition no longer a 'good' cop. To do so is to forfeit moral authority and any right to respect. You stand with shit, you get flushed in the same bowl.
