| Let me throw something in the mix...
This is more than a "Justified" shoot.
You unfortunately have...
Officers who will relive those events time & time again trying to assure themselves they did the right thing. Even waking them up at night...
Internal investigations, accusations, denials, and an extensive report...while the cops drive a desk for the next couple months.
In many cases, a civil suit will follow that the county (us tax payers) have to work through the court system with hearings, appeals, and possible a settlement out of court into the millions of $$$.
So,...although I appreciate a QUICK application of justice, sadly there is a lot of baggage that follows for months if not years ahead.
Will the officers err toward hesitation next time a situation comes up??? |
