And a sense of protection for the corrupt. You're one of us, will hide you if we can. Sadly this case seems a little uncertain. Judging from the pictures, I kind of have a hard time believing the cop's story. I'd like to believe it was an honest (horrid) mistake but no one besides him and Michael will ever know for sure. And Michael is dead, RIP  . Ramblin. Uh.
Right, the kid robbed a liquor store. For all of maybe 6$ worth of merchandise. Maybe he assaulted an officer. Maybe he was protecting himself. Maybe he started off protecting himself, and then he was assaulting the officer. But to be shot down in the street the way he was... for what he did... naw, dude. There are way, way, way worse people out there who went down way, way, way more dignified. |
But I've got new for you. Cops are people, and people are corruptible. Maybe the only way to crack down on corruption in the force is to put cameras on their uniforms that feed to the internet for all to see, to make officers completely accountable for their actions. And then again, it might only make things worse in unforeseeable ways. All we can do is keep trying, and learning from what happens.
