Come on. This cop is just a thug with a badge.
I guess no screening process is perfect, but how did a guy like that get on the force?
There is no perspective that can justify the 6 caps after the original 3, which are also highly questionable.
This guy belongs in jail.
I know the cops in England will bash your skull in if you step out of line, which I don't have much of an issue with, if you have it coming.
Going back to the shooting in TO....
I was having a discussion with someone about the shooting. We were talking about "imminent danger" and something interesting came to mind. Greek cops have seen so much violence against them, they are use to it and probably have a much better idea what "lethal" and "imminent danger" looks like compared to GTA cops. That is why you don't have body counts in Greek riots despite bolder tossing and molotove cocktail bbq's.
So as much as we want to fry this cop for what appears to be a bad decision, okay, horrible decision, but you have to ask, how many times has he faced mortal danger? And what does he perceive as mortal danger? I can see him unloading several clips if someone threw a molotov at him...where as a Greek cop would put out the fire with his water bottle.....and nobody dies. On the other hand, you could count on a Greek cop (or three) braking the hand that held the knife.
I'm not making excuses for what happened, but in fairness, we have to keep things in perspective, environments....and experience.
Bring marshmallows......
