-the cop yelling "come here" should be fired, at least and possibly charged with more. there is crossfire going on and she's lying on the ground. arguably the safest place she could be, all things considered.
-if they can isolate who actually shot the girl, said cop(s) should be tried for manslaughter at a minimum.
- the clear lack of training these guys have is disturbing. im friends with an ex-boston cop, who also served overseas. he said the training for the military dwarfs what cops get, which sort of bewilders me. these guys should be prepared for situations like this instead of allowing adrenaline to take over and just spamming the trigger.
Where are you from? This is this US. If the cop loses his job, or faces any consequences, he'll get another job in another department in no time. MAGAs probably already have shrines to commemorate the fresher air.
