Its no longer about Good cop vs. Bad cop. Its about militaristic type training and tactics that all recruits are taught to use when dealing with the general public. Even a "good" cop is forced to the same standards in use by his chosen department. After constant exposure to that enviornment day after day, you change.

OMG. How horrible, he didnt even make a semi threatening move. If you are turning your shoulder to look over it, doesnt your arm automatically follow? That cop didnt even have a REASON to draw, and as fast as he shot the victim, he had to have had it out before he even stopped the car.

I agree, he should face attempted murder charges, NOT assault.

I like how they are arguing in court about how he turned his body and didn't move his left hand. Do they not understand that the clutch must be pulled in? Who's to say that the bike was not still in gear.

I am confused why the second biker lost control other than he doesn't know how to operate a two wheeled vehicle. Very sad

Only thing I can think of is they were going to try to run and that guy panicked and crashed or he just pulled a wholeshot and didnt see where he was going.

Good point on the clutch I didnt think of that.
