First and foremost, prayers sent for the officer and his family. It is a terrible thing when people who set out to do good have their lives assaulted by people who have no regard. Being a cop is not unlike any other profession. If you work for a collection agency, your entire day is spent talking to the small percentage of the population who don't pay any bills so you start to think no one pays their bills. If you are a dentist and you spend your days filling cavities, you eventually get a skewed perception of how many people eat candy. LEO's are no different. They eventually forget that there are good people out there too OR they forget there are bad ones. The one major difference is that when an LEO's perception gets skewed one way or the other, they are either accused of brutality or they get killed because their guard is down. That's a thankless job with dire consequences. Be careful out there.
By the way, I was ok with this dude "falling out a third story window"
Not to get off track but if a guy was sitting in a room with you and your wife and he took your wife's gun and killed her, wouldn't you be justified to use "maximum force" in self defense? Why then are the police held to a higher standard? The guy above shot and killed an officer in the interrogation room with the officers gun.......ON TAPE! God forbid the cops killed him to stop the threat. They would be looking at an 8 digit law suit. Just because you are a LEO does not mean that your survival instincts don't kick in when your life is attacked. It's only natural. Give these guys a break! The dude was shot in the face! They SHOULD HAVE beat the shit out of the guy. You wouldn't hear me complain.
