Ordinarily, I would be the first to champion the police. Dumbass little gangbanger(?) steals a car, refuses to follow police intructions, backs into a police cruiser, and fully expects to be hailed as a hero back in the 'hood. Then, the community gets in an uproar when the little criminal comes to a "bad end". Sorry. I don't care how many girls that he made laugh in school. I don't care how many honors programs he was in. Reap what you sow anyone?
However...10 rounds? As a former cop, I've got a huge problem with that. The degree of force used to subdue the suspect was way in excess of the level of threat exhibited. Had the little gangbanger pulled a weapon and fired on the officer...then I'd have absolutely no problem at all with 10 rounds being inserted into his useless body. But this? This smells like yesterdays dirty diapers. I do believe that we have identified a cop that needs to be removed from the public, if not society.
