ok first off.. how the fuck did this turn into a gun thread? take that shit to weaponry or politics.
secondly, I know there are plenty of good cops.. I'm not questioning that. I'm questioning the fact that this guy was found to not be following procedure- hence the reason for suspension- and he still didn't get a grand jury indictment. In cases like these, it shouldn't matter if you were on duty, trying to protect someone else or you were high on doughnut sugar, you fucking killed a child and should at least have the facts presented before a jury of peers to decide your fate.
Had I been so stupid as to go 30 mph over the speed limit and hit and killed a child, I'd be looking at 5-15yrs minimum. A badge shouldn't excuse stupidity and the loss of innocent life. It wasn't a war zone..
