American Law Enforcement and Guns

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

Either we got a senile old ex-cop with a gun presumably gotten licenced through work (most probable) or an old ex-cop that shouldn't have been a cop in the first place.

Or just - cops should know better. As in - cops should know what is and isn't murder

The ex-cop's been charged though. What's the fuss? It's not like anyone is making excuses for the old coot or anything like that. If the shooter was anyone other than a cop/ex-cop, this would not have made the headlines. Before everyone starts yelling "Pawleece Brutalitay!!!!" let's have the due process run its course.

What's the fuss?

Oh gee, maybe the dead guy and his wife with the hole in her hand - yeah - he shot the guy whilst his wife was holding him back, by the sounds of it.

The fact that he was charged immediately indicates this is pretty much just a thug-killing, whether the thug was a cop or no.
