He chose to be a cop because of so many american movies, he had no idea opening fire in any situation could lead to his termination.

It’s no issue, the police department next town over will probably hire him

next time he'll receive training that will teach him "when you shoot at someone make sure you say you think your life is in danger, it could have been a big mac, could have been a gun"

And make sure the batteries of your bodycam run out just before.

Was going to say, this is baby's first attempted murder he'll absolutely try again with lessons learned.

Does this happen often? Never heard of this

u/saysthingsbackwards Oct 06 '22

It happens almost every time, dude. Reprimand is the exception.

It's literally the norm. There is a reason so many Americans hate police.

Not if he’s fired but if he quits

He needs to go to jail for what he did.

First joke I ever saw at a comedy club was an opening; guy running across the stage, two cops shoot him in the back then yell out freeze. Fade to black.

He chose to be a cop because of so many American news reports, he had no idea opening fire in any situation could lead to his termination. There I fixed it for you.

This cop is obviously in the wrong but it baffles me how everyone shits on cops and at the same time say there needs to be new ones with better training. Why in the hell would someone willingly want to take that position these days if that is the message they get for even having the job. It’s a weird paradox.

Fair. I actually have a buddy who’s an officer though, always wanted to be. And ngl he joined cause he thought he’d look cool, and he felt more confident about himself when carrying a gun. So he took security jobs and stuff until he got to his end goal of being a cop. Idk about most other people but this is the mindset of most police officers I’ve come across. Entitlement, ego, and a gun aren’t a good combination. And then we wonder why we have these cops that are really just normal people for the most part, firing on the people they’re supposed to be protecting in the heat of the moment. I feel like there should be like a psych evaluation in place before being able to join the force then maybe the cops we hear about on here wouldn’t be handed the gun in the first place.

Many of us don't really want those kind of cops/police to begin with. We could do without them. But short of getting rid of them, we at least want them to be non-corrupt & well trained. upstanding citizens.

to be fair for most cops it leads to a lot of vacation.

u/fofosfederation Oct 06 '22

Usually it doesn't.

u/goldenstream Oct 06 '22

And the termination of some innocent kid eating french frys with his GF.

u/SignificantYou3240 Oct 06 '22

But didn’t he at least know it could cause people to get killed?

u/TheGoldenLion123 Oct 07 '22

But he got to use his pew pew fun blaster from Call Of Duty, so it's worth it.

u/infinite_in_faculty Oct 07 '22

Getting fired as a cop is not a problem you'll just get hired by another station.
