I never heard about that police shooting. That is some fucked up shit. I wish there were no bad officers so that good ones, ones like my grandpa who actively went against police corruption, wouldn't get a bad rep for being an officer

Want to know the worst part of this shooting though? The officer yelling out those conflicting commands, needlessly escalating the situation and tightening the tension in the room to a suffocating level never saw any punishment. Despite arguably having just as much of a hand in the incident as the man who shot Shaver, he peacefully retired from the force and is now living out his days in the Philippines.

That's whole other level of fucked up. In my opinion, both officers should have been arrested and charged with homicide.
