So opinions are only valid from other cops then, eh ? Heh, do love the "you wouldn't know what it's like" mantra cops truck out at times like this - or worse times when they kill people armed with staplers, or contained on a streetcar. If they screw up, well they screw up and should get screwed to a wall.
Hey man, cops get afraid. Afraid very easily it seems (remember the Dorner situation when they almost blew away two old ladies after thinking it was Space Marine Dorner coming for them?)
