I refuse to watch this video. As I've gotten older, watching people die is just something I won't willingly do...call me a pussy.
With that said, being a cop, especially in a major metropolitan area, has to be one of the most nerve-wracking jobs ever created. On an almost daily FREAKIN' BASIS, you literally aren't sure if you're going to come home to your wife and kids at night. Imagine living like that.
I know, I know...tell them to get another job. But let's live in reality instead of fantasy land for at least a moment.
Not defending what happened here, but let me just say it's surprising that something like this doesn't happen more often.
I like to think most cops (and by most, I mean 98+%) are doing the best they can given the circumstances.
