NOPD officer fired for cowardice after failing to shoot at gunman
This is the most outrageous thing I've read in a while. What the fuck is wrong with our police state? Officers already have enough pressure to shoot first, ask questions later. Now we're telling them that if they don't, they'll be fired. These brave men and women are put into dangerous situations every day. So when they do fire their weapons, we - for the most part - look away and honor their decisions. But we expect that these are not simple decisions. We expect that officers have the interest of the community in mind. We expect that they too believe that people are innocent until tried before their peers.
Citizens need to take up an investigation of those overzealous officers who are a part of this investigation.
