Trigger happy cops. Yes, the [police] culture is rotten. The most important thing today is no longer "To serve and Protect," it has become "At least I go home at the end of my shift."
Yes, the cops received a call and they had to respond. No weapon was displayed -- there was NO justification to shoot. The officer should be arrested and tried. and the clown who made the swatting call should be fried. I read in one article that he was on the Internet, defending himself with, "I didn't kill anybody. I'm not a cop." No, you're not, pal -- you're scum. A dispute over a $1 or $2 bet cost someone not even involved in the dispute his life. That's sickening.
