<p dir="auto">Forget the politics of this for a moment, and think of this situation empathizing through<br />
his perspective and his perspective only.<br />
You go to work. You're thinking it's just another day on the job. You get a dispatcher telling you about a call to 911 about a guy using counterfeit bills. You respond to the call. That's your job.<br />
The guy resists at first. You pin him down. Stupidly. Should I be doing this? I don't know. Guy dies.<br />
You get your house vandalized. Your wife files for divorce. You cause the biggest Civil Rights movement in the world where you are the enemy.<br />
You'd give anything to rewind time, but you can't. You really ****ed up at at work. You really, really ****ed up. If you could just have those moments back, you would've taken your knee off his throat. But you can't. You just ruined your whole life, career and reputation until your death because of 10 minutes you can't get back.<br />
You go prison. Now you're the most hated man in the world. You are put on the same level as Ted Bundy, Charles Manson, Sam Berkowitz, Jeffrey Dahmer, Ed Gein, all because you really, really, ****ed up at world; you caused a death you didn't do on purpose with malicious intent to kill. As far as the world's concerned, you may as well as have masks in your house you made from human faces, like Ed Gein, or butcher teenagers with chainsaws and machetes. All because you made a horrible mistake at work.<br />
Never lose your desire.</p>

<p dir="auto">Yeah, he ****ed up at work. I'm pretty sure we don't have to worry about him choking another guy for 9 minutes again.<br />
I'm pretty sure he's going to be afraid to TOUCH people at this point. He probably going to develop PTSD from this where he's fearful of touching people.<br />
Everyone's so bloodthirsty with REVENGE REVENGE REVENGE but no one thinks about the pain that the people who committed the act are going through.<br />

<p dir="auto">A prison sentence is unnecessary; you hold a person in prison because you feel they're not safe around the general public, for rehabilitation, and for psychos who lack empathy.<br />
If this ex-cop was in my living room now, he wouldn't be trying to kill me. I'm confident of that. He's no serial killer.<br />
He's already rehabilitated. I'm pretty sure he already feels bad about what he did, realized he ****ed up, and the fact that he is responsible for a death is going to eat away at his insides for a long time. A prison sentence is moot.<br />
A reasonable punishment for him would be that he's never allowed to own a firearm or weapon again, and cannot work positions where he is an authority figure. Then, give him community service working with underprivileged black folks.<br />
Done and done.<br />

<p dir="auto">I definitely see a disgusting amount of hypocrisy in the people flinging hate at him.<br />
The fantasies some people have regarding what they'd do to the pig come from a much darker place than the ignorance that caused that cop to kill the black fella.<br />
Honest to god, the way people acting in the US is comparable to angry mobs in undeveloped parts of Africa. I guarantee you that without the intervention of the police, people would be getting hanged, beaten or straight up burned to death. Maybe hundreds and thousands of people would be acting 50x worse than that cop ever could or would.<br />
I reckon "necklacing" would become the execution of choice on the streets up there.</p>

<p dir="auto">I don't think in prison, they'd have to separate him from the rest of the inmates because they consider him a threat. I don't think he'll cannibalize people like Hannibal.<br />
It's not as if once he's released from prison, he's going to go around killing innocent people.<br />
Outside of this one unfortunate situation, he's basically a normal person. He isn't evil. He's not mentally ill.<br />
But he's being treated like a mass murderer in the media. It's not fair to him also. People who inadvertently kill people via drunk driving accidents don't even get vilified this much in the media.<br />
The guy who drinks and drives and kills people in an accident is just as guilty, if not more, than this guy.<br />
Just don't let this guy be a cop or any security position ever again, and ban him from owning firearms for life, and that's that. I think he's already served his punishment. He'll never be able to face the public again. He'll have to live the rest of his life on the down low. He lost his wife. This experience is going to haunt him the rest of his life. Let the guy go, move on, and be done with it.<br />
