that guys life is over even if he doesnt spend a day in prison. I dont hae a reliable statistic for you, but a disproportionate number of cops involved in shootings go on to kill themselves, and even more where they are found to be bad shoots.

I don't believe on the the whole "hang 'em high" but justice should be the same to everybody.
Lindsay Lohan is going to spend more time in jail just for getting wasted. ; )
These tragedies happen in part due to the cops behavior.
Did the dead guy something really bad to deserve being tased?
Police can not insult, humiliate or punish citizens on the street. And I see it all the time.
This thread started showing a case of a cop pulling out a gun to a guy on a bike and a while back we had the thread of the Harley-Bandana guy getting shot on the back.
The cop pulling the gun should at least loose his job. Is the only way to avoid nasty incidents like the one in the subway. But instead of that, the guy with the camera is the one facing charges.
I know cops have a dangerous job and risk their lives but many of them use that as excuse to release their prepotence and frustration to the rest of the citizen.
You can see in the face of the cop in the video at the beginning of this thread. He is furious. if were for him he will punch in the face the motorist. A person like that can not carry a gun.
