Sounds like James Peters looked for opportunities to kill people in situations where other officers would have looked for ways to not have to do that. It's as if he looked at it from a point of view where he gleefully "gets" to kill someone, where other officers are very reluctant when they "have" to kill someone.

There were five other officers there. I would be willing to bet not a single one of them even considered shooting a guy holding a baby, or thought for a moment he posed an immediate threat to any of them. I would be willing to bet their raction was more like "oh crap, what did he do that for?" than "thank god, he (the suspect) could have killed us". Once the deed was done, though, they fall in lockstep back to their side of the "thin blue line".

What's it going to take to bring this to an end?
