“To protect and serve”
He heard shots and then lied and said he didn’t
As a cop you go and investigate,
Not cower for 45 minutes.
Lock him up , take away his pension,

I guess I may be in the minority in saying I do not agree with charging this guy considering the unknown circumstances at the time. I do however believe since our President was quoted as saying he would have absolutely went in without a second thought that certain people are not cut from the same cloth. Since I could take a wise guess and say the President was probably lying when he made those claims as usual. So in closing… hindsight is 20/20.

Basically he froze! when it actually came time to confront and combat, he froze! apparently he was just there for a “easy” pay check and fatten his pension…he should have hung up the badge and gun years ago and allowed someone else who could have handled the job better…

I also feel sorry if has a wife and children. The wife will lose all his pension. Unless she makes good money, she will be struggling to stay afloat.

I think he was seized by fear, and unsure what to do – both of which are complete failures in his duty. There comes a time when you realize that you may be hurt or killed, but you act in spite of the fear. If you can’t do that, it’s time to hang up the badge and gun.

Wonder at what point in his career did he stop caring about to protect and to serve – Those were kids, the public was counting on you.
