I gotta admit I am disturbed by the intense rationalization that goes on among LEOs and those sympathetic to them on these boards. Sure, being a cop is a tough, dirty job, but guess what? No one is forcing you to do it. And if you CHOOSE to do it, you do so knowing there can be grave consequences if you screw the pooch. Innocent people can and do die. I don't think it's too much to ask that you be held to AT LEAST as high a bar as say a civilian CCW permit holder. I know that if a CCW permit holder shot an unarmed man that was not a threat, most juries would and should convict that CCW holder of at least negligent homicide. And supposedly cops are "better trained" and have a higher level of expertise than the civilian CCW holder.
