There are several different types of cops, those who have honor and truely serve and protect and those who just want to harrass someone and then even worse those who just want to shoot someone for any reason.
I respect those who serve and protect us at all costs as this deserves appreciation and admiration. The guy who jumped on his hood and pumped an unarmed man full of lead was a pig! He could have disabled him or his car many other ways. That was a human life regardless.
We are all comforted by knowing it turned out to be a class A loser that deserved what he got, but at the same time it could have been a great father of 5 who just snapped by losing his job and went off track from drinking himself stupid and is now dead from just trying to run from them and get home to see his kids.
When you pull that trigger and send a soul packing, a cop should make sure he was a deadly threat.
I may be wrong but its just my opinion.
It takes a person 6 months of police school to arrest you for nothing and seriously complicate your life, and it takes an attorney 6 years of school to possibly get you off the hook, and even worse a judge that requires no education to call balls and strikes.

The douschebag was trying to run over those guys repeatedly. If you were the police man (hereinafter "Pig"), would you let him run you over to save yourself from the stigma of being called a "pig" by someone on a couch in another city? Did you even see what led up to the guy shooting (other than the perp trying to kill several people with his car)? I didn't see a "guy who jumped on his hood and ..." did you? Did he jump? Hop? Skip? Was he hit by a maniac who had recklessly endangered numerous people already and just wanted to see his wife, kids, and mom again? I didn't see that part in the video. Did you? He's driving over 100mph in a small city, ramming cops, trying to run them over. How would you like it if the "pig" had not fired his weapon and had been thrown off the car and paralyzed and another family of six driving home had all been killed in a head-on by the perp? Would that be better? Not by me -- kill the a$$hole who wll eventually end up killing others.
