......straight from the officer's mouth.
See my post below, #68 of initial thread (I'm simply stunned), last sentence.
What you have stated is true. But then again, there are things in life that occur that are so obvious and blatant, that you don't need a whole lot of time to sit back, reflect, and think about it.
When you've spent 30 yrs. of your life serving and protecting others, you get a pretty good feel for what is right and what is wrong. Policing is all about making the most out of what you have been dealt. Rarely, do you get the whole picture from the start. You deal with what you have and go from there.
From what I saw on the video, the officer reacted in such a way, that it shook me to my very core. That doesn't happen very often to me. In the back of my mind, there's a corner, and in that corner is some plausible explanation as to why the officer acted as he did. Whether or not, that will ever be known is anyone's guess.
I'm sticking to an adrenaline rush that the officer couldn't deal with. Or, put another way, he got caught up in the moment.
