Man, dark, rainy, looks shady af, gunshot sounds heard, I would have shot just like that cop did.
That's yet another reason I'm not a fucking cop.
Edit: Damn, a lot of boot lickers wish that I was a cop. Sickos.
- We're glad you're not a cop either.
  Is it so much to ask to positively identify a ~~sore~~ shooter before firing? Any bystander who happens to be visible becomes a target with these clowns
  
  This is what happens if you put a maximum IQ as part of the requirements to be a police officer instead of minimum IQ.
