They fired the officer, but he will not be charged. He was fired because he refused to cooperate with the questioning following the shooting, as well as a lack of truthfulness in his answers to questions about prior incidents.

For some context, it’s pretty common to leave patrol cars running so you don’t kill the starter by starting the car 400 times a day. But it should be common sense to at least lock the door and have a spare key.

Most patrol cars have an AR15 style rifle very accessible to the driver’s position. They’re “locked” but it’s a simple unlock button that’s usually clearly marked. This unlock button works when the car is off, as patrol cars have 2 batteries. One will run the car and stock components, the other stays on to run radio, computer, lights, etc; when the car is off.

Not saying this was a good shoot. But those are some facts.

I say it was a good shoot only because that guy dying is just one more good thing for this world.
