that cop should be fired for not shooting someone, but i know in this day and age you cant fire a cop for not shooting someone

but as far as i'm concerned, at a riot or "demonstration", a cop should be encouraged to shoot anyone he wants

I would encourage him to use as much deadly force as possible, but i would also be a "hands-off" police chief, if a cop made the decision that for whatever reason he wanted to handle a situation without opening fire on a crowd or a group of people that would be ok, but it would be discouraged
