I DO empathize with him, and I don't necessarily think that he is a bad cop. I think he was a terrified cop who's terror overcame his cop-sense. The result was a killing. The question is, was the killing justified or not. I do not know all the facts of this case and no one here does either. Let the process take its course. JMO
If the officer was in fear, terror, as you describe it ...after being shoved back into his vehicle, punched in the face and struggling to maintain control of his weapon...it's justifiable fear. He has every right to act on that fear and stop the threat.
That's his JOB!
