Yeah, it's a hard video to watch. But glad you did. We need to see this and have a conversation about how police are protected from their crimes.

The gunman's dad was a police sergeant. He had prior complaints of excessive force. He is a POS murderer and the department protected him.

After the trail they hired him for less than 2 months only to discharge him for "PTSD" and now are paying his pension due to disability. The officer was 26 when this happened and will get that money for life. No jail, no consequences, just $2500 a month.

I was blown away that it wasn't a bigger story nationally. I only found out on Reddit. Even the news of this settlement is only being covered locally.
