Murderers?
Look, I'm all for better pay, but even at the current levels it shouldn't be an excuse to just shrug off murder, manslaughter, and other police brutality issues
Ha no. But you get guys that are not going to be as great dealing with high stress situations. Why is it that everyone says cops are dumb but then you put them in a dangerous situation with their life on the line and we expect them to be perfect?
How about we lower out expectations for cops and not expect them to act perfect when there is a gun involved?

As long as we prosecute them fairly, that is fine with me. If you screw up and kill someone you should face the consequences regardless of your shite pay. That is my point.

Ok, I'm fine with that. Then they no longer get sidearms until a certain number of years. Their testimony is no longer of greater worth than the average citizen in a court of law.
What else would you take away with your "lowered expectations"?

If they are willing to lower the bar for how they expect citizens to behave, that's a reasonable request.

Nah
They are all-powerful and can ruin anyone's life in the blink of an eye if they decide to do so. I think they should be held to a higher standard, especially given most metro cops now require a bachelors degree. Plus, they have very specific training.
In this instance in particular, the cop doesn't deserve a pass. The Sterling shooting is much different. This one is just downright idiotic on the cop's behalf.
