“The suspect is facing a homicide complaint” !?? Better put, that callous, culpable cop should be charged with nothing less than manslaughter, period !! No person should be shot over a trivial, petty parking dispute ! Other police drinking in front of private residences, on or off duty, and carrying firearms, also need to be charged, or are our 3rd World police above the law ? I’m sure the Pres. has a good answer for that !! Needless to say, ‘ every dog has his day’ !
