    Found this 36:30 min video on YouTube. After the shooting the video camera worn by the shooter continues to record as he walks to the trunk of a police car to clean his (shaking) hands while muttering vile words to himself.

    I was wondering if anyone else caught that part. I watched the long one last night as well. I started to post the same thing.

    Also, that's the partner shaking at the back of the car while cleaning his hands up, not the shooter. He knows that an innocent lady just lost her life because of his partner.

    I'm chalking this one up as a case of the warrior cop. At most, this was a tazer situation. At most. I guess the good thing here, which is an extremely low bar, is that this was handled swiftly and charges were brought in a timely manner. Again, a pretty low bar.

    I'm pretty sure I read that the shooter is a veteran. I have my doubts that he's a combat veteran. I would think a combat vet would show more level-headedness than this dude.

    Yeah, I was able to watch the vid of both bodycams last night. The second (non-shooting) officer was obviously distraught and even tried to render aid. Felt bad for him.

    I did, too. He was having a rough, rough time at the back of his cruiser.

    Even the partner? He seemed shocked by what the murderer did. Did he falsely his report?

    Perhaps you saw the video closer I thought both had fired.

    He won't last long if they throw him in gen pop ( if convicted).

    Only one was charged, the guy who had his camera on did not fire, I believe. There was a moment there where it seemed like they were trying to get their story straight … but the camera doesn’t lie…

    The video is worse than imagined. good for the country they immediately charged him.

    how did his brain work, to be so quick to kill. Is he in a mode of complete fear and clouded by adrenaline or a mode of rage? the decision was put in place sooner, when he pulled his gun. Maybe in training don’t encourage taking out a gun so quickly.

    Somewhat OT: Have you seen training, not like official training, but the street cop training some of the guys are going to? They had one around Orlando recently.

    IMO, it captures the mindset that a lot of these dudes have.

    I'm not clear on what she did. Did she put the pot down and get on the floor, or get on the floor and put the pot down, or what? I saw it reported that she had her hands up. Did she? Isn't she down behind the counter out of view?

    Her Jesus comment pissed him off, so he executed her for it. Fry him.

    To me it looked like she was still holding the pot and got on the floor because the murderer pulled a gun on her and threatened to shoot her in the f’in face.

    Yep, don't talk about it like you don't talk about all the deaths caused by the illegals, it's a pattern. That cop made a grave error for sure, at the very least, but that one sad death will not change the world, nor the entire United States.
