What doesn't get mentioned much in articles about this: that cop is a military veteran with PTSD... Like, the absolute last person who should be a cop.
Watching the video with this context I feel bad for him.
Like, obviously I feel worse for everyone else affected. That poor woman!
But this man is broken. To the point where an acorn hitting his car made his legs go numb. Made him think he had been shot. Made him unload his magazine at ghosts.
This doesn’t absolve him or excuse his actions. It’s irresponsible for a man that broken to put himself in a position where he could snap like that.
But woof. I don’t envy him or his life.
It absolutely does absolve him, if it's the truth. And he shouldn't be a cop - but how did he end up there? Was he out of options? Lacking confidence and a reasonable baseline of mental health to be able to push himself to try something different?
I uave to disagree on the absolved part. He choose that profession knowing he has issues that should disqualify him from using guns as a part of his profession.
