Exactly, suspension with pay is NOT a justified punishment for an unjust murder.

Cops are quick to jump in and defend the department for firing this guy, but when is the last time you've seen a cop speak out against an unjust shooting?

Maybe if "suicide by cop" wasn't such a guaranteed outcome for brandishing a weapon near a police officer, people would be less inclined to attempt it.

This cop tried to treat the victim like an actual human being in distress and got fired for it. Guy that popped off 4 shots gets praised for being a "good cop".
