Since the release of a dashcam video showing a Dallas police officer shooting an unarmed teenage carjacking suspect — for which the officer was fired and has been sued by the shooting victim — other officers on the force are scared they could be next.

Ron Pinkston, Dallas Police Association president, gave city leaders hundreds of letters penned by officers Tuesday, reported KXAS-TV in Dallas, adding that many indicate cops are worried about losing their jobs if they’re put in a similar position.

  1. Obviously, cops aren't scared enough...they frequently get away with cold-blooded murder.

    1. I've mentioned often that being able to sue individual cops would bring this crap to a screeching halt.

  2. To fucking bad for them. Maybe the rats nest needs to be cleaned out.

  3. If all they're worried about is their jobs, they're still not worried enough. If we lived in a more civilized society they'd worry about being sued into poverty or having to face one of their victim's family on the field of honor.

    It is progress, though.
