Austin Cop gets fired for shooting at Driver who pulled over

I never condone excessive police force and the officer definitely was trigger happy, but that guy was some kind of dumb ass to just hop out and start to stroll over while reaching in his pocket. This is a great example of a person that just does not see the what is going on until the boot heel is stepping on his throat.

I wonder where the bullet went?

he will be back to work with back pay in 6 months.

these headline firings are all show.

Fired for attempted murder? Only fire?

Interesting how the guy who was shot at was calmly lead away at the end, and the cop who shot at him seems to be having some sort of break down....

Trigger happy PIG. there fixed it for ya

The pigs hauled away the wrong guy.

It doesn't show the cop shooting at him.

I bet he tried to draw as he was getting out of the car and it went off.

Where the bullet went? Check his seat, floorboard, dash, or driver's door. LOL!

And a settlement for wrongful termination, cop unions make sure bad cops are compensated for being bad cops.

come down to texASS!

Getting out of your truck and meeting the cop half ways is normal in Texas!!!!

Been doing it that way all my life and never had a cop act threatened in any way.

just a friendly warning shot

Good luck with that. I've had guns drawn on me several times.

Sitting, with my hands on the steering wheel and asking permission to get my insurance card.

I was also a passenger in a car 11:00 pm drunk and drinking a beer. The guy I'm with "gets out to meet the cop halfway" and almost got shot. The cop questions me, I tell him Ive been drinking and the other guy was not. He tells me, my friend was drunk or stupid to do that on a dark road and told me to drive.

That's right, be a good slave, behave how told, when told, or get shot.

Austin is a demo rap strong hold, this cop is probably a liberal as hole who thinks everyone is out to get him..

Yeah I will try to find the site but I was trolling on a liberal site and they were basically saying the guy in the truck deserved to be shot at. Not because he got out of the truck but because he looked Conservative... These people have lost their soul I swear

Had a cop put a gun up to my head for looking for my wallet when pulled over one night.

Taught me an important lesson.

fired? fucking fired??!?

that's it?

he should be tried as the citizen they are!

as in if they were not a cop!

I don't understand how the cops even have the right to tell you to stay in the car.

what law give's them this right?

Was an accidental discharge from a rookie, not gonna excuse that. was wrong. but, seriously folks.....always, always stay the hell in your car, period.

hey Britain, it's called compliance of a peace officer, dick, you wont get shot cause your country castrated you years ago.

I guess you wont be hiding anyone in your attack

you are the dick for not realising that every citizen in America is also a peace officer.

unless you are under arrest there is no law that states you have to do anything anyone says.

as is evident from the reply I got some of you are willing to place yourself in a police state.

that made no sense, but this cop SHOULD have been fired, he learned nothing in the academy.

This is real life, not Idealism 101 pal. This type of ignorance ain't going to get you too far in the soon to be "real world" very soon. The ignorant have worked overtime in the past several decades to marginalize the Patriots warning of the increasingly subversive sellouts and traitors manipulatively overturning American core beliefs and laws. Time to be smart and NOT be stupid. Being stupid is not going to help you if your dead! Do NOT be stupid around the authorities, be smart.

should put a fence around IT and annex it to LALA land as a new dim_prOgressive stronghold / new cali district.-

hell,most would EVEN voluntarily pay for the fence
and it would be a definite win win situation for ALL.

wrong, read up or shut up. wtf do you know of individual state laws anyway? wait...I know...nothing.
