The cop deserves to be sacked for being dumb, and getting involved with weapons when his life was not in danger in the first place, given the present political/racial climate.
What posessed him to think anyone is going to back him up?
Senior officers and local politicos are throwing front line cops under the bus.
If I was a cop today and there was no threat to life or limb to myself or the public at an incident, I would walk away, because if the poop hits the fan, you will get no help or backup from above!
