Is there snot in my beard?

[Pant Leg Eater from the Bad World]

Sgt. Douchepickle of the LAPD shot an innocent man in the street for pulling a lighter and a pack of cigarettes from his pocket (dramatic but you get the picture) and was only given a suspension due to officer Douchepickle 'feeling threatened'. With a zero-tolerance policy we would hear; That bastard Douchepickle got his ass canned after shooting a man for no smurfing reason.

No.
Sgt Douchepickle shot him because he felt threatened, as he had the right to. There is something called escalation of force. In this situation I would assume Sgt. Douchepickle had applied it and yelled at innocent man in the street to stop what he was doing and had yelled the warned that he was going to shoot before I actually did.
