I hope the people posting on this thread defending this moron are not police officers. Whitlock was wrong for what he did. At no time was that woman ever a threat to his life. You can't shoot someone for your lack of tactics. Getting your foot run over hardly seems life threatening. Sounds to me like he shot her out of anger and frustration. A real police officer that was properly trained would know better than to shoot an unarmed person who was backing out of a parking spot. Everyone who thinks this is going to screw the rest of us is wrong. If you do your job the way your supposed to you have nothing to worry about. I'll bet you he never feared for his life, he never came close to be seriously injured or killed and that's the facts that PIU presented to the grand jury and that's why he got indicted. Makenzie was indicted because of a idiot mayor, racist chief and incompatent ********** dave stengal who recommended the grand jury indict him which is unethical and I'm pretty sure against the law for him to do so. In the end I hope justice is served if not I hope at least they strip him of his office .
