"The average salary for a Police Officer is $47,829 per year."
Not sure where this idea that they get paid nothing is coming from. The chief in my small college town (20k people) made $250k, ex gf made close to $100k.
Most make little, but that's their choice, so hardly an excuse. I agree, many, especially in LA, probably join for the power rush. That's fine, I sure don't want to do it, but that doesn't excuse excessive violence and this pat a bro on the back and look the other way mentality.
There's just no excuse for immature and selfish behavior (as exemplified by the NY disrespect and comments for the department).If you can't control a single man with 5-6 officers, you are incompetent and inept. You should not have a job anyway. Firing several times should put you in jail. The only excuse I could see if the guy was actually shooting, but having a gun (or not), is NOT a reason to kill someone.
Glad I don't live in LA anymore!
