I beleive the cop over reacted in this instance. I feel for the biker and his family and friends. I do beleive punishment should be in order for the cop. However some people are acting like the cop got off on shooting a biker and is now bragging about and feeling all cool and shit. I am sure now that he has had time to reflect on his actions he is regretting ruining someones life with a poor split-second decision. I have made mistakes at work that fortunately hasn't cost human life. Sadly for this officer, his mistake has changed someones life forever. I am sure he will have a hard time dealing with this on a mental/social level regardless of outcome. Shit happens and it sucks, but I doubt he woke up saying, "I am gonna go shoot some bikers tonight!" If we learn anything it is to always keep your hands plainly visible until instructed to do otherwise. Accidents can and will happen and I dont want it to be me.
