This cop is a liability. Looks like the guy was unarmed and nonthreatening – hardly deserving of being killed.

Never hear of them doing shit like this. But when I was in miami the first week I met this asshole cop in sweetwater who stop me because I was sitting down with a laptop looking at craigslist and wanted to search me for guns or drugs. Later that week I picked up a paper and found he was fired/arrested for stealing drugs out the evidince rooms and sold them to an undercover agent. I'm glad to be back home where I can see a cop ride by and know I'm being protected by them not getting bothered by them. Hey miami cops if your reading this and you see someone at 3am sitting with a laptop we're hacking wifi not dealing drugs you dumbasses...My laptop is my gun! *Hint* why I was carrying a yagi cannon jackass!

He served for 17 years before being involved in shooting someone, but that person didn't die. A couple months later, he was involved in another shooting while under attack and that person died. The sheriff came out and told him it looked justified. However, he was put on a desk and essentially harassed until he quit. After he left, one of the things he learned was that a deputy involved in a shooting was MUCH more likely to be involved in using his gun again. However, he was never told this after the first one, never offered any counseling, and just put back on the street. This fact stuck with me over the years and I wonder if it's repeating with this officer in Miami Beach. A close friend I’ve known since high school was a deputy here in the Orlando area.

Very good work!!! Stunning about this story though, returning that guy to duty in the midst of such a questionable incident without even the appearance of an investigation. Just plain outrageous!
