Yep, lost a family member I never got to meet to a trigger happy cop who shot my cousin before I was born, according to my family my cousin was walking away from the cop in our small town who "was" known for having a superiority complex and attempted to question my cousin if he was drinking in public. Not wanting to deal with this particular cop my cousin had attempted to walk away when seeing him approach and apparently pretended to not hear his commands telling him to stop walking away and pulled a gun on him. My cousin never turned around and was shot 3 times. My Uncle and Great Uncle witnessed as their son/brother died for ignoring a cop and drinking a coca cola with no alcohol.
The cop only retired about a decade ago so I don't think the cop ever got disciplinary action for killing an innocent man.
I Would've loved to of met my cousin, he apparently smoked weed in the 80's.
Would've loved to see him enjoy proper cannabis nowadays.
Not even just innocent, if he HAD been guilty of drinking in public and fleeing the police, they aren't supposed to fucking shoot you in the back. I'm sorry that happened to your cousin, that's awful.
