Police killings

It is surprising to most people when they find out that only 27% of police officers ever fire their weapon and most of them fire on only one occasion. This week an officer killed a teenage girl and video indicates he did so to protect the life of another girl. This office will not be charged with any misdeeds but he will live the rest of his life knowing that he killed this young girl. As the news of this incident fades into the past the memory will stay with him. He was only 18 months on the job. Officers kill more than 1,000 people each year and most do not make headlines.
