    This is just wrong. He should have used a high powered rifle to maintain his anonymity and taken out not just the cop who killed his son but all of the cop’s superiors, prosecutors and judges who failed to hold the cop accountable. Glad he got the bastard though. #ACAB

      He didn’t take out the cop that killed his son, he drove into a random deputy on traffic duty.

      And this incident happened the morning after his son was killed - although I agree there’s never much hope for the system to police itself, this was too soon for any prosecutors or judges or anyone to have failed to hold the cop accountable

        You think the cop might have been held accountable?! In the USA?

        I’d like to think that I wouldn’t kill anyone, but I haven’t just watched someone kill my son when his back was turned.

        The article doesn’t say that the cop directing traffic wasn’t the cop who killed his son. It just hints at it.

        One cop is as good as another. Cops murder the poor indiscriminately, but they pay special attention to brown and black people. I think cops who use lethal force should automatically lose their job. If the force is found to be justified, they don’t go to prison and if it isn’t justified they should get a life sentence. One day is enough to fire someone.
