I'm saying that the other possibility is that he's a stupid coward that empties his clip at his own car because he's terrified and doesn't think about and/or care that there's a person in his car. Was he intending to kill Mr. Jackson? Maybe. That's definitely not an unlikely possibility. But I think stupid cowardice where the motive wasn't murder is also not unlikely because cops are stupid cowards. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] quirzle@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago I got ya.
