FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Four Florida police officers have been indicted in connection with a 2019 shootout on a busy street that left a UPS driver, the two robbers who hijacked him and a nearby driver dead, their union confirmed Tuesday.
We’re extremely disappointed that after almost five years, these officers are finding themselves indicted for something they had seconds to decide. It sends a chilling effect to officers in Broward County
Weird. The rest of us are extremely disappointed that it took five years for them to face any consequences.
When a cop feels threatened by a civilian they can just put them down like an injured animal.
When a civilian feels threatened by a cop they have to remain calm and keep a level head otherwise they’ll be shot.
Honestly I think I’d feel safer defusing a bomb than trying to reason with a cop.
Yeah, I’m positively surprised there’s the potential of perhaps some consequences for the ridiculous disregard for civilian life the cops had for this one.

I saw the footage at the time, it seemed pretty clear that they should have gone straight to jail.
They were using other cars with families inside as cover, ffs.
