This has nothing to do with the fact that they are cops, firefighters, engineers, electricians, or ass fuckers. Let’s say, for instance, that this guy was white, shot a mechanic in the face (who was black), and then all the other mechanics, both white and black, beat him about the face with wrenches and ratchets. Would there be this big uproar then?
Listen. You shoot someone in the face, and then people that work with them or know them have the ability to be around you in a confined area, you are going to get your ass beat. It really is that simple. People are going to defend their friends, colleagues, or family.
This guy got what he deserved. Fuck anybody on here who thinks he didn’t.
