You kiddin' me, Dave? If the cop had murdered the suspect, he would have been congratulated on a job well done!
Don't tell ME there's no double standard!

St. Paul police are rethinking their policies allowing undercover officers to drink on the job after a decorated officer was shot to death outside of a bar...When he was killed, Vick's blood-alcohol level was 0.20 percent -- twice the legal limit for driving at that time. Since the defense raised questions about Vick's partner carrying a firearm while consuming alcohol, Harrington said the department is examining that policy...Vick and his partner, Sgt. Joe Strong, were investigating prostitution when they confronted two men outside a bar on St. Paul's East Side. The argument escalated to a shooting in a nearby alley that killed Vick.
On Friday, Harry Evans was convicted of first-degree murder in Vick's death and sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole. Another drunken cop shooting story? Any bets on the outcome if Vick had shot first and Evans was the one killed?
