I would imagine your job doesn’t send you into situations on a regular basis where you might have to kill someone.

No one would want to be a cop if they could be without a paycheck for months for doing the right thing in a dangerous situation.

You seem to be focusing on the bad instances but there are plenty where a cop shoots someone who is pointing a gun at them or someone else and it’s totally justified. Should they be without pay for months until the investigations, grand jury decision and employment investigation is concluded?
