That cop probably wishes he called in sick Saturday. He is rat-forked regardless of the outcome. If the shooting is determined to be justified and no disciplinary actions or criminal charges are filed, the locals will want him skewered anyway. He may work in law enforcement again but it damn sure won't be in Ferguson. At least not if he values his life.

If he did go overboard and they do go after him, in any way, he's going to be the next George Zimmerman. At that point, the best he can hope for is to survive whatever legal issues he faces and then move out of state.

Here is my prediction: He will never do any time for any of this and they will riot some more when that reality hits them. That will be very soon, when they announce there will be no charges or much later, after a trial, where he is acquitted. Either way, more chit is going to be broken and more things will burn. We'll probably even see another dead body or two out of this.
