I'm actually curious -- the fact that he happens to be a lieutenant in the army.

Honestly shocked and relieved that anything resembling justice was served.

Wanna know something really funny? Of the Army Lt who's job is to shoot people, and the law enforcement office, guess who has more training in de-escalation? 8D

All it took was the evidence from 4 months ago going viral and a lawsuit

It's not a soldier's job to de-escalate.

Cops are not trained like soldiers. They don't have the same objectives and goals as soldiers. They don't have the same rules of engagement as soldiers. They don't serve the same function in society as soldiers. They are NOT soldiers and should not be treated as such.

Just point and fire. How different can it be?

Their not supposed to, but they have been talk about giving him military grade tech while telling them not to get involve in community while on duty.

That's what makes it funny. The soldier actually was given de-escalation training. The cop wasn't.
