He told me there was less paperwork after drawing a gun if the guy died. He committed suicide after confiding in his closest friends that he was being asked to do something VERY illegal by his coworkers and that if he didn't, they couldn't trust a "clean cop" and no one would have his back on the street. The rot goes DEEP.
