He just pointed right at the anchor and shot her, then pointed right at the cameraman and started shooting over and over and over again. Human beings use our voices to speak to each other and communicate usually. At least civilized ones do. is up with that cop? What a fucking asshole.

Still, clearly no reason to fire on a news crew.
