I respect police officers, but there are some that should not be cops.
This guy killed 3 people in 12 years?
I know 4 retired cops that never killed anyone.

My only problem with this case is that it has taken 4 years to get to trial.

This Auburn cop killed 3 and injured others. His department didn't stop him — outsiders did
Within a 12-year career, Auburn police officer Jeffrey Nelson has killed three people. Records obtained by KUOW reveal a litany of allegations that he has habitually engaged in misconduct, both toward civilians and colleagues alike.

The same standard that applies to you and me should also apply to police officers
