Three shootings in three years
Philadelphia police were forced to rehire officer Cyrus Mann, who fatally shot an unarmed man in the back

Philadelphia police officer Cyrus Mann stood on a rain-slicked road, pointed his gun at a moving car and pulled the trigger five times, hitting the driver.

The next year, he chased an unarmed man down an alley and shot him in the back.

Two years later, he fired his gun four times at a man he had stopped for a suspected traffic violation.

Most officers will never fire their weapons while on duty. Mann, a nine-year member of the Philadelphia Police Department, shot three people in just over three years. The shooting in the alley, on Aug. 9, 2012, would prove fatal and prompt the police commissioner to try to fire Mann.

2. If we won't pay cops what they're worth, and budget for comprehensive oversight...

...we're just disproportionately retaining the ones who are in it for the guns and oppression.

4. Article says he makes in excess of 70 grand.

That’s not too bad.

5. And yet he's received little comprehensive oversight. n/t

6. Well, the commissioner did want to fire him.

The article shows he was investigated several times.

My guess is this guy will finally bury himself.

3. When asked for comment -

Mann answered, “No comment, f—k off.”

What a prince of a guy.
