Police trainer: "Be polite, be professional, have a plan to kill everyone you meet."

US marshals act like local police, but with more violence and less accountability

PHOENIX — Detective Michael Pezzelle spent his last seven years on a suburban police force here amassing a body count. He was involved in shootings that wounded two people and killed five, including a teenage girl who died when he fired into a car she was riding in.

Pezzelle faced no public consequences. He retired in 2018 and at age 47 started to collect a pension of $62,220 a year. Today, he trains police officers around the country to follow the kind of advice he shared on Instagram: “Be polite, be professional, have a plan to kill everyone you meet.”

You can murder tons of people in broad daylight and then instead of going to jail, you get several weeks of paid leave. Not bad.
