If you are ever in Billings Montana, don’t get pulled over by this cop.
This was not the first time Morrison shot and killed an unarmed, nonviolent person during a traffic stop. In 2013, Morrison shot and killed James Shaw after a routine traffic stop. Shaw was first hit with a taser then immediately shot and killed by Morrison. Morrison says he shot Shaw because he had a “crazed look on his face.”
