Isn't it nice that the rookies are able to gain valuable on the job experience by screwing up? And like my daddy always told me, there are mistakes and then there are mistakes. We aren't talking about failure to put enough gas into the cop car, no, what we are talking about is THE TAKING OF A MAN'S LIFE. The cop's lives go on, and as you say, their journey continues, OTH, GRANDPA IS DEAD.
Remember the Clint Eastwood movie, "Unforgiven"? At one point in the film, Clint's character comments about what it means to take a man's life.
The Schofield Kid:: [after killing a man for the first time] It don't seem real... how he ain't gonna never breathe again, ever... how he's dead. And the other one too. All on account of pulling a trigger.
Will Munny: It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have.
