Un. Fucking. Real. They sent this cat to the Slow Horses, and somehow he escaped. What supervisor thought, “Yeah, I’ll put Evan in charge of training! This can’t possibly result in any blowback whatsoever!”

In the future when the cops he trained fuck up, they can point to being trained by this idiot as an excuse to get their department more budget for training instead of getting in trouble for the fuck up.

My brain is a jerk.

Gross, man

Alvarez was found to have had a mobile phone in one hand, and a gun in the other. At no point is he seen on video aiming his gun at police. As he ran, he appeared to attempt to use his phone, however.

The police board ultimately concluded that video shows Alvarez stumbling, and he “was attempting to regain his footing—not positioning himself to take a shot at the officers.”
