Former D. C. Metro Sgt. Enis Jevric, 42, has just been sentenced for the shooting death of An'Twan Gilmore, 27, three years ago.  He plead guilty to involuntary manslaughter and excessive force six months ago.

Gilmore was asleep (passed out?) in his car with a handgun in his waistband.  Sgt. Jevric approached him.  Jevric was pretty well protected by a ballistic shield.  Another officer tapped on the window and Gilmore awakened and the car jumped forward.  Gilmore had both hands on the steering wheel at the time.  Jevric fired a total of ten shots at the vehicle.  None of the other officers present fired any shots.  When the cops opened up the car Gilmore's pistol was still in his waistband, retained by the seat belt.   

Jevric got five years in prison and five years of supervised probation after release.

Personally I have a great deal of sympathy for a cop who makes an honest, understandable error in a stressful situation.  I do not believe this situation qualifies as that.  He had been a cop since 2007.
