I’m wondering what the point of posting this is. The teen was pointing a gun. The officer believed people’s safety was in jeopardy. What’s to say, except “People teach your children responsible behavior with weapons”?

the point was that it is in alaska... just like promoting any bad news out of texas or florida (while jeb was running the state)

If all that anyone gets out of the article is (in your words) “People teach your children responsible behavior with weapons”, then it was worth posting.

It makes sense to me without ever being told, never to point a weapon at anyone for reasons other than self defense. I'm sure it makes sense to you, too.

Apparently, though, it isn't common sense, and it needs repeating.
