Police deal with suicide-by-cop nuts all the time. The boy clearly was not in that situation but the adult in Pitt's example may have been, that is probably why they spent 40 minutes "negotiating". The action on the boy in the park sounds excessively short. Was there any attempt to ask the boy to drop the "gun"? How did he respond?
The Travis County DA (who's continued employment has become the basis for an indictment against Gov. Rick Perry) "negotiated" with police for 60 minutes at a roadside stop regarding DWI (they did not even begin to administer the test for 30 minutes and gave her 30 minutes of chances to comply with the testing officer's requests).
I don't hear libs up in arms over law enforcement privilege or the persecution of Rick Perry.
leftist privilege
