Looks like Al and Jesse will have to split their time between Ferguson and Cleveland.

Here’s an idea..if you don’t want to get shot..don’t point a gun at cops..gee, logic, who knew!
To: Impala64ssa
The gun had been modified to remove its orange tip, making it identifiable as a toy.
Those orange tips are a rotten idea. I have never heard of any time when an LEO said, “I was just about to shoot them, and then I saw the orange tip on their gun, so I didn’t.”
Likewise, since it would be easy to put a fake orange tip on a real gun, it does the police no good anyway.
Instead, kids need instruction that they should never, ever draw down on a cop, and if a cop ever orders them to do something, they must. And most important of all, a fake gun can get them really shot.

The boy reached into his waistband, pulled out the gun and the rookie officer fired two shots, Tomba said.
Slowly move your hands away from your body.

"We don't come to work everyday and want to use force on anybody, No, that's wrong.
In fact these days most cops want to do EXACTLY THAT, and that's why they signed up to be a cop.
They feel they have a license to hunt humans, and that's what they do.
They see citizens as falling into two types --those they have arrested and those still awaiting arrest, and nothing in-between.

No doubt.If you go to the story at the link,have a look at the “BB” gun.A real close copy of a 1911.Would fool about anyone if they only had a split second to decide.

Yup. You can argue the finer points of the constitution in a court of law but only if you're alive to do so.

I thought the manufacturers were supposed to put orange end caps on the barrels.
