Still, this has to be taken in the context of 1.2 officers in the country and with the internet, every episode like this will be reported.
I had a friend, Rob Noblin, got shot three times when Obama’s son pulled gun out of defective holster in 93.
Forgive me for not crying and fearing riots every time something like this happens.
1.2 millions guys facing eight hours a day of insanity. It’s simple odds that things will go wrong sometimes.
This is very regrettable but as you say, understandable. What really gets to me is the Brian Claunch story and others such as people being shot dead by officers on a drug raid at the wrong address. The Brian Claunch shooting really bothers me because almost no one knows about it and the reason no one knows is immediately obvious when you see a picture of Brian Claunch. Everyone in this country should be made aware that a man with one arm and one leg, sitting in a wheelchair in a nursing home was shot dead because he supposedly had hemmed an officer of the law into a corner of a room and was making threatening motions...with a BALL POINT PEN! We don’t need leos who cannot handle such a situation without committing legalized murder.
