What does “showed that he had a gun” mean? That sounds different than “pulled a gun on the officer”. If the gun was legally-owned and was not pulled on the officer but simply showed to him, why would it be justifiable to shoot the guy?

It's really interesting to see how the media manipulates people. The way the author phrases this story makes it sound completely innocuous. "Showed that he had a gun" makes it sound like you and your buddy are checking out each other's legally owned firearms in your house. The author then paints a picture that the cops just started blasting.

It really is amazing. I went to the author's twitter page, and it's exactly what you'd expect. Filled with gay pride and ruth bader ginsburg and obama and all the rest. Do not trust a single word written in this article.
