The important thing is, another ‘Quickdraw McGraw’ hair-triggered LEO made it home safely to his family.
The idea that the cops should shoot on sight anyone carrying a gun if not in cop uniform is wrong so many ways.
Shoot first and ask questions later is not a good policy.
These killer cops are cowards and bullies and ought to be put down like mad dogs,not rewarded.
When I was a kid we played with very realistic looking toy guns as well as BB guns and I never heard of the cops 50 years ago shooting kids -no stupid orange tips either.
The problem is entirely with the police agencies and their bootlicking defenders.
