This was not about the "war on drugs". And while something's obviously very wrong when a police officer who doesn't intend to even fire his gun ends up fatally shooting someone, I think it's safe to say that the victim was no angel, and there was good reason to have guns drawn when preparing to arrest him. Guys who are raking in hundreds of thousands of dollars from running illegal gambling operations usually do travel armed.

Obviously state govs that run gambling rings (lottos) are no angels...and when these same cops go after state legislators who provide gambling operations thru out the state raking in millions, be sure to remind them to have their guns drawn...Afterall, they too are dangerous criminals...according to your insane (il)logic.
