> Call it what it was, "A Public Execution". I'm not saying the guy didn't deserve to die, I just think it is questionable if 100 plus shots were needed. It is irresponsible for any group of officers to fire that much at a surrounded individual. When was the last time you heard of a war casualty hit 68 times?

Public Execution!!! Crikey, they didn't HANG him fer Petesake. He was armed, he'd killed police and he was gunned down. This was a varmint shoot. Not an execution.

You obviously left the /sarc tag off, because only a buffoon would question whether the officers present needed to fill this Scroat full of lead. Would you like him running free with firearms in your neighborhood? I wouldn't.

Again, I think it was a good kill. I just question the sensibility of how it was done. If you lived in a very crowded area where only the "Peace" Officers are armed, and realized that they most commonly respond this way when they feel endangered, it makes you a little uneasy as a common citizen.
