Spare me the sob story. I’ve been called a “bootlicker” a dozen times, and you call me out for an “anti-cop” stereotype?

I’ve known men that were gunned-down in the line of duty in standoffs that started like this. It is unwise for cops to underestimate the threat posed by an armed, apparently drugged, individual that was erratic enough to have the cops called on him.

Sob story? Nope.I called you out on a juvenile rant. One that can't be proven too. Find more than one of us spouting anti-cop rhetoric on another police thread.

One person called you a name. The rest of us did not. But yet you smear everyone with the same brush. And one that you can't prove.

Did they fire 7 bullets into a crowd of innocents too?

Well, they had a half hour to get 'set up' in the parking lot. They had plenty of armed firepower.

They should have had him put his hands above his head, then handcuffed him. They could have tackled him, and handcuffed him. Where does 'underestimate' include shoot first, then see if he's really armed later?

The gun was in a zippered pouch. Did Mr. Scott point the zippered pouch at the officer? How can you fire a gun that is in a zippered pouch?
