The cops get to shoot people.

If someone points a gun at you, will you act or cower ?

If the facts are as reported, I think this is a good shoot. An added fact, these two police officers fired a total of six shots. In this day and age, it is normal to read that the two cops would have fired 20-30 rounds. Six shots tell me we have two well trained and well disciplined police officers here.

Pointing a BB gun at police officers as they are making an arrest should qualify the dead guy to at least an honorable mention at the Darwin awards ceremony

The cops get to shoot people.

Apparently with good reason.

A dozen New York cops have been shot this year, compared with nine during the previous three years, the Daily News reported Sunday.

The number of shootings involving police officers in which there was return fire from an assailant doubled to 18 so far in 2012, from nine last year.

Fifty-six bullets were fired at New York police this year, compared with 23 in 2011, the newspaper reported.
