Is it even possible for this country to get more insane and retarded? Satirical comics will be going out of business!

The skin color of the victim is going to make this another big story.

I’m just so undecided about this. Maybe if Traydmark’s Mother chimed in with her reasoned, learned opinion I would be better informed and make a reasonable decision.

Even if it was a thief attmepting to steal my car from my driveway, I should think that the way the LEOs handled this situation was inappropriate and unacceptable. I do not want cops or deputies conducting themselves in that manner anywhere near my neighborhood. Let’s face it, their actions were unlawful, and constituted reckless disregard for human life. Yeah, they have a hard job. It must be very hard to scream commands at strangers and then fire at them for unknown reasons.

Obama’s Brown Shirts. R U still wondering who he will use to fire on citizens after he declares martial law?

The pack syndrome.
One LEO who got scared fired a shot and the others joined in. They didn’t know, nor did they care, why they joined in , but they did, this man was lucky none of them could hit what they aimed at.

Every officer involved should lose his badge and be cleaned out in a civil suit.

Well, maybe so, but we’re still not a police state: nobody’s dog got shot to death.
To: neverdem
Everyone is talking about the ever-growing cop-military. It’s the real deal.
To: dinodino
That won’t change the behavior. They are trained that the only important thing is that officer safety comes first, before everything else.
