He was just doing what good cops are supposed to do.
No.
Good cops don’t fire warning shots.
They DO miss the target often.
There is no such thing as “fair play” when it comes to instruments of death. “Good cops” are intelligent cops, which means you acquire your target, then announce “police, put your hands up and get on your knees.” If the person fails to obey, shoot him. THAT is “fair play.”
This guy was just dumb.
Not so much interested in being vindicated on his case as I am fearful that a LOT of people (including freepers) may have a weapon and (like this guy) have no real understanding of the rules of engagement. In this case, they got a man killed. Just don’t want it to happen again.
That is all
