What a crock! Guy points a gun at a cop, guy dies. Guy points a gun a me, guy dies. It's very simple. Self defense is always grounds for lethal force.
Guy points a gun at you, assuming you're armed, I'll bet the guy dies then, too.
Cop-bashing with no reason just doesn't get it. Bash bad cops all you want. Don't bash cops who point a gun at them.
It wasn't a guy pointing a gun. It was a child with a BB gun. I think the cops overreacted. Result, one dead child. We'll see what the results of the civil suit are. I already know what the results of the internal police investigation will be. Great shooting! Give them all medals!
