Your ad hominem attacks are foolish priggery. Let's pretend the shooter is a retired plumber or a retired circus midget. How does this change your opinion of the situation?

It doesn't change my opinion about a self-absorbed social media addict assaulting a 71 year old man in a movie theater.

A cop is supposed to be trained on how to handle incidents like these. So yeah they get the special treatment, they get the special standards.

You equate throwing popcorn to shooting someone. Fortunately the off duty cop also present had more sense.

Today's police are taught "Confrontation Uber Alles!". That goes double for SWAT police.

We can safely assume that Reeves was being Pavlovian in response to a peasant defying him.

See, a normal CCW holder would have left the scene. Not so with a Confrontation Boy. We can view the sad results of this misguided policy in this instance.
