The man was apparently, mentally ill. They don’t know any better, and while I realize the cops have to subdue people and avoid injury to themselves regardless of one’s mental state, surely to God there are more humane ways of doing so than blowing their face off.
I wasn’t there and I presume you weren’t either, right?
When someone points a gun at you, you presume that they will fire, and that it may kill you. So you fire before they do if at all possible.
...and then you shoot until the perp is down and unable to get up, or in anyway use their weapon.
Being “humane” to someone threatening you with a firearm is a sure fired way to end up dead.
Not if they’re pointing a gun at you.
Cops didnt know he was schizophrenic or that it was a pellet gun. Sad, but lunatic with gun threatening/shooting cops...gets face blown off. Thats the rule every time. Its a good rule in this day.
Sure, but nothing else is as much fun. </JBT>
