As someone who live fairly close to this area, I can tell you that domestic disputes like this are routine.

Police are authorized to use deadly force if they are threatened.

People need to learn to obey authority.

Local police in rural areas cannot afford tasers, bean-bag guns, etc. They are lucky to keep the donut dirt out of their sidearm.

That's a seriously scary mentality you have there.

"Bow to their authority or they will kill you!"

You've gotta be frigging kidding me! You can't be serious.

This has to be the most asinine statement on FR I have seen in a long time. As far as matching a gun to a rake, EVER HEARD OF A NIGHTSTICK ???? They're cheap enough for a rural police department to have a less than lethal force weapon at every cop's side.

And f$%^ the authorities on stuff like this if the cops are going to act the way this one did.
