Would you care to actually answer the question? How would the officer's response in this situation have been acceptable if the call information given was actually true?

You people literally can not judge them. As far as they knew they were facing an armed and very dangerous person. This man walks out and suddenly puts his hand towards his waist and you expect them to be ok with this? Idiot didn't follow basics fucking instructions. DO. NOT.MOVE. Any sudden movements and they're gunna shoot you. How is this in anyway their fault?


"Walks out and suddenly puts his hand towards his waist" - I mean he was standing outside for a while, it's not like he just rushed out the door and immediately made a hand motion. In fact none of his behavior seemed like that of a deranged hostage taker. Even when he did move his hand it wasn't jerky, sudden or immediate.

they didnt know it was a false call

Totally irrelevant. If they knew it was a false call, why would they have gone?

....dont know why people here love to pretend cops are psychics

I'd setle for being able to pretend they're competent.

I'd also like to be able to pretend CE had a competent grasp of the term "personal responsibility", considering how often the term is bandied about when it suits.

What does that mean? I dunno if Kansas is particularly harsh or not in sentences, or even what they could put on him for the charges.

idk either, so I guess we'll find out. I imagine he's facing harder charges since he got someone in Kansas killed.

Kansas does have a death penalty, but nobody's been executed since 1965.

... UNTIL NOW.

Imagine if they did this thing where they're like "you're free to go" and he's walking out of the courtroom and the cops start yelling at him and giving him conflicting demands and he screws up and they shoot him.
