That is irrelevant to the situation at hand, but neat.

Police being trigger happy isn't relevant to the situation?

Even if they do that, the guy here was an unexpected variable.
Unexpected variables are exactly why a situation needs to be assessed before running in guns blazing. 'Think before you act' is important when lives are at stake.

You presented a scenario that wasn't relevant, yes.

But this is a situation where hesitation could lead to more innocent lives lost.

Jeez CE REALLY hates cops.

Your hypothetical doesn't apply here, it was his lack of hesitation that literally cost an innocent life.

Oh, so you're not remotely being serious with your posts then. Unjustly shooting an innocent person out of fear qualifies as trigger happy.

You do, no one said what would happen if you do, though

If armed bureaucrats will shoot you on sight for exercising it, its not a right. I mean unless you have a nonsense definition of what a right is.

I guess. But in a hypothetical situation, it could have been the other way around, that is all I'm saying.

The situation you presented wasn't relevant, no. Like, not in the slightest.

They won't always lol, you are being ridiculous. Someone at my workplace carries a gun and has been pulled over in front of me before, and showed off his gun.

Nothing happened.

It's one awful, tragic situation that was the worst case scenario.

Cops should be trained to take cover, ask for surrender (assuming no active shooting) and then if they dont comply take action. I mean, like in the movies.

If we defund the police, who will show up five minutes late, after we prevent a mass shooting, and murder us? You radical leftists didn't think about that.

What you over look is that bootlickers DONOT CARE if cops kill people when you back them into a corner and beat them down with facts they will not hesitate for a single second to finally say "Oh well its just one murder it was an accident sometimes cops kill the wrong person"

I mean it's sad he got shot and died, but being a "anarchist" doesn't make me thrilled about him either. Still unfortunate and all the more reason to not get involved with a criminal in the act unless there are personal stakes involved.

Yeah that's the thing. They are quick to chalk up a civilian being injured or killed as collateral damage unless it involves them or someone they care about.

i really dont get some of the responses here. just because the guy got killed doesnt magically stop him from being a "good guy with a gun" nor does stop him from being a hero who potentially saved a lot of lives for his own.

this is something that IS taught (or explained) in most CCW classes and most know the risks over. if you want to roll those dice then its on you. i also dont like the (ironic) defending of the police here either whos first line of thought was to start blasting. thats not how the training used to be.
