Wow this is scary. Result of a hyped up guy on drugs?
People that are possibly mentally ill or on drugs and not coherent or thinking rationally won't always respond how you think they should.you don't say "please put the knife down", you say drop the @#$%&* knife or i'll blow your #$%^& head off you @#$%&. And you say it with comand voice.
A while ago I have read the article about loaded junkie who survived after he was shot multiple times with .44Magnum."You see, with modern bullets, the 9mm is just as effective as larger calibers in stopping the threat..."
There's a trial going on now in GA, sometimes local news goes nationwide because of the wire services here or the HQ of the Communist News Network. It's the case of the cop shooting a charging naked man. I'm interested in how it plays out especially since the jurors that decide his fate are the same (type) ones that will decide mine should I decide to shoot a naked charging (vet) man. The defense is up to make their case.
I heard a snipet of the defense saying forget that he was a cop. How would (should) a human react to a charging individual. If on the jury I will never forget that he was a sworn officer. He is empowered by the government be it local or federal to take away an individuals freedom or life. He has authority that I don't have and along with that authority comes the responsibility to use it properly. More responsibility than John Q public has and should have more training to go with it. That's what certifications are all about.
As for that Guiger lady ex-cop that was found guilty of shooting that guy in his apartment. 10 years?? Possible parole in 5. Too light, life or close to it is more fitting. She doesn't get 'ole sparky because she had a uniform on at the time.
