Well you caught a typo, which I'll fix. I meant to say, "anything good".



I was doin' alot of thinkin' on that topic, so I'll just say it tapped out my main processor!

This is a lose - lose scenario. This gentleman ended up dead, the officer in the incident has shot and killed someone and will have to live with that for the rest of his life. Reading a thread like this with all the various thoughts, opinions and observations is really interesting. But, I'm still stuck on the fact that a man who has lived 70 years as a decent citizen and an officer who's been trained at our expense is facing a whole bunch of trouble, not the least of which are the internal consequences of his action, and there isn't anything good coming from this.

It seems that the main result of this incident and any news coverage it gets will be to push those in Law Enforcement and those who are either concerned with their rights or becoming concerned about those rights , further apart and more skeptical and suspicious of the intent of the other (LEO or citizen) no matter the circumstance. Given the events, political developments and societal issues concerning firearms, I think the last thing we all need is for law enforcement to become aggressive "on weapons" whilst a significant segment of society is getting really nervous about the topic. I will say that I'd sure prefer to be reading that Mr. Schaefer was going to appear in court on such and such a charge and so forth...
