What really has me scratching my head is that the "community" has a problem with what happened, and that some find this to be even newsworthy. If you brandish a weapon and threaten violence towards police, this is likely the outcome. What is so difficult to figure out???? Have we not seen the same thing play out over & over & over again many times through history? How STUPID does someone have to be to have a weapon, threaten a police officer, and expect a different outcome? I think that guy got exactly what he deserved, and it's a shame it did not happen sooner if what they say about his history with police is true.

His mother during the interview is priceless. She states he is known to have "mental disorder". That being the case, why is he not getting the care that he needs to control himself? I only wish the news station/reporter hosting the interview would have asked her "What could YOU have done differently as his parent to have helped avoid a situation like this?". I would PAY GOOD MONEY to have heard this question asked.

The woman in the parking lot being interviewed stated something to the effect of it could have been handled differently. Really... How so? They could have tazed him and arrested him and he'd be out again very soon threatening, or harming, other officers. Yes, that sounds like a great plan.

I commend the police for using almost enough bullets so as to insure that there was no court case, hospital bill, rehabilitation, ambulance ride, compensation from the city, and further wasted tax dollars. My hats off to those officers. If I knew who they were, I'd gladly contribute money towards more ammo.

I hear it said here and on other web sites "play stupid games, win stupid prizes". Our winner of the week with the bullet riddled body is thus crowned.
