[quote=spdrun]What about being effective, but not going out of one’s way to be an arsehole as this guy seems to have done? Or if you do, make sure it’s not being recorded for posterity.
BTW, one example is the second guy shot by cops in St. Louis. He was holding what looked to be a tiny knife down and yelling “shoot me! kill me!” Instead of treating him like the loony he was, and retreating back into their truck while trying to talk him down, the cops chose to yell, then empty nine or ten shots into him.
It shouldn’t always be a matter of “winning” the situation, but of creating an outcome where carnage is minimiz’d.[/quote]
I hate when they shoot someone like that too…taking the particulars on your word. The only popular cop in a very bad neighborhood is going to be one who doesn’t do his job at all or worse is corrupt . That’s what I am talking about.
