Swing_n_Speed Posted September 15, 2013 Author Posted September 15, 2013 ^^^ Just ridiculous the amount of mistrust that exists on a societal level in USA.
Ram Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 How is this even possible? If a guy starts running towards you, your first instinct is not to pull out a firearm and take aim. Now, it is entirely understandable that law enforcement officers are always on edge when it comes to potential suspects acting in suspiciously aggressive ways, but how in the world did this altercation result in a death thru gun-shot wounds? I mean, could they not have fired warning shots in the air, or fired at his legs? Was the only self defence option available was to kill the guy?
