I guess he was exaggerating a bit when he said the water nozzle guy had aimed it at the cops.<br /><br />Too many cops, just like other gun owners, are not up to the life-and-death responsibility that goes with carrying a gun. That's the problem.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09806175370305006933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-75919039075324864402011-02-03T07:11:02.370+01:002011-02-03T07:11:02.370+01:00Water sprinkler guy didn't even know cops were...Water sprinkler guy didn't even know cops were there. They were hidden , all in positions of cover and dud not identify themselves. All Of these facts came straight from the police chiefs mouth. You can't point something at someones who's hidden, that you can't see and dont know is there. Sone Officers are just too trigger happy and with no severe discipline in place when officers themselves use unnecessary lethal force- why should they change. They could of shot camo, mumbling guy with rubber bullets no prob.. Or shot to disarm- NOT KILL.Officer reform needed!noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-23746156594291251942011-02-02T21:25:27.680+01:002011-02-02T21:25:27.680+01:00Well considering police in California have also sh...Well considering police in California have also shot a man holding a water sprinkler, I don't think the problem is realistic looking toy guns. I think the problem is people pointing things at cops.<br /><br />"The guy was "patrolling" up and down the street, dressed in camouflage, carrying a rifle and muttering (I think that was in there) to himself. I called that "mentally ill.""<br /><br />I could do the same, but that doesn't make me mentally ill. It just means I chose to do patrol up and down the street, dressed in camouflage, while carrying a rifle and muttering to myself.AztecRedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00027951757285806109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-3221568182433604612011-02-02T11:31:06.549+01:002011-02-02T11:31:06.549+01:00Jim, Zorroy's right.
