Why haven't I seen this on the news?

Guns suck.

So what to do if the videos can't be released or can't be found or were damaged in the shootout or what ever.

Then I don't buy it.

Imagine it happened this way.

Man loses it in Costco and kills 2 citizens while officers hesitate to use lethal force.

I'm trying to get in to law enforcement personally, and while I think officer involved shootings need to be thoroughly investigated, I really hate that so many in the public immediately jump to crucify the involved officers. Are there bad cops? Of course. And when a case has been investigated and the officer found to be criminally trigger happy or dirty I'll be right up there with everyone else if he or she doesn't get the punishment that fits the crime. But the more we condemn any officer involved shooting before all the facts are in or investigation done, the more we'll be tying up good officers hands and letting some really bad people kill others in that second or two hesitation. I've seen videos of cops badly injured or killed in the line of duty because they told the suspect to "drop it" or "get on the ground" too many times.

It's truly damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Cops tend to get special treatment.

Sounds like another cop murder. I'm glad people are starting to yell "187!" on the pigs but they'll probably just get manslaughter if that, just like Mehserle.

Yeah, praise crime, Allhu Akbar!

and low life's who get their guns illegally to commit crimes suck -
no reason a law abiding citizen can't legally obtain a gun

I am not a fan of criminals, but I just think there is more to this story. Have to wait and see.

No really. Guns suck.

When was the last time you guys had a debate on the gun issue? I'd get some popcorn smileys for that one.
