I agree with the guy who posted that if the attitudes by cops here are indicative of the force as a whole the whole lot of you need fired.
We had more stringent rules of engagement on civilians in Iraq than these jackasses have against US civilians in a walmart.
This is out of control.
Colonel Walter,
Many and most people here are biased based on their own experience. It appears to me, given your comment, that your view is biased based on your experience dealing with the restrictions, limitations and rules you lived under. I wonder if you'd be so unflexing if you'd been allowed the opportunity to do your job without the ROE you had.
I've been to different sources to watch the video, and the guy did not react properly when requested to drop the gun. Face it, his whole action, to pick up a apparent real looking weapon, and hang out in the pet food aisle for an extended duration was just not right.
The cops did their job.
You can't compare them to Iraq, and contrary to the lot that posts this, these items don't happen every damn day, and certainly are the superminority of interactions with police.
