Remember, these highly trained cops can carry a gun anywhere in the country...unlike the unwashed masses.

Either way, right or wrong, he would be alive if he had just dropped the gun when 5-0 rolled up. I don't like the idea either, but being above ground is a much better than being right.
radio said this morning he was standing in his garage and the alarm was sounding at a house next door or across the street.

the same feelings had it been you grandfather too i assume
I mean what would be the difference...so now you get killed holding a gun and not pointing it if that is the case....you would tell your grandma well grandpa should have dropped the gun its his fault hes dead
Burglary alarm.. man with gun when Officers arrive. 1+1 = he could be the bad guy.
Yup

"unwashed *?". Speaking from personal experience?
As an average middle aged, middle class, gun owning male living in an average middle class neighborhood, I believe I am twice as likely to be shot by police than by a criminal. Period.
Better find a lower class neighborhood to even out the odds. [;)][:D]
If I found the right neighborhood I could shoot back . . . [:D]
I'm guessing it's because they know that manslaughter is going to be a likely conviction.
And that's the optimistic part on the criminal side.
Civil suits will ensure their children don't have cash for college. Wives won't own their own homes. Bankruptcy and despair.
It's going to suck all the way around. [xx(][:(!]
