Eight Round into a 13 Year Old Boy with a Toy

[Intercooler]

   I look at them as case by case and relate it to my own personal thought process in that situation. Keeps me sane 

     In this case why are the parents off the hook? This child shouldn't have left the home with something looking like that given all that has happened in recent years. They should IMO have also engrained how you proceed with law enforcement when they are given instructions. That right there squashes 99% of things getting out of hand.

      It's a real crazy World out there and you couldn't pay me to be a LEO. With the things we have seen I would be on the edge all the time! Wish I had more details on how far they were away, etc... when this happened to see if a Tazer was an option. You have seconds to make a decision if it were a real rifle and the distance may have been too great after giving commands.

  People like me are lost?  This whole Country is lost because of cops like this.
  These kinds of Gestapo tactics are happening all across America and when "People like me" comment on them, bitch about them and post them on forums for others to see we are "Cop Bashing". 

  When the truth about Obama is told, you are a Racist, when the truth about cops and their Gestapo tactics is told you are a "Cop Basher".  Best we just sit back, shut up and let Obama run rampant in his quest to destroy the Constitution and the cops do whatever they wish and terrorize whom ever they wish for fear of being called a Racist or a Cop Basher. 

OK, got it, thanks.

Seriously??

There is a big difference between commenting on a person (Obama, for example) and an entire group of people (cops, Muslims, Senators, etc) ... Cops as a whole are not the problem - it comes down to the person in question. You paint with too broad a brush, my friend.

And to play the "oppressed victim"?? SMH

You should check out Shooter's Legion. It has little to do with shooting these days and is all about the politics. :-/ I'd hate to see this forum turn into another political forum. I, for one, can barely bring myself to log on there anymore :-(

Can we just please keep THIS forum focused on the intended (desired!) subject? Or at least have an "Off Off Really Off Topic" section for political/religious/controversial posts?? Let's keep the 10mm love pure! :-)

Well said!
