What are you talking about? They did do what needed to be done. They were all rookies and they ended up shooting the weapon-wielding perp! Were you on the scene? You don't second guess another officer's decision. If you have several officers covering you with deadly force, it doesn't hurt to try less-lethal alternative. Your an Idiot!

Double posting is annoying just so you can be seen. And monday morning quarterbacking another cop (especially when you WERE NOT THERE) makes you look ridiculous. Just sayin. I personally think the attempts with less lethal measures helps their case when the media BS starts. They did everything they could trying to diffuse the situation before having to shoot him.

I agree,because if that man was mentally ill, than he would be able to get away with any damage that he would have done, so, the officers defended their own life and others. And the ill man was bad to the world. so actally they did us all a favor. The only reason that there is a bad relationship between Iroquois and the police is because Iroquois made it that way, shooting at police cars and at the police, thats are tax paying dollars that we have to replace, thanks Iroquois 4 nothing
