That is just like the moron in shively who was POINTING a gun at the officers and his even bigger moron of a daughter saying they should have tased him. No, I am not an officer but if someone was pointing a gun at me, especially some crazy guy, I would choose gun everytime. Great job to the officers involved, you did the right thing! Enjoy your time off.

Same story, different day

If you shoot, why didn't you tase

If you tase, why didn't you pepper ball

If you pepper ball, why didn't you pepper spray

If you pepper spray, why didn't you handcuff

If you handcuff, why didn't you take him to church and buy him lunch and try to save his soul FIRST

Wah wah wah are these people kidding?

I hate stupid citizens in this city that always get in an uproar over something ridiculous. I'm a citizen saying this, too. If someone charged at me (or any of this guys neighbors) with a hammer, you better believe my gun would be the first thing out-- and these people would say the same if they were on the receiving end. The media will always find the person who has the least right to a real opinion on the issue at hand.

forget pepperball guns, tasers, and bean bag rounds. I am going to hyper-modify some PEZ candy dispensers (you know, the flip up heads where the candy comes out) to shoot crack rocks and zanex bars. let them stone themselves out and settle down. safer for everyone ya know. and hey - free crack! Hey wait a minute......... If we do that, they are all gonna act crazy all the time - might run out of crack and zannies. Ok, back to the drawing board. now where did my hammer go?
