[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 357177, member: 2211"] [SIZE=3][COLOR=indigo]I like the way this turned out. Like Witz, they would have shot him dead here also. In fact, there is a story about a man who was well known to have mental illness from years ago - in his 30's at the time. Apparently, his parents called the police on him because he was having a meltdown. When the police arrived, his mom pleaded with them not to shoot him, but to just subdue him. The man was swinging a large stick around and making threats at the police. Within 35 minutes, the man was dead. The police shot him because - and this is their defense - he was threatening them. **With a stick? Couldn't they have just shot him in the foot or something?
