[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 250375, member: 2315"] OK how does a mentally ill person get to keep a gun and how does the family rationalize it as OK? There is so much wrong here. Why should/would police let a SW go in to a building to talk to someone that has been threatening them? I think that the family in their grief is not thnking right. No police officer would allow a civilian to go into a dangerous situation. Should they have shot to kill? Absolutly not. But it doesn't soulnd like that was the case it sounds like a volley tof shots that unfortunately connected with the victim in a lethal way. That is what flash bangs and tear gas is for but I doubt they had these things in the patrol car. It sounds like this happened very fast without time for a police negotiator to get involved. I think the police reacted before they thought it through. To little training most likly which is typical of small time police units. Tragic yes but not shocking. -RM [/QUOTE]
