[QUOTE="donna723, post: 495003, member: 1883"] The thing about a "stun gun" is that you have to get close enough to the subject to touch them with it! The police couldn't do that when facing what appeared to be a person with a loaded lethal weapon aimed right at them! Even if they had tried to use the kind of tazer that shoots electrified barbs into the subject from a short distance away, that takes some doing and setting up and this was a person with his finger on the trigger - a stray bullet could have gone anywhere! The police had absolutely no choice. Unfortunately this is a society where armed students have gone into schools and killed and injured dozens of innocent students and teachers and the police respond accordingly. And don't forget ... all the boy had to do is drop the gun when they told him to and he would still be alive and well today! It almost appears to be a case of "suicide by cop". It happens. I feel very sorry for all involved but if you refuse to cooperate and you aim what appears to be a loaded weapon at police officers, they're going to shoot you! [/QUOTE]
