This should really have its own thread with a disclaimer. In case it gets out of control.

Fixed for ya.BUG-E J said:Your wife calls you and says a guy is waving a gun around in your yard. You go out and draw a weapon on the first person you see in the area and start yelling at him. He is acting sketchy and confused and keeps reaching pulling his pants up. You tell him if he does it again you will protect yourself. He then lays down on the ground as instructed. He goes real slow and reaches for his pants again so you empty the gun to stop the threat. Afterwards you realize he was unarmed and he was just trying to pull his pants up. You were told somebody in the vicinity had a gun and saw him as a threat. If you waited to see the proverbial gun, he would get at least 1 shot off. Would it be worth him shooting your wife or you to make sure he actually had the gun? Now the way it was handled up until that point was bad but I think the cop pulling the trigger was self defense. The situation could have been avoided but I honestly think the officer thought he had a weapon and was protecting himself and fellow officers.
I'm not trying to start a pissing match but those are two total different situations to be honest, cops wife was not present but several officers were, that cop is a trained professional and taught to de escalate a situation like this, just a sad situation all way aroundBUG-E J said:Your wife calls you and says a guy is waving a gun around in your yard.

He shouldn't be afforded qualified immunity on the basis of at least 1 constitutional violation.BUG-E J said:

Fairly certain I got a 6 of this the night we saw Dust2Glory. Threw most of it away. I like porters and stouts. This was horrible to me.zukimaster said:This stuff is liquid ***ties! Good, good, good!![]()
