in this case, i don't think the police screwed up. with the information i have, they were probably spot on or at least in the ball park of what was appropriate.

my big beef is people not wanting to question what police do (again, authorized actions or not) or not making police accountable for their actions.
In canada whenever the police pull their gun and use it, there is a inquiry..there are already policies in place to make the police accountable for their actions...and yes some policman are actually found to be in the wrong...so there isnt an old boys club syndrome going on here...

and its funny how somethings are never good enough for some people, 30 years ago this man would of been shot by the cops for not responding...people bitch the cops get tasers instead, people still bitch...what is your solution then? if you are going to question than give me a educated thought out solution to what these cops should of done in this situation?
