It was a pretty dramatic overreaction. But that's not really a surprise nowadays
No, clearly I shouldn't have any expectations that the men we're supposed to call to help us deal with an actual crisis are actually capable of handling said crisis in a measured and reasonable way.

Reminds of the classic Jack Handey quote..."I think a good gift for the president would be a chocolate revolver. And since he's so busy, you'd probably have to run up to him and hand it to him."
Cops are trying to do a serious job. As we've seen, there's a fine line between someone running up to you and dancing, and the same person running up to you and shooting you in the head. That's why you don't be an idiot around the cops when they're trying to do their job - pretty simple.
The fact that this is the type of guy that people are defending these days is a fitting commentary for where we're at with this issue.
