You can get as much info out of a dead man as a live man in this country. What a shame he’s alive

Between this and the cat thread, I don't think meritmat is a very nice person.

Because a "shot first, ask questions later" mentality results in infinitely more dead innocents at the hands of police than dead terrorists.

Also, investigations are much easier when people are alive to be questioned.

Considering he seemed to want to get taken out by the officer, I think that's a great job done overall.

Watching the Twitter video and seeing how that played out, I think we'll see high praise for the restraint and resolution of this situation. I feel like if this was south of the border that guy would have been dropped if he even motioned towards holding his phone.

Like it or not, the guy's identification is relevant to the story.

I’m peaches and cream

Sorry I have no sympathy for somebody’s that just killed 4 people and with our joke of a justice system there’s a good chance this guy will be out in the public in time.

As for the cat thread I feel for the op it’s no fun to lose a pet and I do have a house cat

You seem to have some real anger issues. Perhaps seek counselling.

Reports that the hospital the injured people have been taken to currently have their ER in lock-down as a precaution. Is that a normal thing to do in a situation like this?
