Not really, but i can still imagine how things could have happened, what the situation could have been like. Sure, if i did, that would help me do this better.
Of course, the US is a big place. This could just have been an unfortunate event. Then again, i dont think that in general, the police in the US is a shining example either.
If i get time, i will try to look up what policemen are trained to do in such situations in the Netherlands.(And which even carry guns in the first place.) |
The police didn't have the luxury of getting to imagine how things would happen, they had a real person, who had been acting in a threatening way with knives and whatnot to his own mother, with a real weapon in his hand that could cause injury or death. In situations like that they have to act on thier training. If they believed their life or someone else's life was threatened, deadly force is called for.
